My Dad had a burgundy colored 67 Catalina Executive which he sold me as my first car. As I lived in Minnesota it got pretty rusty but always loved that car!
Gotta love the styling Pontiac had back then. Stacked headlights and that sweeping fastback roofline. I was getting gas one day and an older gentleman walked over and said “man this one bad ride ! It looks like its going fast, while its sitting still”. I thought that was so fitting. Thanks for checking out the vid 👍🏾
@@onjunk4life yeah your Dad sounds like he was a cool dude! I always loved that distinct nose with the slightly canted front fenders and that bib fastback rear end. Nice job on the video too. It took me back!
This is a incredible bit of history brother. One day I will find a 70 El Camino 454 SS. Great video brother looking forward to watching your progress 👍. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Awesome car! Just to let you know they produced 1,768 in 1967. 280 were convertibles. One thing you might find interesting with the fathom blue you're restoring is that it is one of 397 automatic coupes with ac. And one thing that you're probably going to find funny is once I saw the Tyrol Blue car in the pic with the spinners and date stamp I immediately remembered it from PY. Merry Christmas Darrell! Will be looking forward to many more videos! Best regards, Dave
Wholly Cow, I remember you Dave !!! Hope you and your Family are well. You obviously have the knowledge on these bad boys so thanks for the clarification on numbers. Wow, i never knew the brake down…. Thats awesome. Would love to catch up and see what cool Poncho’s you have right now. Im sure you have added a few more 😉👍🏾👍
@@onjunk4life I was up to 6 2+2s 🤣4 hardtops and 2 convertibles. I ended up parting out one of the convertibles and one of the hardtops. Sold a column shift ac car to a guy in Iowa that was a huge project. I actually have a guy coming tomorrow to buy one of the other hardtops. I've also got a couple Bonneville Broughams. One is a coupe with a 428 and the other is 4 door 50k original miles. I'll be listing that 4 door for sale soon. I've also got a 67 Grand Prix convertible 428 car that I'll be selling in the spring. I am buying another 2+2 that I need to pick up yet. I have a handful of parts cars to that I need to part out. I've accumulated too much stuff and need to downsize! Hahaa!!
Thanks Hot Rod and thanks for checking it out ! That light blue one in video with the cragars was a Catalina I did just to be able to pick Dad up from the nursing home while this one was off to paint. It eventually got sold. The wife told me afterwards…That one was her favorite, go figure🤦♂️ LOL.
Thanks Unk ! Its awesome having you around to fill in the blanks and tell stories of Dads car (Your Brother) from the purchase, to him bringing it home and the many different set ups he had like the 3 deuce you told me about. The stories about him hanging out at Dynamic Auto (Dan) out in Delmar Ny and Dan putting factory experimental cams and intakes on for Dad to try out on the streets …. Legendary 👍🏾 God willing I will have her done very soon and you and I will take that ride for Dad aka Georgio !
Thing was it didn't take many options to get the price to over $5000 where the GTO was far cheaper with options. Those came out in '64 & ended in '67. I had a '65 in '67, 421 HO, 4-speed.
Thanks for watching. Its probably been close to a year since I took her down the road. Its been started and moved from garage regularly. Radiator is currently out being repaired at the moment but she’s a runner. Ironically thats what motivated me to get back on her and finish her up. Me too, I love full size sleepers 👍🏾👍
@@onjunk4life Can't wait to see your 2+2 finished with those beautiful 8 lug wheels. I'm in my late 60s now I grew up with these cars. It's so important that they survive especially one's like yours. It's really special because they only made 1700 of them, but what really makes yours extra special is because your dad bought it new.
Absolutely and agreed ! Hopefully ill be able to retire one day and save the Tyrol blue one i have. Its in the pic towards the end of video. Im a certified car nut ! 😂
Mannn that thing is incredible ! I like stock but totally appreciate the blend of technology, classic looks and drivability. They did an awesome job on that 66. Most folks confuse the 65/66 with 67 and don’t know that the 67 was a 1 year only body style. Thanks for the link and checking mine out 👍🏾👍
Love it! my grandfather got me into the Pontiac cars!
Thanks, thats awesome. All about those memories man. I appreciate U checking it out 👍🏾👍
Your dad is awesome! God Bless!
He sure was, Thank You. Appreciate you watching the video. Happy Holidays👍🏾

I don't know if I knew you had this... what ever happened to the light blue/silver one? You dad had great taste in rides just like you 😎

@@darrellepickering8433 Very true statement and good insight ! 👍🏾
Actually have a 68 date coded 428 poncho w/th400#matching stuff and just looking and waiting for the right thing to throw in to!
Thats a nice set up. Hang in there, Im sure the right one will come along. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Thanks to all the guys and military veterans watching,my brothers, love the old Pontiac cars! Great hp & torque
@@ronaldjones3108 Thanks for your service. I spent several years in LE and give a shout out to all those keeping us safe and enjoy the cars as well.
How long has it been since it was last driven? Gotta love those full size original MUSCLE CARS!
