APRIL 2010
My love of 64 Safaris is well documented. I've owned several and restored 2 over the last 10 years. The most recent love of my life was sent to Alberta Canada a short while ago. My third child arrived a little early and we had some mounting bills that needed to be addressed so away she went. Not only was it a shame that I had to sell it, but it was even crazier that I was the "8 lug drum guy" but drove a 75 Bonneville everyday with Rally IIs and was restoring both a 69 and a 70 Grand Prix! Not a single one of my current Pontiacs wore 8 lugs!
Chris LaCasse out in Sacramento CA helped me solve that dilemma. I've just made arrangements to bring this kinda sparse and very well-worn 65 Catalina Safari back to Chicago for a rebirth. It's a special order 389 4bbl AC car with power rear window and a 2:73 Saf-T-Track rear end. It's not here yet, and I have to wrap up my GP projects first, but it looks like my missing 8 lug vehicle has been found. Thank you Chris!!!
