1962 Pontiac Catalina Hotrod Cruiser
1962 Pontiac Catalina Hotrod
Here is the scoop: 1962 pontiac Catalina sedan coupe, base Catalina. 1972 Pontiac 400 Ram air manifolds Power steering Manual disc brakes/rear drums Jegs full dual exhaust kit Aluminum radiator Mini starter, new battery last year Edelbrock carb with regulator, quadrajet to go with it potentially. New water pump and timing chain. New plugs, wires etc New heater core (heater blower not working though) New fuel tank and sender. T56 swap: 1998 t56 swap with adapter plate. All mechanical linkage still, custom tunnel for transmission that’s a bolt in. 4:10 gears, non posi swap. New outer axle bearings during swap as well. New brake shoes in back, drums turned. New shocks and springs in back with rear adjustable upper control arms to correct pinion angle. Disc brake conversion up front- all new parts- master, prop valve, lines up front, etc All updated front suspension- springs, sway bar links, shocks, all bushings, etc Alignment done post everything. 17” rims with great tread all around Floor has been cleaned up and painted, it’s pretty good for a 62. Patch made to right corner under the passenger corner. The trunk Would need done and has a few soft spots, for the person who cares. Seats front and back are in good condition for a 62. I added some bolstering to the front lowers. Headliner and dash are not great but I personally like the patina. Here is the full disclosure on the car: Ebrake is not hooked up but parts are present. Has some bondo Not perfect paint or body but looks good. It’s enamel for sure and looks old. But, it looks ok and very cool- I have taken it to car shows. It is not anywhere near a show car! Frame is not great but functional. Has a patch I welded in as I found a soft spot in frame. The trunk mount needs replaced on passenger side Again, it has some rust. Needs carpet.($185) Needs kick panels (:$30) Needs driveshaft lengthened 1” (~$100) Needs trans crossmember rubber mounts ($30) Needs speedometer figured out for t56 Mechanically runs good. I have put roughly 1500 miles on the car or so since I got it. With aluminum radiator runs at 180 on hot days. Brake pedal is firm and brakes work exceptional. It needs the drive shaft lengthened 1” as it has a small vibration occasionally. It needs addressed. Car runs, starts and can be test driven. Just took it around the block and runs and stops great. Very comfy cool cruiser. All lights/brights/blinkers/interior/dome lights work. Have a relay upgrade kit for headlights that goes with it. Have the original 5x5 wheels that go with it but will likely not fit the disc brake conversion. Currently have wheel adapters to get the 5 spokes on it. Selling the car because we have a boat which is something whole family can do. Plus, I am back to college at almost 40yrs old. Simply no time for the car and everything else. Clean title Car is badass. Asking $9500 Or best offer. Pics and video available upon request. Joel 614-579-3913 |
