1969 Pontiac Catalina

HI THERE,

YOU ARE LOOKING AT WHAT IS LEFT OF MY 1969 PONTIAC CATALINA. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 1997. AFTER 20 YEARS IT'S TIME TO LET IT GO TO SOMEONE WHO CAN USE IT FOR PARTS OR RESTORE ( THAT WOULD BE DIFFICULT ). I FOUND IT IN MASPETH, NY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE MASPETH DINER. ANYONE FROM THE AREA WILL KNOW WHERE THAT WAS. I STILL HAVE A CLEAR KANSAS TITLE IN MY NAME. I LIVED IN KANSAS FROM 2003 - 2005. CAR WAS MY DAILY DRIVER AT THAT TIME. I DROVE FROM NY TO KANSAS 2003. DROVE IT BACK TO NY IN 2005. AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS MISSING MANY PARTS AND CAN NOT BE DRIVEN. CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS. I WILL MAKE UP A BILL OF SALE AND SIGN OVER THE TITLE. IF THE CAR DOES NOT SELL, NO BIG DEAL I'LL JUST PART IT OUT.

IF INTERESTED, PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION.

BODY AND TRIM:

STILL SOME GOOD SHEET METAL ON THE CAR. HOOD HAS TWO RUST HOLES ON THE FRONT LIP AND ON THE UNDER SIDE BRACING. ALL CAN BE PATCHED. RADIATOR SUPPORT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND NOT ROTTED OUT BY THE MOUNTS. ONLY SURFACE RUST.

FRONT FENDERS NEED PATCHES ON THE BOTTOMS. COWL PANEL IS OK AT THE CENTER, BUT RUSTED ON THE CORNERS. FIREWALL IS ROTTED AT THE SEAM UNDER THE WIPER MOTOR HOLE.

DOORS ARE VERY GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE SKINS. SMALL PATCH NEEDED ON THE INSIDE CORNER. BOTH ROCKER PANELS ARE SOLID. QUARTERS ARE VERY ROTTED. TRUNK LID CAN BE FIXED WITH A SMALL PATCH ON THE LOWER CORNER. TRUNK FLOOR ROTTED. FLOOR PANS ARE STILL VERY GOOD WITH ONLY NEEDING A SMALL PATCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR UNDER THE SEAT.

REAR WINDOW AREA ON THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE CORNER WAS RUSTED OUT AND REPAIRED WITH NEW METAL BEFORE CAR WAS PAINTED IN 2001. REPAIR STILL LOOKS OK.

FRONT BUMPER IS ORIGINAL CHROME AND IS A GOOD CORE FOR RECHROME. REAR BUMPER WAS RECHROMED IN 2001 BY KEYSTONE PLATING IN NJ. HAD A LIFETIME GUARANTEE, BUT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS A YEAR OR SO LATER. REAR BUMPER NEEDS TO BE RECHROMED AGAIN.

MOST OF THE STAINLESS TRIM IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND RESTORABLE. WHEEL OPENING MOLDINGS ARE GONE. REAR WINDOW MOLDING IS ALUMINUM AND THE PASSENGER SIDE LOWER MOLDING WAS ROTTED, SO ITS GONE.

THE BODY SIDE MOLDING IN THE LAST PICTURE ARE GONE. SORRY, I SOLD THEM.

ALL EMBLEMS ARE GONE.

GLASS IS THE ORIGINAL TINTED GLASS AND IT ALL LOOKS GOOD. I DO NOT SEE ANY DEEP SCRATCHES, CHIPS OR CRACKS.

ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN:

ORIGINAL ENGINE LONG GONE, I NEVER HAD IT. I DO HAVE THE 400 THAT WAS IN IT. IT'S A 1970 YS BLOCK OUT OF A GRAND PRIX. BLOCK WAS DRILLED AND TAPPED FOR 4 BOLT MAINS BUT HAS 2 BOLT CAPS. ENGINE IN THE CAR NOW IS A 350 FROM A 1971 LEMANS. CONDITION UNKNOWN. TRANSMISSION IS ORIGINAL AND I HAD IT REBUILT IN 2000 WITH A SHIFT KIT INSTALLED. I DID RUN THE CAR WITH A WORKED 400 AND IT WOULD CHIRP 2ND GEAR ALL THE TIME. IT WOULD ALSO CHIRP 3RD GEAR SOMETIMES. THE REAR END IS THE ORIGINAL WITH 2.78 GEARS. THE PINION BEARING WAS MAKING NOISE SO I REBUILT IT IN 1998 WITH ALL NEW BEARINGS AND SEALS. WHEELS ARE THE ORIGINAL KF 15X6 STEEL WHEELS. TIRES ARE OLD AND DRY ROTTEN, BUT HOLD AIR.

INTERIOR:

THE INTERIOR IS MOSTLY GONE. THE DASH IS IN AMAZING CONDITION WITH NO CRACKS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND. THE STEERING IS SOMETHING I MADE UP TO HELP LOAD THE CAR ON A TRANSPORT. FRONT SEAT IS OK. I REDID THE LOWER VINYL BECAUSE OF A SPLIT SEAM. REAR SEAT IS ORIGINAL AND OK. DOOR PANELS OK. ALL NEED A GOOD CLEANING.

SUSPENSION AND BRAKES:

THE FRAME IS STILL IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND ONLY HAS SURFACE RUST. I DO NOT SEE ANY ROT. I REPLACED THE SPRINGS IN 1998 WITH NEW 1969 BONNEVILLE CONVERTIBLE SPRINGS. ALSO IN 1998 I REPLACED THE SHOCKS WITH KYB GAS A JUST, I THINK THEY ARE SHOT NOW. NEW BUSHINGS, BALL JOINTS, AND TIE RODS. SO SOME OF THESE PARTS MAY STILL BE GOOD.

I REPLACED THE FRONT DRUM BRAKES WITH DISC BRAKES OUT OF A 1970 BONNEVILLE. FOUND THEM ON EBAY. REAR BRAKES WERE REBUILT ALSO.

I TRIED MY BEST TO LIST EVERYTHING I CAN REMEMBER AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL ME AT 570 299 0624. MY NAME IS ANTHONY. PLEASE DO NOT TEXT.

PICK UP, SHIPPING OR AUTO TRANSPORT IS UP TO YOU. I WILL HELP IN ANY WAY I CAN. AND I CAN HOLD THE CAR UNTIL YOU CAN PICK UP. JUST TRY TO PICK UP BEFORE THE SNOW. IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACK PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST OR I WILL BLOCK YOUR BIDS. ONLY BID IF YOU REALLY WANT TO WIN THIS AUCTION. THEIR IS A BUY IT NOW IF YOU REALLY WANT THE CAR.

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING.
