Lol ya the head liner is about the only part of the interior that is intact.. But for sitting for 35 years under a tree in irrigation with a hole in the front window and no back window.. i think it could be worse...The car was bought in 1974 and never left that place.. And the only reason the guy bought it was for the engine and in 1974 he paid $125 for it.

It'* going to be a long job. As I said, please document it here, we love to see projects. And the classic cars is something we don't have a lot of here.

A good move on the sponsoring. I got half off the quoted price for my paint, and alot of labor for the air suspension or other items because the GXP is a bit unique and I agreed to pay my way to Custom Car Events and allow the car to be shown at their Company'* Vendors Area. Even got a few Awards and a lot of cool memories along the way. Awesomeness drips from that Catalina. But I'm biased having had a '64 2dr in High School.
