Default '63 Catalina 421 yard find

Here's a cool Pontiac Catalina that a frind of mine has stalked since 1992. It's been sitting in the original owners yard like this since 1970.
It's a '63 sports coupe, 412 HO tri-power, 370hp, 4 spd/bench, 8 lug with alum finned drums, 3:42 saf-t-track, Ventura trim, 42,000 one owner miles, Nocturne Blue exterior w/ tri color blue interior.
Sold at Boomershine in Atlanta for $4190.71 on June 28, 1963. One of 1365 built/build date Feb 11, 1963
Runs and drives

awesome find! I'm starting to get into those Pontiacs. What are his plans for it? Restoration or preservation?

Jude,
You say he's stalked it since '92. Did he finally get a chance to bring it home?

Cool ol Ponch!

We saw something similar Sunday. Driving down Grand Blvd. just North of SLU Med. Ctr. in St. Louis it was parked along side the street.
8 lug wheels, etc, but it had too many doors!

Yes, he did get it. For the 1st time in it's life it's inside.
Unsure of his plans to keep or sell, but I'll see the car in person tomorrow & have a chance to discuss it with him.
