Stumbled across an ad for my first car for sale nearby (1964 Pontiac Catalina 389 V8)

By chance yesterday I happened to stumble across an ad for my first car. A very non-eco 1964 Pontiac Catalina 4 door land yacht (389 V8 auto) that was already an antique when I bought it to fix up when I was 15.

It's the actual car, not just one like it.



(But this isn't the actual car)


I was tempted to go look at it (the phone number is somewhere in the area), but I need another vehicle like I need a hole in my head.

If I did need another hole in my head, I think it would be fun to do something Linc-Voltish to it.

But I'm not getting it! Seriously.
