Dawn Leo's 1963 Catalina

Year: 1963; Model: Catalina 4-door; Color: Silver Mist; Engine: 389 (74k ORIGINAL Miles); Interior color: Tri-Color Blue.

Usage: grocery getter (2 carseats in the back)

Year acquired: 2000 (from original owner)

Restoration efforts or plans: Everything is EXCELLENT, but will be replacing the carpeting.

This car was from California, original everything but the "Slim Jim" transmission which was replaced with another "Slim Jim." Seat belts were also installed in the back seats. The only rust on the whole car is on the driver's side fender. It must have been nicked by a rock at one time (only the size of a pea). We got the rust off, and it has touch-up paint there. We will NEVER drive this car on salty streets in the winter!
