I'm having a hard time estimating what the max sale price should be, considering the substantial price differential between LMs and GTOs. Any thoughts on the max?

As it stands I bought a 98% complete 1960 Pontiac Catalina 4 door. It had everything minus the 389. I have found a 389 out of a 1964 Catalina. I have been tols it is a direct bolt in from 1959-1964.. Is this true? The car is very solid all the way through except the trunk area. The body mount that mounts to the rear driver side frame ear is almost completely rotted out. My gas tank braces are also all but gone. Obviously the trunk floor is shot also... A new trunk floor isn't hard to come by. I plan on buying a couple 4x4 sheets of 18 gauge and making the replacement myself. One thing I don't think I can fab is the body brace that mounts to the frame ear. Does anybody have any suggestions or better yet have some of these braces that they would love to sell me?? I will end up fabricating everything and patching it together if I have to. I really want to get this bad boy up and running by the end of August at the absolute latest. I also want to get the suspension lowered by about 3 inches as well. I will end up bagging the car either this fall or next after I get the chassis cleaned up and coated. I would like to get her lowered before I get it on the road though. I have lowered newer cars that you can buy new springs and shocks for.. I obviously can't find anything like that for this car. Any and all help would be much appreciated!!

The pictures are of the rust on the body brace I mentioned earlier. The pics are taken from outside of the car looking in.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/89919/new-here-just-picked-up-a-55-chieftain Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:28:12 +0000 JohnHellbent 89919@/forum/discussions

I've assembled it wrong, or I'm missing something, since the horn ring "wobbles", causing the horn to honk erratically.

Thanks in advance!

Matt

P.S. Even a digi-pic of the hub with the Pontiac emblem removed would help!

My name is Ryan and I am the owner of UMI Performance ( www.umiperformance.com ) We are a large manufacture of aftermarket suspension components for both old and new GM vehicles. We are a USA company and all products are designed and manufacture right here in our faciltiy located in Pennsylvania.



We have been getting quite a few request for B-Body products from the 1960's.. mostly the Catalina. Currently we do manufacture products for the 58-70 Chevrolet B-Body which includes the Impala, Bel Air, Caprice and Biscayne. However the Pontiac B-Body is a different chassis.



Currently what I am looking for is some break downs for the years of rear suspension components and when they changed. We are looking to begin with offering rear suspension products at this time. I am looking to know what years used the same chassis and what cars were included using these components... for example what was the Catalina the same as?



Any information anyone can supply would be greatly appreciated. We can return the favor by offering some excellent suspension items for these popular vehicles



Best Regards,

Ryan]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/114716/1961-pontiac-4-door-sedan Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:37:22 +0000 carbuff 114716@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/116824/1967-ventura-need-help Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:40:14 +0000 67ventura 116824@/forum/discussions


p.s new to this first car .]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/112157/pontiac-194 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 00:28:52 +0000 LUCM70 112157@/forum/discussions
I just enlisted on your forum to ask you some questions about a car I've found in the woods .

By looking on the internet I can tell that it's a Pontiac (Knew that from the grill !!!) maybe a Torpedo 4 doors, and my guess is a 1942.

That's where I'm not sure : Every pictures of '42 I've seen have straight bars on the grill and mine are curved.

I can also tell you that the car is in the Province of Quebec, in Canada. Maybe it's a special Canadian model, I know that happened sometimes from American builders.

I'm posting pictures hoping to have some more info on this thing and if any parts have any value .

Thanks a lot for your help !

I am new here and am looking forward to getting involved in the Pontiac community. I have recently acquired a 1966 Lemans convertible that is all original and plan to restore. With that I have a question that maybe someone here knows the answer to?



Is there a way to manually drop the top on this car?

I'm wondering if anyone can explain the difference between a "Star Chief" and a "Strato-Chief?" I used to own a '65 but can't remember if it was a Star Chief or a Stratochief. I think it was a "Stratochief" but not sure. When I do a Goggle search I can't find to much on "Stratochief," but find lots on "Star Chief":confused:
