Water pump went at 65000 miles. Spent 40$ on used front and rear seats from a scrap yard. Replaced muffler, tires and brakes.
It's a big ugly car. I really enjoy driving it. It handles very well and has gobs of power.
I've got a Catalina just like yours, but it has a 400. It's a pretty phat car! I know how you feel.
Will a 67 gas tank fit a 68?
