Awesome. I had a 75 with the straight 6 about ten years ago. Wish I'd have kept it

i paid 500 for the car when i bought it cause it was wrecked

i actually have one other toy that i will probably never restore which is sad. its a Numbers matching 1 year only design 1960 Pontiac Catalina 4 door vista top.

Nice looking toy. It must be one of those guilty pleasures to restore something like that

As far as the '60 Cat, do they even make streets big enough to accomodate those things any more? If i am thinking of the right car, isn't it a giant boat that dwarfs a Ford Galaxy 500 or Plymouth Fury in size? Let me guess it's "old man pants oatmeal tan" in color too

bright lights! Bright Lights!!!

Project Stripe would have worked too as he was the bad *** gremlin and the mogwais were the fruity ewoks. Plus you have a stripe on yours.

You will have to get a buddy to film her first run on a strip some where and you tube it
