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. :)

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package

Sun, Dec 22 2019

Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

Porsche Syberia RS rally car is what you make when you need a Hummer that's fast

Fri, Apr 24 2020

Some history: The Porsche 911's first-ever race was the 1965 Monte Carlo rally, entered because Porsche's PR man at the time wanted to show how much the future icon could do. A year later, Porsche began selling an optional rally kit for the 911 that included Recaro seats, a roll bar, and adjustable Koni dampers. Porsche produced factory rally racers until the early 1970s, winning Monte Carlo three times in a row before letting privateers carry the torch so the factory could focus on campaigning in the East Africa Safari. After years of painful lessons, when Porsche took its brand-new 1978 911 SC to the safari, the 3.0-liter flat-six coupe was hours away from winning the race before damaging the suspension, demoting the car to second place. Porsche fans wanted their own replicas, and finding the new 911 to be an affordable option, the SC — built from 1978 to 1983 — went from denoting "Super Carrera" to "Safari Car."   Porsche took a big step up in with the 953 rally car. Built to win the 1984 Paris-Dakar, which it did, the 953 introduced the four-wheel-drive system Porsche would evolve for the 959 in 1985 and the 964-series 911 in 1989, as well as the now-unforgettable 911-based Rothmans livery. All of this is what's fueling today's 911 Safari Car revival around the world. Almost all of today's builds start with the so-called G Model 911s, produced from 1973 to 1989, usually focusing on the SC and the Carrera that ran from 1984 until 1989.  Fast forward to 2007 when a mysterious crew organized the TransSyberia Rally, a "sports-touring" event that stretched 4,500 miles from Moscow to the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. Of the 34 vehicles that entered, 25 were Porsche's purpose-built Cayenne S Transsyberia Edition.  Put this all in a pot and you have the beginnings of the car that brings us here, the Syberia RS. It's said that a German fellow by the name of Kai Burkhard wanted to buy a Humvee, but the low top speed, around 50 miles per hour, put him off. So instead, he imported a 1986 911 "in collector condition" from Japan with the idea of rebuilding it to provide almost all the off-road fun he could have had in the H1. Burkhard tapped the Tailor Made department at German suspension designer H&R, and the two set to work creating a build like the 953 Dakar winner.  This content is hosted by a third party.
