I purchased this Catalina from a friends widow. This car is a garage find, it has sat for many years in California where my friends uncle bought the car new. My friend brought the car to New Mexico after his uncle passed away. My friend passed away 2 years ago. His widow asked me if I was interested in the car, so I purchased about 1 month ago and trailered it from New Mexico to Arizona.
The last service sticker on the door jam is from California. It is date 3/18/2005. They installed new tires, oil change, flushed the radiator and checked the brakes. The miles read 5306. When I loaded the car up it showed 7911 miles, 2600 miles in 18 years which includes the 1000 mile drive from Livermore CA to Albuquerque NM in 2006.
I joined the forum to maybe help me to find parts. The car is all original, paint, interior is like new. What I will need help with is finding maintenance items like tires and wiper blade refills.
Thanks
