Gave Her a Bath and Took Some Photos..

Stunning, the best car I've seen on here imo. Certainly spanks all the common BMW's that are posted too much on here.
 
Very nice. When was it last resprayed? Red normally fades quick and that looks great.

I normally wouldn't group an American 60s muscle car with a 3/5 series..?

I've had a resurgence of enthusiasm for wrenching on my car lately, due in no small part to the lapse in the summer heat. As such I've gotten quite a bit of work done. Now that's I'm finished with most of the repairs and modifications I planed I decided my car needed a good cleaning. It turned out rather nicely, I think, so I hope you enjoy looking at these as much as I enjoyed taking them. :)

The car is a 1967 Pontiac Catalina Ventura 2-door sedan equipped with a built overbored 400 backed by a slightly modified TH400 transmission. The next frenzy will largely involve the interior. I'm refinishing the stock center console and will be installing new carpet and a headliner. I'm working on securing a cushy new set of seats but I don't expect that that will be finished before fall or winter interrupt my fun.[/QUOTE]

You should be racing that in flatout 2 :D

it looks like the car from that film with that guy with that porno tash who drives in front of his friend who is a beer smuggler or something.
 
Not bad for a 40 year old :D How many miles has it done over the years and could we get a full head on shot please
Side profile is ideal for a sig pic, am I ok to use it for 24hr?

It was sprayed about 15 years ago but as a weekend cruiser it was always garaged and kept slathered in wax.

I wouldn't quite say that with all the 3/5 series around in addition to Gibbo's awesome machines and Spie's new 911 but I do take that as a compliment. :)

Nah, that's a '77 Pontiac Trans Am, a much smaller car featured in Smokey and the Bandit.

Absolutely. I'd like that. She's completed 83k original miles according to the title and the odometer. For all I know that could also mean it completed 183k as well. Darn those 5-digit odometers! :p

Beautiful car Billy, seriously beautiful. :cool: :)

There's a roadside diner a couple of miles away from me that usually has quite a lot of old classics showing up for a meet every Tuesday night. I'll try and get down there with a camera this week.

It's a car I've admired for a long time so I'm probably more than a little biased ;)
