1960 Catalina - Running Project
Decided to part with my Catalina.
This is the good looking body style on these, and they don't come up too often anymore as projects. Just a few pics to start out here, I'm just putting this out here for interest right now before I stick it up on craigslist or the bay. Would rather it go to someone here if they are looking for one. NOTE: The car is wet in the pics - it really doesn't look this good. The previous owner painted it flat black for that hotrod look (and that paint is shot). I'll get more realistic pics along with the extra parts towards the end of the week. I bought this car a few years ago with the intention of driving it as a beater. It turned out to be more work than I ever had time for, so it never really hit the road. I've never even driven it out of the neighborhood. About the car: 1960 Catalina 2 door hardtop 389 2BBL car (high compression one) 4 speed hydramatic Manual Steering Manual Brakes Two tone car - Black with painted white roof Grey Interior Sold New in North Carolina in November of 1959 (have a copy of the original title) The good: Previous Owner put in a new windshield and seal Previous Owner added 63-64 8 lugs Newly recored (upgraded to 3 core) radiator Newly recored heater core New heater control valve Rebuilt 1960 AFB four barrel Modded and installed Edelbrock 04B intake Frame is nice Will run and stop The bad: Rust in all of the places you would expect Mediocre floor pans installed by previous owner Crappy trunk pan repair by previous owner Wrong gas tank added by previous owner Dual exhaust, but leaks engine on RH side (I've never looked to find the leak) Transmission has a whine in neutral - might be front pump, not sure - goes away in gear Comes with: 2 New Mexico Doors 1 New Mexico Fender (forget which side right now) Correct gas tank Complete Power steering setup from a 1960 Extra front control arms and the rear one (to make rebuilding the front end easier) Factory Service Manuals and owners manual Just want to reiterate that while it will start, run, and drive, this is a project. Expect to need to rebuild everything, etc. Needs all of the weather stripping (except the front windshield), rust repair, interior work, etc. Don't want anyone thinking they are hopping in and driving this thing across the country. Looking to get $5200, which is WAY less than I have into the thing, but such is life. Clear Virginia title in my name. -Shaggy

Please post interior pictures. When you rust in the expected areas can you be more specific and post pics of rust if possible. I live in the rust belt so your idea of rusty and mine probably differ. Anyway I am interested.

I’m not an expert, but it sure looks like a bubbletop ! I think it’s pretty damn cool. If I had the resources, I’d definitely buy it...

It's evidently no longer for sale.......I've requested interior pictures on this thread as well as a PM from the seller with no response for a couple of weeks.

Sorry Guys,
I ended up going out of town for work, plus Thanksgiving - so I hadn't had a chance to get back here and update this. There is a pending sale on the Catalina. -Shaggy
