1964 Pontiac Catalina

Very rare to find a bone yard that doesn't crush all the older stuff. I loved back in the early 80s just wandering around in one just looking and admiring what they used to be like in their prime. Just always keep an eye out for wasp nests and poison ivy. lol

My morning ritual,.. coffee and the latest uploads of Junkyard Crawl!! Anyways,.. Personally i like the Pontiac styling best of all from the GM line-up. Thank you Steve for another great upload!!

My father had a 62’ Catalina SD 421 Aluminum front end. His favorite and fastest car he ever owned.

Incredible how complete and original that is. Someone please save it. I have too many projects!

I remember in the 80's when these cars were just tossed away when they needed any significant work. Nobody restored them. Now they're super cool.

Loving this show all the way from Tasmania 🦘❤️

I bought a ‘64 Cat 2+2 in 1975 from the original owner. 389 tri-power auto, white on white. He’d put a roller set up in it with headers. Very prompt for a big car.

I appreciate the effort Steve puts into these videos. He obviously researches and brings documentation with him. I think they're great!

Although I'm a Mopar guy I searched for years for a 63 2dHT Catalina. It turned to be next to impossible to find one reasonably so I settled for a 64 Catalina Ventura. Great cars!

Steve, I am keeping the Pontiac dream alive with my 2005 Vibe. 😁

Loved the very rare 421 Super Duty Pontiacs of 63 & 64. Part of go fast history.

My big brother drove one of these around for years and years. Thanks for bringing back some very fond memories.

Back in '64, my neighbor ordered a Catalina 2 + 2, dark blue with a blue interior, 389 2-barrel, 267 HP with a 3.36 axle and 4-speed. He originally was going to order the 421 but thought better of it when he found out what his insurance rate would be. This car would scream and still get good gas mileage.

Great car. I have 5 64 Pontiac b bodies here in Phoenix. Thanks Steve I like seeing the Pontiacs featured

First car I remember our family owning growing up was a 1964 Catalina. I still remember the red Indian head, bright headlight indicator. It burned Ethyl gas, was 4 door, bench seat, ac, power steering/brakes, automatic trans. About 1970, it rolled over 100,000 and I helped my dad overhaul it. I think he sold it in 1974.

In high school (1984) had 1964 Grand Prix, 8 lug wheels & a big vacuum gauge on console, my friends thought it was a Tach

Fully loaded if you had the money for the options you would get: A/C, PW, locks, trunk release, 8 lugs, P seat, etc. But the big one was a 376 horse 421 H.O. 4 spd. Remember folks that back in the day a car like this even with an option a little less than one hundred dollars was the equivalency of one car payment. Compare that to today. A single option is 500 to 800 dollars now. A/C back then was 400 or more dollars. There go 4 car payments. That is why a lot of these cars back then were not fully loaded and most didn't have air conditioning. Thank you, Steve. Love your knowledge and the videos.

Steve is the hardest working man on Youtube.

Always a treat to see a new video from you. This is like trickle-learning about vintage cars. I was a young child when cars like this were new so I didn't notice them that much - my first car I recognized was the Mustang! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep the videos coming!

Had a '59 Starchief with the 389 base engine and hydramatic. Was strong and dependable.
