1969 Catalina Convertible 1 of 5400 (not a for sale add)
And I just sold it. She was incredible. Here is some info about her for those of you who are petrol heads and understand this boat.
I drove this car for 32 miles in total. The engine rebuild was done at only 26476. Now it is at 26626 miles.
It hasn't even had it's first oil change (200 mile mark) in its first breath with a new heart. And I am about to sell it.
Kinda getting attached to this turd. So many receipts, so much recent work, so much potential.

-"400ci V8 Engine paired to a 3 speed auto(turbo400); Engine has been freshly rebuilt and has almost 5k in receipts to prove it.
Body has sat outside on a driveway for the past 30 years but is in good shape, considering. The frame for being 46 years old is in great shape. It seems it just needs paint, wheels, and suspension ttake her on the road again.
The engine is fresh and I am still getting used to the car, but it still needs to be tuned and broken in. Needs new suspension and gas tank straps but honestly, is a great project car to spruce up.
I have 3 project cars now including this one and I simply Don't want that. I'd like to sell sell this car and use it to fund my other two projects.
I just put a new battery in and the electrics work quite well, AC even gives a little spritz. Interior is truly in great condition and the engine is beautifully almost new.
The body has 26k on it and 4 years and could use some tlc. I will be doing some work on this car in the meantime while it is up for sale, but truth be told, I just would like to see it into a new home.
Convertible top goes up and down, windows are manual and go up and down.
The car has recently had it's fuel lines done and new brake lines put in. (From rotors; Rr drums)
Come check it out!
$4500 Obo and price will rise as I put work into it.
I have about 5k or so in receipts for recent work done, and let me tell you, even with scrap at it's lowest, this car could be parted out for a profit. I just would rather dedicate time to my other cars and see this into a new home."

It always bothers me to see nice "collector" car's and stuff not being used. 26K miles on it....Things are meant to be used. Sure, preserve your stuff and keep it nice. But your life is only 80 or so years. When you spend 40 of that not using and just polishing something instead of enjoying it. What was the point? Things dont last forever no matter how nice you keep them. Rev that bitch up and take it for a spin!
wooo w y love car!
