I'd have take them both out for a ride to decide but her in the car would be my choice. Then I'd drop her off and drive the car and come back for a sandwich then drive again.
Love this video. The day after I graduated from high school in 1971, I bought the exact same model that's in this video - except it was a 1963 model. It had a 389 2 barrel and I soon took a four barrel and manifold off a wrecked 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix 389 and bolted it onto my 389. As a 17 year old kid, I thought my wagon was fast. Of course, my 9 passenger Poncho wagon was never as nice as the one in this video. Great memories anyway! It's nearly perfect. That engine is awesome. If that wagon was my car, all I would do is fix the speedometer and add cruise control. Thanks for posting.
Big Muscle 64 Cat wagon!.Something different. Made it his own. Made it safe. Gave it go... I get it. The show has been an inspiration so far for me, thanks Mike. I have the solid bones in my big car, now comes the muscle part!
Very sick Wagon, everyone will have this as a dailydriver.... but the new trash there built, never ever get´s this details and beautifull shaped body´s
That's exactly the car my dad had when we traveled from Fort Bragg NC to Texas when I was a kid! I slept in the back. It was super comfortable and we used to call it the Pontiac Motel lol... I absolutely love it!!! I'd love to find one.. Good memories 🙂
love this episode, I too am an advocate lover of wagon muscle and sleeper cars. Mike you said it all at the end, the key is to put your heart into the build, and when you get out of your ride it "should make you smile". Be unique among the masses. Thanks for all you and the channel does for the car culture.
I had a '66 Safari back in 1973. Bought it off the back line of a used car lot for $50. Over 100,000 miles on it. Lived in it for the summer. The ladies loved it. Rarely slept alone, if you get my drift.
In the 70's when I was growing up our family car was a 1969 Mercury Country Squire station wagon. What a big boat! Thats what I learned to drive on. Glad I did. Every vehicle I've driven since seems manageable.
As soon as Mike mentioned the battlewagon I thought to myself, 'they should do an episode where they put money into the battlewagon!' And then mike even mentioned it at the end... lets BigMuscle the battlewagon
I'm a horrible critic about picking apart paint jobs and I know I'm only looking at a video of this car but the green and the chrome is the most awesome thing I've ever seen and that hood is effing flawless!
Wow this takes me back when I was a kid. I'm a Ford person but when it comes to GM,I love Pontiacs. (GM's experimental/performance division) My parents always had GM cars&that's what made me a Ford lover but I miss wagons. Grew up on a 68 Olds Vista Cruiser with glass roof,71Chrysler Town+Country & a 73 Caprice wagon,gold with fake wood&a 454&it got a whole 5 mpg. LoL Love this video!!!!
I have always love Pontiac wagons. As a kid, my dad had Bonneville wagons. One with a 389 4bbl and the other was a 421 4bbl. Both badass deep blue wagons!
Thanks to Mike for putting such a delightful daily driver together : ) She's a big girl but she's sure pretty ! Oh, and hot too ! : ) More of this great standard please fellas !
LOVE IT! My Dad's first new car was a '64 Pontiac. Unfortunately it was a four door sedan, 6 cylinder, Laurentian (Canadian). But ever since then, I've loved Pontiacs. Love everything about this car. Great job!
AWESOME! I had an 84 LTD also, great car...yep, wood on the sides. It didn't have a 550hp Big Block in it. This guy did a great classy job on that Pontiac. Lovin' it
Beautiful car. When I was 15 with my learners permit my dad had a 64 Catalina 2 door post that I drove. Now he has a 64 convertible and we are currently working on a 64 Catalina hard top for me.
I have had a love of the long roofs since 1959 when Mom and Dad brought home that new 59 Chevy Wagon. Then in the 60's Grandpa come by after school , pick me up in his 56 Chevy Wagon and off we would go to some lake in COLO and fish for the weekend. I have owned several. From a 56 Ford to my current a 94 Buick Roadbeast with a LT1
Great car on a great episode. I really like the clean but mean look. Nothing gaudy, just clean chrome bumpers and wheels. The burnouts are nice, but this car looks good simply going 5 mph through town. The burnouts were just icing on the top.
Great video guys. Nice to see different cars and trucks. Also nothing beats doing a burnout in a old boat with a four barrel definitely in a wagon. I have four cars 1994 BMW 740il, 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 wagon, 1998 Lincoln Mark 8 LSC and my favorite to do huge burnouts is my 1971 Lincoln Mark III. With 500 foot pounds of torque coming from the big block Ford 460 nothing beats it.lol!!
So is drive central just not a thing anymore? are we just not doing that? Well ok, I miss the theme tune. Da dada dadadada .. Da dada dada! Ok seriously bring it back
My Best Buddies dad had this in maroon. I use to love ride my bike over there just to look at the car which was in great shape. I am also a HUGE WAGON guy. My dad had many wagons and I would love to have one again. 1957 Chevy wagon, 1962 Plymouth Fury Wagon, 1968 Ford Country Sedan, 1978 Subaru wagon. 1982 Subaru wagon, 1981 Ford Crown Vic. wagon. Need to get a GM wagon now maybe the clam shell tail gate design. Like a Olds Vista Cruiser wagon would be SWEET
hahaha YESSS!!! lately you guys have been doing lots of shoots in my home canyon. Santiago Canyon FTW!!! awesome road! and one more thing, dont do burn outs when you are going downhill especially if you have no brakes
Love wagons. This car finished out beautifully. So glad the owner saved it. My first car (I was 12) was a huge early 70's? Merc Marqui wagon. Had a 429. Paid $100 for it. We had some fun tearing up the pastures on the farm.
I have always wanted a 1964 Pontiac Lemons station wagon with a 64 GTO frontend and bucket seats with 4-speed and console with tri-power. I should never had sold my 64 GTO even though I was stuck in Endicott, NY with a bad engine and a manager demanding I be back to work in Chicago on Monday morning and it was 6:00 pm Friday. I love Pontiac wagons.
The 18 dislikes are from the people who got taken at a red light by this beast of a wagon.
Tom Nelson definitely knows his way around an engine. Very cool wagon.
I dont know what is hotter, his car or his wife. This guy is winning at life. Nice job.
his car by far
I'd have take them both out for a ride to decide but her in the car would be my choice. Then I'd drop her off and drive the car and come back for a sandwich then drive again.

its nice to see a classic pontiac on this show, let alone a catalina!
oh god, it could be wagons on every episode and id watch them all
Wagon love :)
I'm liking you more and more Mike. I grew up knowing my dad's 1972 Chrysler Town & Country. Love wagons, and love that T&C.
Definitely one of my favorite episodes. So much passion and personalization in this build! The burnouts were also a plus. Very cool. :)
I love big Pontiacs and I love station wagons so, this is the coolest for me. Great video!
I had a 1975 Bonneville coupe and a 76 4 door hardtop...loved them.
If you don't like this wagon, you simply have an issue. This thing is no less then bad ass!! Great job Mike!
Big Muscle 64 Cat wagon!.Something different. Made it his own. Made it safe. Gave it go... I get it.
The show has been an inspiration so far for me, thanks Mike. I have the solid bones in my big car, now comes the muscle part!
This show and roadkill are the best shows on youtube keep doin what your doin guys
Hell yes, Nelson Racing Engines. Good shit man.
The only vehicle bigger than this would be an aircraft carrier. Awesome. Love this car.
This thing seems about the size of an actual PBY Catalina :P
Great video showing the world how much fun is to be had with cars in any form.
Great episode. The cinematography was even better than usual. Really got a sense of the color and size of the car.
OMG make it true, Nelson engine in the battlewagon, that would be the BEST episode. Ever.
Awesome car and awesome episode.
The show just keeps getting better.
Couldn't agree more with your philosophy on burnouts! Amen!
Yeah!😀 That was one Cool wagon! When I was a young boy my parents had a turquoise one. I think the styling was Cool!!😀 A Draggin Wagon!!😀
Dennis light nothing better at the drive-in ! Man I miss those days!
Wow!Such a fine looking, Subtle sleeper of a wagon. Love it!
You are not alone. I have always been a huge wagon (and now SUV and crossover) fan. That is cool watching a station wagon doing a burnout.
Very sick Wagon, everyone will have this as a dailydriver.... but the new trash there built, never ever get´s this details and beautifull shaped body´s
Thank you for this episode. Love the wagon got a few plymouth wagons and love them all. Thank you.
Love wagons... this is one slick car... envious...
That's exactly the car my dad had when we traveled from Fort Bragg NC to Texas when I was a kid!
I slept in the back. It was super comfortable and we used to call it the Pontiac Motel lol... I absolutely love it!!! I'd love to find one..
Good memories 🙂
MAN...just the sound of it...that low rumble. Awesome!
love this episode, I too am an advocate lover of wagon muscle and sleeper cars. Mike you said it all at the end, the key is to put your heart into the build, and when you get out of your ride it "should make you smile". Be unique among the masses. Thanks for all you and the channel does for the car culture.
James Hutch ever 0
Thank you again. I have been preaching that SIVs are just the current version of the station wagon for as long as they have been making SUVs.
Amazingly beautiful wagon!!
This is the best car so far this season. Never thought I would see a wagon like a Catalina on here. Thanks for another great episode!
This wagon is perfect! Love everything about it. great interior & exterior color choice. love the green interior.
Thanks for the memories, my first car was a 64 Bonneville wagon oh yes battle wagon indeed!
I had a '66 Safari back in 1973. Bought it off the back line of a used car lot for $50. Over 100,000 miles on it. Lived in it for the summer. The ladies loved it. Rarely slept alone, if you get my drift.
Great car and story of yours. The $50 was well worth it and the great memories 👍
04.04.19 - Love your beast and wow that exhaust, we still have a station-wagon and have never considered any other type of vehicle.
In the 70's when I was growing up our family car was a 1969 Mercury Country Squire station wagon. What a big boat! Thats what I learned to drive on. Glad I did. Every vehicle I've driven since seems manageable.
this is a beautiful car. great sound too.
As soon as Mike mentioned the battlewagon I thought to myself, 'they should do an episode where they put money into the battlewagon!' And then mike even mentioned it at the end... lets BigMuscle the battlewagon
I'm a horrible critic about picking apart paint jobs and I know I'm only looking at a video of this car but the green and the chrome is the most awesome thing I've ever seen and that hood is effing flawless!
That is one gorgeous wagon!
My father-in-law had one of these back in the 80's. Always thought of it as a big old POS, it was enormous. Wish I had it now.
Wow this takes me back when I was a kid. I'm a Ford person but when it comes to GM,I love Pontiacs. (GM's experimental/performance division) My parents always had GM cars&that's what made me a Ford lover but I miss wagons. Grew up on a 68 Olds Vista Cruiser with glass roof,71Chrysler Town+Country & a 73 Caprice wagon,gold with fake wood&a 454&it got a whole 5 mpg. LoL Love this video!!!!
You have some great cars on your show..LONG LIVE THE BURNOUTS
Absolutely beautiful Pontiac. Well done.
I have always love Pontiac wagons. As a kid, my dad had Bonneville wagons. One with a 389 4bbl and the other was a 421 4bbl. Both badass deep blue wagons!
These old Station wagons make very cool parts haulers when all tricked out.
Love wagons and love that color! I have a '72 Ford Country Squire I hope to fix up someday.
The best motoring show EVER!! I wish Mike Musto was still churning and burning them out . .
she is GORGEOUS !
That's great, "Let's try another Burnout." I love it!
Thanks to Mike for putting such a delightful daily driver together : ) She's a big girl but she's sure pretty ! Oh, and hot too ! : )
More of this great standard please fellas !
I imagine this will be a repeated style of comment.
But. My God what a beautifully restored Pontiac. That guy has a keeper for life and rightfully so.
(just don't tell him I'm gonna steal it in the morning, shhh!)
That is one SWEEET ride, it sounds as good as it looks too!
My new favorite big muscle episode
LOVE IT! My Dad's first new car was a '64 Pontiac. Unfortunately it was a four door sedan, 6 cylinder, Laurentian (Canadian). But ever since then, I've loved Pontiacs. Love everything about this car. Great job!
Love this car! I've always loved station wagons, too!!!
I liked this before watching solely by the description.. then watched it and wished there was a double like!
Had a couple of big wagons 1978 Caprice and 1984 Country Squire, both with the "wood" side panels. Good episode.
:)
AWESOME! I had an 84 LTD also, great car...yep, wood on the sides. It didn't have a 550hp Big Block in it.
This guy did a great classy job on that Pontiac. Lovin' it
yep!
Beautiful car. When I was 15 with my learners permit my dad had a 64 Catalina 2 door post that I drove. Now he has a 64 convertible and we are currently working on a 64 Catalina hard top for me.
Lol "Lets do another burn out" *burn out* here looks good lets do another burnout,
Great video guys
If i didn't had to pay for rear tyres, i would do burn outs all day long...
Why so many episodes of Big Muscle got lost? Miss that show a lot ... House of Muscle was starting getting good ... but seems it died too 🥺
I used to love these Big Muscle videos.
I NEED this wagon in my life!!
Awesome, more wagons on Big Muscle and /DRIVE in general please!
I have had a love of the long roofs since 1959 when Mom and Dad brought home that new 59 Chevy Wagon.

Wow! That baby shifts for a Safari Station Wagon. Good restoration - it was a right scrap heap when he bought it.
Great car on a great episode. I really like the clean but mean look. Nothing gaudy, just clean chrome bumpers and wheels. The burnouts are nice, but this car looks good simply going 5 mph through town. The burnouts were just icing on the top.

Great film, guys, and I really like that location. I used those roads for some recent films as well.
Gorgeous car

I love wagons! Wish my 79' LTD Wagon once looks so awsome like this!
Nothing beats a Nelson Racing motor.
this is an awesome car and I can appreciate the owner wanting to do burnout after burnout lol
I have a 63 chevy lowrider wagon an I just love em all cool show man keep up the good work
hahaha YESSS!!! lately you guys have been doing lots of shoots in my home canyon. Santiago Canyon FTW!!! awesome road! and one more thing, dont do burn outs when you are going downhill especially if you have no brakes

Nelson Racing Engines make some crazy crazy engines.
My Dad had a '64 Bonney 'vert. I miss them both so much.
I am 59 and loved riding in my friend's family's giant wagons especially those last folding seats facing backwards. Upgrade the breaks.
Dear sir, Mike musto is a good man. The UK would like to adopt him as their own. That is all
Does anyone else read the description in Mike's voice in their head?
that colour is just ....WOW
This thing looks bad ass! Awesome built Man!
I have always wanted a 1964 Pontiac Lemons station wagon with a 64 GTO frontend and bucket seats with 4-speed and console with tri-power. I should never had sold my 64 GTO even though I was stuck in Endicott, NY with a bad engine and a manager demanding I be back to work in Chicago on Monday morning and it was 6:00 pm Friday. I love Pontiac wagons.
My Mom had a brown 64 Impala wagon. Yeah, I had an awesome childhood
Absolutely beautiful car. Love cars like this
I love those classic stylish station wagons.
The Nova episode is my favorite too. And he is right, it has the best beginning of all of them.
Great job, that Poncho is bad ass.
I love estates and this one is phantasmal!
Omg I love pontiacs! So what to say about a beautiful pontiac wagon! Car is awsome!
Now that´s a car! congrats for that beauty.
Coolest wagon I've seen in a while
Clicked Like before the episode started. I was not wrong
I love it. "No burnouts in the school zone. Not even for the kids."
bloopers at the end killed me lol
Beautiful
