Hello, new member here but long time Pontiac lover. My first car at 12 years old was a '64 Catalina 389 2bbl car but I always dreamed of a 3 pedal car. Well, about a week ago I finally talked an old man out of his '64 421 3x2 4 speed black on black 2+2 Catalina and I still cannot believe it. The car is a project as all of them I have start out, but too rare to pass up. The car is a rare one with TI ignition full gauge package no power steering or brakes. It is however still sitting on 8 lug wheels. I cannot wait to learn more and more about this car and to meet fellow Pontiac people here that share the love of these cars. I will post some pics this evening.....

That sounds like quite the find. If it is all original equipment, it is very rare. But if not, still a heck of a performance Pontiac.

Are you uncertain of the 8-lugs? There is a company in the Chicago area that rebuilds 8-lugs if needed.

Look forward to some pictures.

My pictures are too large, working on getting them loaded. Got the car running last night first time since 1991. It is running on a 400 cuin and the 421 is on a stand ready to be torn down. Today I drop the gas tank and get the wheels off to see what we are working with. It has vintage wheel locks that actually require a regular type of key. My technician friend says he has not seen them in well over 20 years.

Sounds like you're on you're way making progress already. Hope all goes well.

As for the wheel locks, they can be a problem down the road when the keys are long lost. Move carefully, you don't want to damage the 8-lugss.

Good luck!
