Hi all. I have a 66 Catalina sedan. Platinum with two tone blue interior. 389, PS, PB, AC and radio delete. Rescued her from a barn where she'd sat for 30 years. Little old lady car with 80 k miles.  I loved the overall design of the car, not to mention the dash. I'm hooked on restoring her even though she's a pillared sedan and has a few bumps and bruises.  She runs great, drives like a cargo ship.

1966 Pontiac Catalina. During COVID, I taught myself about engines, brake systems, fuel systems, and the whole electrical system. Whew. Sitting 30 years in a barn had taken a toll. Got her running! Then had her in the shop for a transmission service, new exhaust system, and other assorted repairs. I love her! Her back story... Margaret Barbour bought the car new in January of 66 here in Connecticut. She didn't drive and the car was used summers only (no winter salt) and she had a local guy drive her up to her home in Vermont every summer until 1990. Then the car sat for 30 years in a dry barn. When I got her, Peggy had these rather ugly seat covers, stained and dirty from years of sitting idle. It was used as acorn storage for squirrels. So I took the seats out last week, hoping to scrub them and also get the carpet out. Not a good smell at all. Well, I then realized the seats were actually covered with tailored aftermarket covers. I thought, man the material underneath must be a mess. Wrong. I took them off to find pristine vinyl and cloth seats! I was shocked, realizing she must have had the covers put on when the car was new, maybe by the dealership. Sometimes you get lucky! Thanks, Margaret Peggy" Barbour."
