Bought it out of an old closed wrecking yard, in Texas! that was being cleaned out to sell the property. it was about 80 % complete! last licensed in 1975! lived it's whole life in central Tx. Had a Border decal on the w/s and a high school parking permit. Think might have belonged to a teacher DNFS! A few engine parts were missing i-e valve covers, Air cleaner, fan and pulleys, left 1/4 window and upper side trim, taillights and trunk trim! had some minor damage to the R F corner! Have all the original a/c just didn't put it on when I restored the car! Replaced all of the interior with original door panels, buckets. Lost all my extra pics. when comp. crashed !

I sure like the wheels on your car. Whoever gets it, if you sell it, will get a nice ride.

Nice. By your signature, I'm assuming you have owned a Tin Indian in your past?

This isn't my car. I came across it at the same classic car yard as the 63 I shared in the "63 Only" thread.
Looks very complete and solid.

Cool. The only GM car I owned, to resell for more, was a 61 Catalina. The owner of it bought it new with his boss, owner of the dealership, then ordered and installed the parts from the Super Duty list. 389 3x2bbl, #11 Keller cam, BW 3spd, 4.66's in the rear, 8 qt pan, aluminum bumpers etc. They flat towed it to the area tracks. Had 1150 miles on it when I bought it. Garaged since mid 60's, started every month. Open the doors and you could still smell the interior. Bought it in 87 when the stock market crashed. Sold it 6 months later to a collector broker. Made 8g on it. A freind at the time had his own version of what MOPAR meant. His was: move over, Pontiac approaching rapidly.

Sorry, I’m a little to the thread but I couldn’t agree more!
I grew up working on my uncle's and it only took me 35 years but I finally got my own convertible. 426 Street Wedge with a 727 that spent the last 30 years in a private museum.

I think that’s only the second time I’ve ever seen a 426 Street Wedge car with the correct exhaust heat shield on it. That’s a pretty amazing car.
what heat shield.......my 426 looks exactly like this one and I do not see what you are talking about?
