Default TJS Cool 63 Pontiac Catalina and Lemans!

The 63 Lemans was bought sight unseen from a Polaroid pic from Hastings Nebraska about 13 years ago.a 4 cyl auto,saddle bronze white top car with 26K mile original trans axle car.Put a scratch and shoot one color paint job on it.My kids drove it to high school while I gathered all the parts to build my SD clone.Built the 421 motor with all the correct SD parts,heads,intake dist balancer etc.When I had EVERYTHING to do the deal I put it in a friends shop.10 days later drove out a 421 tremec 5 speed solid rear car and have never looked back.Car weighs 3640 with me in it and runs 12.20 at 112.

The 63 Cat was built from a 2 bbl 389 auto car by a friend in SoCal to a 421 4 speed console bucket seat car.He was done with the car and I bought it.I put the 15in steel wheels with poverty caps on it.Changed the intake to a tripower,then dual quads and now a single 4 and will be going back to the factory tunnel ram 2-4s like on the Lemans.I redid the interior with the correct pattern blk Ventura bucket seat from SMS.Car is a great driver,power steering power brakes AM/FM radio etc.
