1960 Pontiac Catalina, 2 door, hardtop, PS, PB Back story and reason it’s for sale… Purchased this car as a driver, I picked it up off of ebay 2.5 years ago, I wasn’t excited about the driveline and made some big changes to make it more what I wanted. Put it on the dyno the first year out with factory intake and 63mm throttle body, and put 420 hp to the rear wheels with a conservative tune and a bad cam sensor, since then changed a lot of pieces, car is noticeably faster and has tons more power (guessing 475-500 at the wheels now) but haven’t been back to the dyno since). Changed front and rear window gaskets and to that the dash had to come out (fun fun) that’s what started the redo of the interior and the freshly painted roof. All in all a great car, fun to drive, dependable, and fast, but I’ve got my eyes on another one now so it’s time for this one to go. What it looks like (exterior)… Baby blue (8-10 years old, showing wear has some nicks chips etc but good driver quality) with freshly painted roof (Bright white with mild diamond ice pearl), Deleted wiper holes in cowl panel. What you’re sitting in (interior)… White/blue seats and door panels, Billet steering wheel/ and adapter, fresh carpet, new kick panels with speakers, cd player with auxiliary input, all interior metalwork custom painted bright white with a mild diamond ice pearl., one of the previous owners had installed an amp gauge in the dash and I thought it looked tacky so I replaced it with a white faced autometer clock. Done in 2014 What it rolls on (rims) … rear 20x8.5 front 18x8 Chrome Boss 338. All lug nuts switched to standard instead of half being LH threads. New 2014 What makes it go (driveline)… 90,000 mile, 2001, LS1, 5.3, Lingenfelter Z06 LS2 cam, beehive valve springs, 70mm turbo, waste gate set at 11# boost, functioning blow off valve, stainless F body hot-side turbo exhaust converted to cold side, f body water pump, billet power steering relocation bracket, alternator relocation bracket, polished aluminum LS2 intake, polished aluminum 96mm LS2 throttle body, Modified GTO engine covers hydro-dipped in silver carbon fiber over bright white paint, Aluminum Fuel rails, remote oil filter, remote oil cooler, fuel pressure regulator with return, large aluminum radiator frenched into core support with dual electric fans (controlled by computer temperature sensor on at 160 degrees), large intercooler between grill and radiator plumbed with all polished aluminum tubing, chrome 200 amp alternator, twin Batteries mounted in trunk behind right side panel (run parallel still 12 volts, just more of it), 3” stainless Exhaust (dumps under rear passengers area with turn down), 4L80 Transmission with Jegs 3600-4000 Stall convertor, Automatic linkage modified to work from stock column shifter, All AN fuel system (10AN feed, 6AN return) All AN Oil Lines, Aeromotive A1000 Fuel Pump with Aeromotive Check Valve and 10AN Inline Filter, Sumped 1960 Chevrolet fuel tank, Ron Francis Wiring kit for Lights etc. Doesn’t overheat, and doesn’t leak a drop of anything. Pump gas premium Fuel only. All work done 2013/2014 What Makes it Stop (brakes)… 4 wheel power disc with Wilwood proportioning valve, Scarebird front brake conversion, Bonneville wagon 12” rotors in front, 11.75” drilled rotors in rear, gm metric calipers in rear, all 1/4 ” brake lines. New 2013/2014 How you know what it’s doing (gauges/engine management)… Autometer liquid filled oil pressure gauge (lower left of steering wheel), Autometer boost gauge, PLX engine management gauge (reads everything the computer does), Autometer Wideband gauge (center lower), Autometer tach (mounted to column), LS1 Computer Custom Tuned. New 2013/2014 What holds it up (suspension)… Stock trailing arms and control arms, independent 4 corner air ride, 1/2 inch lines, dumps limited to drop more slowly, air zenith compressor, 3.5 gallon air tank, 1/2 ” fast valves with 3/8” ports, 2500# bags, front shocks relocated, rear shock in standard placement, factory rear end welded spool 4:88 gears (run about 70mph at 2900 rpm on the freeway). upgraded 2013/2014 Things people don’t Like (cons)… Fuel gauge says you’re empty before you actually are ( I consider that a good thing), blinkers do what they want when you try to use them (connectors at column are to blame I believe, I just arm signal), NO neutral safety switch (you could install one fairly easily if you cared to), minor exhaust leak at driver header gasket and at (1) of the v-band clamps on drivers side until it warms up then it quiets right down (just haven’t had time nor concern to fix it since it isn’t effecting anything) I do not need help selling my car so please don't contact me if you aren't buying the car yourself. :) $1000 deposit due within 24 hours of auction end, will help load onto your transport but you are responsible for transport or shipping/pick up. |

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
