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 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

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. :)
