    1946 Project on hold for a time-

     



    I bought a 1960 Pontiac Catalina 2 door hard top- one owner- CA car with 83,000 miles- sitting in a shed behind the 90 year old owners house- not been run since a botched back yard tune up-
    Got it running middle of last week-
    Exhaust system yesterday- radiator out to shop for recore today- tomorrows project is the brakes- acts like the wheel cylinders are seized up- moisture probably rusted the bores- will change all fluids and filters after I finish the tune up when the radiator comes back- so far don't have a grand in the project- front tires are ElDorado brand bias plies that look like new but he says are 20 years old- rear are a Mobile brand but wore out- vehicle is rust free and in excellent shape/ good chrome/ stainless and glass for 51 years old- I'll get back to the 1946 but this one needed little to be back on the road- original paint- not a hot rod but nice enough for me- sucker weighs in at a sleek 3997 pounds-

    Incredible find!! I've always liked that vintage Poncho. A little altitude adjustment, some nice wheels and tires (the 8 lug, finned aluminum center, factory setup would be killer) and that would be a fine summer cruiser.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
