Description
This Pontiac is as rare as it gets. It is a 1 of 1 customer order with all factory high performance parts.
389A Trophy 389 Special Ordered 1959 Pontiac Catalina Sedan 345 horsepower.
The same as the NASCAR teams.
Boughtnew by a North Carolina moonshine runner after researching Pontiac andNASCAR. He told me he wanted a non-descript Pontiac with the same enginethat Cotton Owens and Fireball Roberts used to win NASCAR.
Big questions first.
Does it have a numbers matching 345 horsepower, Tri-Power Pontiac engine? YES
Does it have X and O on the heads? YES
Does it have AN stamped on the block? YES
Does it have factory 15 inch wheels? YES
Does it have a 3.64 factory gear ratio? YES
I have $40K invested in the restoration. I restored the interior, exterior and a $10K stroker 440ci Pontiac engine with the original 389 block.
Estimated 400 Plus Horsepower.
Engine build by Pontiac engine experts DCI Motorsports in Atwater, Ohio.
Irestored this Wide Track High Performance Pontiac in 2005-2006 in Vanguard Blue as it is the color that wefound on the car. Body tag noted Concord Blue, a darker Blue.
Vehiclewas in storage last 10 years and took some weather damage clearly shownin photos. Bad part first: Bubbling up on bottom ofdoors. Trunk LIP is rusted. Quarter window metal is rusted on one side.Headliner needs re-done.
I have $40K into this Super-Rare Pontiac.
The originalowner told me they called it Super Duty Pontiac.
Goodnews: Engine built by DCI Motorsports, Pontiac specialist, in Ohio. 389now has a stroker kit and 440ci. 700R4 transmission installed in placeof original trans (original trans is included.) Front disc brake kitfrom Master Power Brakes in Mooresville, NC, installed. 200 mph custom speedometer (looks like factory speedo) This was a feature car for articles in High Performance Pontiac and Poncho Perfection magazines.Currentstate: New owner will need to finish up the electrical for thetransmission. Vehicle will start up and move on its own power. Enginehas 0 miles on it.This super rare Catalina islocated between Akron and Youngstown Ohio. Ask any and all questions. Ifit doesn't sell, I'll finish it and take it to auction.Here'sa story you should hear: Pontiac refused to build this car and told theoriginal owner the engine was only for two door cars. He persisted andPontiac built this Super Duty car for him.
