I had to let the Chris Craft go unfortunately, but I ended up with another project. Its a very solid 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix. 389 4v 330hp. Runs and drives even. Needs paint and interior but it is such a cool looking car. It was originally Aqua with a white top but thinking she may have to go all black. My great grandma had one of these and she had quite a few stories about my great grandpa bringing that beast home.

Those are Really cool cars and have used the 389's and 400 engines too. In fact, that is what is in my old 1962 Chev 4x4 suburban.
Fun to drive too ;-)Helmar Joe Johanesen

I think that last picture of her in aqua looks pretty sweet too. And to match the boat, real head turner there for sure.Helmar Joe Johanesen

Any deep, dark color has very little forgiveness when it comes to base prep.. The body has to be near perfect cause you see every imperfection once the paint is on... I agree it looks darn nice in black, but I am a bigger fan of the matched package!!Brian Flaherty
