I'm glad to be a part of your forum.  I've had my 1966 Catalina 2 door Sedan since about 1990.  In fact it was my first car and has been my daily driver at various points in my life.  It's lived in my garage as the occasional driver for about 20 years now.  It got pretty seriously neglected for the last several years because I got into motorcycles for a bit, but now it's time to give the old girl some attention again.  It's a pretty rough car, dents, rusted floors and trunk, torn up interior and so on, but I'm gonna try to get it somewhat respectable.  I look forward to having lots of questions for you guys and hopefully having some useful info of my own to share now and then.  Have a great Pontiac day! 

Look forward to seeing and hearing about your restoration progress. Got any of pics of it today? We love pics here  

Sounds like very similar condition to my 65 GP when it was trucked to my place. Yep - lots of talented & knowledgeable peeps here, so ask away. And as Ringo sez - lotsa pics please.

Welcome...

I see that you're in High Point... Not too far from me...

Happy to see another North Carolinian here...

There are a lot of photophiles here....We do love pics...

I'll get some pictures up soon.  I'm currently posting from work and don't have access to any pictures of the car here.  When you see pictures of the car though, you may be reminded of the old saying "be careful what you wish for".  She's no beauty queen to put it politely.

Don't worry, we have all seen our share of "rotten" cars. I've been on Hot Rod Power Tour twice and I do the Woodward Dream Cruise every year. You will not believe the POS that are still on the road for those events! So nothing will surprise us.

We stand ready to answer any questions you might have.

Bring on the pics bro!

Good looking bones there! Looks good. 

Looks like you have some good bones to start with.

Old Pontiac's never die.....they become legends!  

Your car looks about the same as mine was when it was deposited in my driveway. The rear window aperture always seems to rust on these big hardtops and the trunk floor and weatherstrip channel simply weren't there in mine. If the previous owner had simply draped a tarp over the car before parking it and giving up on it, it would have saved me lotsa dollars. Whatever - it's rust free and fully repaired now, but the place where my wallet once was is now a desolate and lonely pocket in my shorts.
