1963 Bonneville Limo
#12
The total length of the car is 245 and 7/8 inches according to Superior.
I just ripped all the carpet and padding up today.. After work tomarrow I"m going to remove the door panels and rear air conditioning.

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.

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.
