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. |

Build your dream garage with this insane prize from Omaze
Wed, Jan 19 2022Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it. There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it. Except maybe your spouse. Here are our favorite vehicle giveaways we’ve found online this week: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition - Enter at Omaze Regardless of what you think about Ford using the name Mustang for an electric crossover, one thing is for certain, the Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive piece of machinery. Here are some numbers for you: 480 horsepower, 634 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and 260 miles of range. Price? Well, thatÂ’s really up to you, because if you enter to win this Mach-E GT. it can be as low as $0. Here are the specs of the Mach-E in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: fully electric motors Drivetrain: eAWD Exterior Color: Rapid Red Metallic  Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 480 hp Maximum Torque: 634 lb-ft Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.5 seconds Range: 235 miles Approximate Retail Value: $75,500 Cash Alt: $56,625 Special Features: GT Performance Edition; panoramic fixed-glass roof; Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 and 360-degree camera; Brembo brakes; RTR Design Package including 20” RTR Aero 5 wheels, Nitto NT555 G2 tires and RTR Speed Block graphics Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Joel Stocksdale, News Editor: There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod.
Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ
Sat, Mar 4 2023A couple of years before John DeLorean and his team at the Pontiac Division created the GTO by pasting a big engine and some gingerbread on the LeMans, they created a rakish, powerful coupe based on the staid full-size Catalina. This was the 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, which sold like crazy and escalated the personal luxury coupe war already brewing in Detroit. Starting with the 1969 model year, the Grand Prix switched to a smaller chassis (shared the following year with the new Chevrolet Monte Carlo), and all subsequent rear-wheel-drive Grand Prix (that is, through 1987) remained siblings of the Monte. Today's Junkyard Gem is a rare 1980 Grand Prix LJ, found in a self-service yard near Reno, Nevada. Sure, a fresh round of Middle East conflict had put a kink in America's fuel hose in 1979, leading to gas lines and a general sense of malaise, but at least the new Grand Prix looked extra sharp for 1980. The LJ package came with all sorts of appearance and comfort goodies, including these "luxury seats with loose-pillow design in New Florentine Cloth." A Pontiac Phoenix LJ was available as well. These seats must have been very comfortable when new. Who needed a Cadillac when Pontiac would sell you this car at a base MSRP of just $7,000 (about $26,704 in 2023 dollars)? That price was what you paid if you were willing to get the base 3.8-liter Buick V6, though. To get a V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor, you had to pay extra. If you did pay the extra for a V8, which one you got depended on which state you lived in; in California, you got this 305-cubic-inch (5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block), and in the other 49 states you got a 301-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) Pontiac. The 305 was rated at 150 horsepower with 230 pound-feet; the 301 made 140hp and 240 lb-ft. This car was originally bought in California (the state line is about ten miles away from its final parking spot), so it has the Chevy engine. The V8 added $195 (plus $250 for the California-only emissions system) to the out-the-door price of the car, or about $1,316 in 2023 dollars. Outside of California, a 4.3-liter Chevy V6 was available for just 80 additional bucks ($305 now). All 1980 Grand Prix got a three-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment, with no manual available from the factory. This car has the optional air conditioning, which cost $601 ($2,293 after inflation). This is the "Custom Sport" steering wheel, which was standard on the LJ. The tilt option cost $81 ($309 today).
