Vehicle Description
There's something special about a Wide Track Pontiac. A mixture of
big chrome, intricate bodywork, and an imposing stance made them
boulevard kings. So when a 1960 Pontiac Catalina has been restored
to be sleek and mean - and it has a huge 502 performance V8 to back
it all up - it's time to take notice of this midnight rider.
Just imagine the looks you're going to get in this coupe. It's from
the era when Pontiac was out to own the road with its size. And
that gets amplified by a serious investment in a sleek black that
is as menacing as it is striking. Plus, all the details are what
you want for a '60s cool cruiser. Up front the aggressive
blacked-out grille and double-dipping chrome bumper are an
outstanding first impression. The headlight housing creates a
curved design that runs all the way down the entire sheetmetal
profile until it crafts the reverse lights. And above that is a
full-length trim strip to accurate how stretched and straight this
coupe is. Plus, we know you love the way the tailfins begin right
after the door line and generate the jet-inspired quad taillights.
This is a long, crisp, and wide machine that showcases its details
so well because there have been all the right investments during
restoration.
The white interior almost seems to radiate from within the dark
exterior. There has been a nice investment here so that the seats,
door panels, and headliner all have a bright and fresh feeling. And
because the carpeting is thick and dark, you never have to worry
about dusting off your shoes before going for a cruise. As a
full-size Pontiac, you've got plenty of room for family and friends
to come along. There's even an upgraded retro-style AM/FM/cassette
stereo to keep them entrained. But really, this custom Catalina is
all about the driver. The grippy white steering wheel gives you a
commanding view of the factory gauges, auxiliary readouts, and the
huge SunPro tach. If that wasn't enough of a hint that's something
special under the hood, the cool Lokar floor shifter might just
clue you in.
While the midnight exterior was already intimidating, it's what's
in the engine bay that will really scare off lessor machines. This
502 cubic-inch V8 is a big block torque monster. And you can just
tell how powerful it is by the way it fills up the big engine bay.
More than just a massive motor, you have all the right supporting
components, like a four-barrel carburetor, Mallory fuel regulator,
and a HD aluminum radiator w/electric fan to keep this big V8
running cool in all situations. Plus, you can see the whole motor
so well thanks to a tidy setup that includes Painless wiring
harnesses. With the twist of the key, the thundering big block
roars to life. And if you though the rumble of the Flowmaster dual
exhaust was powerful, just wait until you hear the pure
intimidation that barks once you open up the cutouts that are just
after the long tube headers! This is a true cruising machine, so
you get power brakes, a comfortable ride, and a stout TH400
three-speed automatic that can handle all the power this big block
powered Pontiac brings to the streets.
A '60 Catalina is a rare sight these days, and this coupe has the
standout authority, huge power, and ferocious growl to always keep
it memorable. So either you pick this coupe up today or fear it on
the streets tomorrow. Call now!!!
