We DUG a 1960 Pontiac Catalina CONVERTIBLE Out of a Backyard in Michigan!!! (Sitting Since 1988!)

- My friend Shaun who I met from selling him some 59 parts a few years back called me recently and said he knew of a 1960 Pontiac Catalina convertible that was sitting in a ladies backyard in Michigan where it had been for about 35 years. The ladies' father special ordered this convertible brand new so it would be triple red: Red body, red interior, and a red convertible top. This is a very unique and rare car, as only about 17,000 convertibles were built, and even less with the special-ordered red top. However, the sandy soil of Michigan was not so kind to the underside of this car, and it sunk all the way down to the rockers in the soil. We were able to successfully extract it without it breaking in half, and it was a really fun experience!
Thanks for watching!

![1960 Pontiac Larentian | WALKAROUND REVIEW SERIES [4k]](/img/n.gif)
I would definitely bring it back to life. A triple red has to be rare if not hard to find. It is a unique looker. Never seen one myself
it can be fixed for sure, i hadnt seen one either until this
Was an option in the brochure for '59 and '60 tri-color interior. Some of the most beautiful ever imo.
@@IowaClassicCars bgg
For every 60 Pontiac you’ll find, you might come across 10 to 20 impalas from the same year , so partially restoring it will be an expensive and hard to accomplish preposition, but definitely will love to see it running and looking presentable. Love all the 59/60 GM cars, they are so beautiful and futuristic looking.
thats very true, these cars are much more rare than the chevy versions
Pontiac was actually #3 in sales in this period and sold some 400,000 cars, but they were picked on to crush I think because they're heavy.
You Gotta fix it, one owner triple red, epic!
epic it is!
iFixit is like it is
Thanks Ryan. Very interesting the history of this car. Think I might look for a donor car. Yo get this back. Just hop the engine is not shot. Otherwise I would part it out! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ryan! That Catalina has a sting in it's tail! Shawn did a good job finding this, it would make a great base for an Impala, but being triple red is very cool. Hope you restore/modify/sell it instead of parting it out!
Right on!
Ryan, what a beauty! That red top is amazing. There's nothing you can't do. Appreciate also that you got the history of the car from the original owner's daughter. Very interesting! Always appreciate that you find and save the cars from my childhood.
I appreciate that!
Love this Catalina!
I would want to refurbish it.
Love the 59 chevy wagon still.
thank you
Nice find, how can you leave this beauty to rot in the yard ... I hope this car finds a new owner to restore it! 🤩🤩
some times people just dont have the room but cant let go of memories, it happens a lot
@@IowaClassicCars i understand...
They offered four different 389 set ups..
Ranging from 215 to 303 hp.
In those days each GM make had their own engines..
Unlike today where the same motors go in all of them.
Back in 1960 Bought a new Catalina two dood hardtop with 389 348 hp tri-power, code 424A, with a 4-speed and 3:90 gears. Arnie Beswick had a 389 366 hp special order tri-power. The car he won the Winter Nationals with.
@@royhaught9516
Pretty amazing how much hp they got outta carb'd engines..
yeah isnt that crazy how much HP they could get from them
My old 59 had the 389 base 2bbl. Rated at 320 hp. Effortless torque.
Front passenger side of the block it will have a 2-character code and the sequential of the VIN stamped. I forget the codes but I have a book here to look them up.
My '60 looked like a drunk stamped it out, the numbers were crooked.
nice old rig, classic, hope she rolls along again one day mate, good show..
thanks WIll
What a sweet old girl! She was a nice car in the day!!
Same year I was born. A mess now similar to myself.
hahaha nice :D
What a find,love to see you restore it.
Fingers crossed!
If it were my car I would fix it! It might take a 4 door donor but I think it'd be worth it. In my eyes almost any rag top from this area should be restored, because there just aren't a ton of convertibles anymore, let alone ones as cool as this. And a special order one like this one deserves restoration all the more.
a donor car can make this one nice and new again
All pontiacs was left thread on that side till 63 even the 8 lug cars......they was also all 5 on 5 bold pattern.......60 also last yr of ball bearing wheel bearings in the front
i hate that about the lug nuts lol it drives me crazy
@@IowaClassicCars it was done in thought to keep the lug nut from backing off from road vibration....64 pontiac went to standard right thread on both sides.......
What a shame! That car was neglected for 34 years after it was driven for 28. Spent more time rusting away than it was driven. Expensive and time consuming to even just "fix" it, getting it running and driving. Daily driver more time and money. restoration would be a considerable task maybe not worth it. Would be nice to see it fixed up a bit and driving if possible.
it can still be fixed though
No, this is a car you can restore and not lose money on even if you dump 30 grand into it.
The only debatable part of the restoration that would be the frame.
The only debatable part of the restoration that would be the frame.
@@todddenio3200 I can tell from the fact the car survived bouncing around on a trailer all the way from Michigan to Iowa that the frame can't be too bad. If it was, the rear bumper would be hanging loose on the left and the suspension on that side might have collapsed, too.
Restore it for sure, that car is most likely 1 of 1 with being a special order. Red on Red / Red Top, The inside did not look to bad, maybe the build sheet survived behind the back seat
I bet the car did not have a red top from new. That would have been really rare.
I heard the owner say the top was original. That is super rare.
yes it did have the red top from factory, red and blue tops were special order only items
I’m so jealous living in uk in uk that’s not even classed as rust . Send it to me please 🙏
I have had literally a dozen 59 Pontiacs. They are awesome cars. You've definitely got something there worth fixing
I like the styling front and back, and I remember the commercial, "Wide Track......Pontiac ! "
Wow, a triple red 60 Pontiac convertible! This car has to be a 1of 1 produced. Definitely worth restoring, but it's going to take a donor and a lot of time.
as rusty as it is id send it to mexico they do great work there at reasonable prices lots of youtube channels on mexico bodyshops
it is definitely a rare beast
10 years ago I was given a 1958 Mercedes which was just like that. A nice car parked up and left sitting in the grass behind a garage. Even though the grass was mowed around it,it was ignored and it eventually sank in the sand. It took us two days of digging and winching to get it up out of the sand and onto a truck.
at least you got it though!
I just pulled a 64 Bonneville Safari out of Texas that had been sitting under a grove of Pecan trees. It had been there since 1977. A 421 Tripower car. Poured Trans fluid down the carbs and squirted Trans fluid in all the cylinders before I trailered it back to Ohio. I rebuilt the carbs and turned it over. It runs out fine. Yours is rare enough to make it worth going thru it. Well done. Nice find
nice man!
What a shame it took all those years for the Daughters family to snap out of the twilight zone and decide to let someone else fix her up 🤪
Such a rare and cool ride! 😎
at least it was saved before it was totally unfixable
I love this car. My parents had a couple of Pontiac wagons - a 60 and a 66 that had a 389 engine in it that I haven’t been able to find any information on and even the dealer they bought it from said it was the only one he had ever seen it was listed as a 389 - 2 bbl - “All Fuel Engine”. It had amazing power for being a 2 bbl, got good gas mileage - (22+ mpg Hwy) as long as it was ran over 70 mph. Then my older brother had 2 Pontiacs - a 61 Catalina convertible and a 65 Bonneville Convertible - 421 4 speed 8 lug wheels, reverb radio, red with white leather bucket seat interior, white top.
Nice cars they had!
Omgggg ! PONTIAC !
We love Pontiacs ! I want a 1st Gen Firebird BIGLY ! I might even consider giving up my '70 GTX for the right Firebird 🤩
Awesome Score on this Catalina Soft-top ! HUGE Thumbs Up !
😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
glad you liked it
Very cool! I did a barn find video of some of my dad's stash. He's got a 60 hard top with a "fresh" 389 that's been sitting for decades.
nice video of cars too lol lots of goodies there
@@IowaClassicCars yes for sure and while those are some of his favorites. It's a small handful of his cars.
Depends on condition of the frame, be neat if it would start. Good save, Mortske is jealous 🤩
Lol he has lots of cool stuff himself
You mentioned getting a car lift.
I’ve had both the 2 post and the 4 post.
I prefer the drive on 4 post. One doesn’t have to kneel down and stand on your head to place the arms under the car.
I use the metal sliding tray that comes with the 4 post for an air jack to do tires and brakes.
Ryan just put it inside on the back burner and start finding parts or even a parts car - the only thing that could make it rarer is 8 lug and triple carbs
it is inside my shop now!
In 1970 my dad bought a red, 1960, 2dr hardtop, Wide Track, Catalina for $200. The owner said the transmission was leaking. We fixed it by replacing the output seal and bad U-joints. I waxed it, added an 8 track Learjet stereo and drove it to college, 240 miles round trip, every weekend for two years. It was the best handling highway car I've ever owned. I wish I had kept it. I do remember, changing that spark plug located under the AC compressor, was really tough.
Great story!
I am pretty sure thats a gear puller you are trying to use to get the brake drums off. It looks way to flimsy and doesn't have the right attachment for pulling drums.
You need a puller which has arms that attach to the studs or bolt holes (depending on the type of dum) You attach the arms like the you would the wheel and then when you tighten the puller it pushes from the centre of the axel, pulling the drum off.
yes i have a puller like that but left it at home, thats how it usually goes for me lol and sadly would only work on the fronts with the hub nut removed
the 3 jaw pulls the back ones just fine due to no dust shield being in the way. I should have filmed that, we pulled each rear drum in about a minute.
On a side note, its crazy to see you watching my stuff as ive watched your videos for a while now lol
@@IowaClassicCars Wow didn't think would have seen my videos haha. Got one on restoring my 1935 Dodge. Not sure if you have seen that one.
@@HughJeffreys i have not but ill go check it :D
Love the Poncho. That 389 had some torque. I have a friend in Rockford MI and I live in Almont, MI. The first car I drove was my parents 59 Chevy Parkwood wagon. Small world.
Great job Ryan, I didn't think you would get it out 👍🏻👍🏻
always have faith lol
Where there’s a will there’s a way as long as the frame will hold together long enough to get it out and loaded up any car can be gotten. There’s a video somewhere here on CZcams about a 65/66 Shelby Mustang being recovered from a back yard that was so rusted they had to mount square steel tubing to the car both lengthwise and width wise to keep it intact
MY FIRST CAR, 1960 CATALINA, BOUGHT IT IN 1966. EVERY DAY DRIVER. DROVE IT BACK AND FORTH EVERY WEEKEND TO PHILADELPHIA PA. AND BACK TO WEST VIRGINIA. 389 CI. 2 BRL CARB. TOOK IT TO THE DRAGSTRIP, RAN J/STOCK AUTOMATIC, CLASS WINNER, SUMMER OF 1967 UNTIL BEAT BY A 1964 PONTIAV BONEVILLE. THOSE WERE THE DAYS.. I LOVED THAT CAR ! 😀
I got a nice hardtop for sale
Another great year for Pontiac.
100%
Whatever it takes to bring it back will be worth the effort and I hope it stays in usa and pure original.
Fix it either way .
You've become a season veteran
with that BFSH Ryan !
Thanks for sharing your passion .
✌️
haha thank you
Find a donor and save this convertible. Too cool to part out. Someone will have ambition to take project on.
absolutely
Great car! It's really exciting to see her move, but it's too bad people wait so long to decide to sell them. At least you ended up with her!!
Thanks Ron!
Big fan of the Catalina's, about 35 years ago I looked at a 62 or 63 ( I believe its even longer) in someones driveway in Michigan, that thing was largely gone on the entire lower half (early Gran Prix's were rust buckets too) so in context, this car is nearly mint .. what a find.
ps hilarious on the sledge swinging ... one swing aaargh -- used to be a wood seawall installer and we had a crew of five, line up and each take three swings pounding ..only 75 feet more to go, 8 inches at a time.
lol i bet that was no fun!
The car is in pretty good shape for being a convertible and a car from MI. Depending on how bad the frame is and the usual floor replacement, this car is pretty straight and complete. You seem be be able to find 59/60 Pontiacs lately so you may find enough to make this a doable project. For the cost of restoration, you may get the most for your dollars spent to upgrade the drivetrain/suspension but go for a stock appearance. The triple red would be worth keeping on this car. Being this was in the family since day one, did she have any pictures of the car in the early days she could or did give you? This would be great to have with the car if it does get restored. Been following you for quite a while but lately the Pontiacs have been an added bonus for me (the 59 Oldsmobile 98 was also great). Thanks.
exactly, for being a MI car, its not too terrible
Thank you for saving another car. Keep it as it is.
thanks for watching
Wasps had ya steppin n fetching. Good recovery 👍
haha thanks Jim!
Good candidate for restoration because of the color and rarity, but that era of GM’s in the rust belt had big frame problems at the kick-ups. Probably will need a donor frame
Yeah it would definitely need a donor or two
Buddy had the same car but it was a 3 speed on column. Nice car .
Nice
I have the hardtop version of that car. I either win or top 5 for most all the shows i take it to. I have a lot of spare parts for that car.
PLEASE save it someone is looking for it what a beautiful piece of iron i love it!!
If its possible it would be worth restoring, I remember seeing a similar triple red '60 convertible in a picture sometime ago, when I was a kid I remember a couple of brothers who owned '60 Pontiacs one a white Catalina two door hardtop and the other a white over black convertible,if memory serves it may have been a Bonneville, I just remember thinking they were the sharpest cars around.
sweet!
"And now let one fix it nice" .... Yeah, another classical parts car, you are 20 years late of giving it over and "fixing it nice". ^^
It can be restored, but will require frame donor car.
@@danielulz1640 At least a new frame, buit i wouldnt say that to loud without having a single realistic look at it. And noone would probably wasting money and years for it to fix. When they can have a lot of money quick for parts. And they do it all over , exactly that. In almost all of these channels, which is totally logic.
it can for sure be fixed
Fix it no questions asked
When I get cars like that and I get in that situation I tie a chain to the back of my trailer and yank it out straight and then winch it I always worry about the winch burning up I tried to put as little stress on the winch as possible
wouldnt be possible in this soil, the truck was sinking just sitting there. if i would have been pulling and spinning, i would have buried the truck and would have been game over. have to be careful in places like this
My Dad owned the hardtop version in a metallic midnight blue same car down to the taillights!
I recently got to drive one similar! Awesome maroon with a white top though. Such cool, and very long, cars they are.
nice and yes very long cars
I would think some Impala body parts may be able to fix the rust. IE Rockers, Lower rear fenders,????
close but they are different enough impala stuff cant be used
That must have been a sweet ride when it was new…
it would have been a sharp car thats for sure
Of all GM 59s i prefer the Pontiacs, beautiful shape.
Think its still fixable
A friend of mine bought a 68 Camaro off of Ebay a few years ago. We live in the Northwest and the car came by truck from Vermont. Anyhow the pictures were a bit creative because it was way worse than the add. When it came off the trailer it pretty much just folded up. It was so bad he just parted it out! I was kind of expecting this one to foldup but it didn't. Hopefully you can bring it back because it was a cool car back in the day!
Do you ever turn back on the brake adjuster star wheel? You could spray the adjusters then use a brake tool or flat screwdriver to get the rims off.
I mean to loosen the rims to get them to free wheel
Yeah but these brake shoes swell up over the years and rust to the drums. No way to get them off. Even the puller was having a hard time pulling them off
Great find. If your trying to win me over, it's working. All these PONTIACS. It's like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit. I don't know how you feel about this, but it pisses me off so bad when people have a car , any car sitting in their yards like this car for so long . Then when there ready to sell it , it's maybe a parts car at best . Ten years ago this wouthave been a decent car to restore. Now, I dunno. If it's sentimental, then, TAKE BETTER CARE OF IT. It can still be restored , but it's going to cost A LOT more now. Your a good man , doing a good thing.
haha, i think i am done with pontiacs for a while!
Good luck finding a doner. I've got a 74 pillarless hardtop and can't find didly for parts. These were gramma cars and ended up at the crusher.
Good job Ryan, when are you getting back on the one you and your dad put the engine in?
Im hoping soon, we have been busting butt on my shop
@@IowaClassicCars ok 👍
Being a special order car , in Triple Red, it should be restored. I imagine not many cars were ordered in triple of the same color. Frames can be swapped. Only takes money. I'd like to see it restored. In your future videos can you please SHOW THE UNDERSIDE and frame. Great job.
yeah i can do that in the future
Ryan is the "Indiana Jones" of classic car rescue. It matters not if the car is buried into the earth for decades or entombed in a garage for years. No job is too difficult. The car is coming home with him.
haha i sure try!
You were practically in my backyard I'm in north east Michigan near Flint.
nice man! beautiful part of the country thats for sure
Excellent video Ryan :) also see if get motor running and transmission also move on own power too and fix what needs!
will do thanks man!
One of your best videos.
thanks Wesley!
Cool Video man! I say make it run and make it soild and drive it as is. The car has a cool look and story!
Thanks! Will do!
Definitely a rare beast! As Michael Gonzalez posted, Pontiacs, Buicks and Oldsmobiles are outnumbered by Chevrolets of the same vintage. A triple red Catalina would merit serious consideration to be restored. Given its condition, it would have to be done in stages. Each one very costly. Having dealt with a 67 Bel Air sedan with a rusty frame and owning a 68 GTO convertible with frame issues, it's more than just bodywork. I have no doubt that this would be a beautiful ride!! A neighbor lady had a 60 Catalina convertible when I was a kid. Haven't seen one since. Curious as to what happens with this car. Thanks, Ryan!!
oh yes for sure
Well friend that finds a 60 Catalina red convertible is a friend indeed! Ryan why don't you consider using bumper jacks? I'm not talking about the car jack I'm talking about wagon / truck jacks. Northern tools and hydraulics or atwoods had the best quality and price. You can give him 8 ft tall! I've got them 50 years old and you said wouldn't handles. We were Jack trucks up out of ditches with them. They need a winch all we needed was chain and that Jack and a couple of trees. Same thing at grandfather probably used to pull fence post. Not only can you jack it up with less effort and put your blocks underneath there and do as you wish but you can jack it up and push the car sideways especially the back end by the way they would be out of the holes right away. About 20% of the time it takes otherwise it's been my experience. Anyway when it comes to the brake drums is how my dad taught me. And we were saving them we weren't busting them and buying Chinese knockoffs or whatever just a background on a story. It should be at least two round holes in the face of the drum with what looks like a little eardrum sticking up in the middle of that hole. Always flat on the spindle. And you take a cold chisel or some kind of chisel Hammer into those two points of course if you got the time you soak it down with LPS. Nowadays we all use rust blaster. Then you put your three or four jaw giant gear puller on it walk it off as you tapping it. I've literally cut the face of drums almost in two all the way across with chisels in these holes. I use cutting torches as well to at least heat them up. Now this isn't the old days I don't have to save those drums. I carry two of those trucks/wagonjacks with me in my truck at all times if not more than two. Something to think about. Also I'm very impressed that the body hasn't lifted off the frame in a major way! I'm assuming that it has the same x-frame as it's GM counterparts. I had a '59 Chevy do that. Okay I'm about halfway through the video office watching it I wanted to make those comments. Great job Ryan to you and your friends! That car does have potential but the cost will be more than the value when it's done. But for a daily driver it could be salvageable.
bumper jacks i have never been a fan of, too many horror stories
@@IowaClassicCars oh I understand the horror stories. But I grew up with them. My horror story is using two floor jacks and him work against each other and pull one off the other Jack if you're not careful. Obviously you done a great job getting that Catalina out of its resting place parrot but the truck wagon Jack you can get it at Atwood orschelns tractor supply there's different qualities and different links. But I still got the one that I had with my dad gave me when I was 16. We use that in a chain and trees to pull various people out of the ditch. They're very versatile tool. I probably own about 10 of these jacks different sizes and what have you. Dig a small hole of piece of plywood or 2x6 underneath it and jack it up at the blocks under it then use your floor jack . By the way I'm just sharing what's worked for me over the decades. I do want to mention that those single 4x4 and maybe four by six blocks you had stack up it would be possible if the car fell for those tax to fall over too like Domino's. Funny case I've seen a few people hurt messing with old cars and even in my younger days I just kind of like a granny about these things. I had my own motor pool in the army and I was in charge of that motor section. Also I missed out on soldier of the cycle for the Post by one point. The gig that finished me off in the competition was I left the door open on the truck while I was underneath there working and it cost me five points. Not as bad as somebody getting hurt but it's a moment of pride that got hurt. I don't even have to know somebody to be concerned for their safety. Growing up in farm country which I would imagine Iowa is too we just were trained to look after each other. In any case I really enjoy your channel glad to see you get these cars. Thrilled to see that intense interest in these cars. Thank you have a good day and a safe one.
Love the color. The wasp! I always seem to find them as well. No fun.
those dang wasps were persistent lol
Nice job Ryan & company, fix it as it sets!!
thanks Paul
That's a great style!
Glad you think so!
Great find.would look super with some money put in it. Probaly undercarriage all rusted.more videos please, and thanks
Will do
Had a”60” Ventura same color. Wished I had it back !
I got a 60 catalina coupe for sale, brown with red interior
Sweet rescue Ryan. 😎👍😎
thanks Ron
There are any cars surviving "North of Chicago" ? They would have real winters all around there and they'd fall apart from all the salt and harsh conditions ! And red on red with red is really RED car :) "Let me get my sledgehammer" reminds me of that meme about unscrewing stuck screws, where hammer was labelled as a level with "I wasn't asking". It ended with a torch and "It can't be stuck if it's liquid".
Illinois is very bad for rust lol
Fix the pontiac, when is the last time you saw one . Chevies are everywhere, Pontiacs are not
i have never seen one like this
Awesome car. Gonna take a lot.
I would try to get a doner, all the best to yous and your loved ones
i have a few here :D thanks!
Do what you can to improve the car and find somebody who will build it. Triple resale red! I believe I know where there's a four-door setting at maybe a two door stripped. That must be one hellacious swap meet Eric a true Impala convertible super sport 1962 is selling it as swap meet? Course I don't know the particulars about it. I think 1963 was the first year that's a super sport emblems are actually on the car. 61 and 62 I think it was in the glove box from manufacturer. I'll admit I like both of these convertibles. They are indeed on two different levels. Great job again. I can feel the momentum of your channel well into his second gear scratch head for a third-year scratch! And no breaks in between. That was our dream back in the day all four gears.
1961 was the first year for SS badging
@@IowaClassicCars yep 1961 was first year and it came in the glove box. I just don't know if 1962 if they were put on at the factory or not the SS badging. And of course the letters would be that brick red insert. I've got one of those ugly old who would want it 63 Impala super sport convertible since 1985. It took a couple of decades for people to come around to my kind of thinking and begin to like them
i like the way cars are stored in the us its like they dig a hole to park it
haha
I hope someone restores this car! Too cool of a car to not restore.
absolutely
Sitting in the yard since 1988... yard art... lol
its some pretty yard art lol
I enjoyed the wasp nest footage.
Haha we didnt 🤣
Nice find! Reading the comments, great name for the cat! R B.. Arby.. AKA rust bucket🐈
Yes! Thank you!
Too good to not fix, some one will want to fix it up. 60’s Classic!
absolutely
I know where there is a 60 Pontiac hardtop sitting in a back yard just outside of Whaleyville, Va. Sitting there for over 30 years, I would say.
wow dang
Good score !
thanks Dennis
Ryan did the seller happen to have any pictures of the car in its glory days? It must have been stunning when it was new. Hopefully it can be restored.
I asked but have not yet recieved any
Welcome to Michigan brother
thanks, its a beautiful state
@@IowaClassicCars I’ve lived here my whole life brother
I say this all the time! Use a bumper jack.
We have a 60 catalina 4 dr in our collection. My wife Debbie Likes it. She made a U tube video of it.
nice ill check it out
What do you think this car is worth ? Is the frame and floor boards etc rotten ? Dot mean to aggravate you just curious. I love old Pontiac cars.
That im not sure, its all about the youtube content!
fix it as it is I live those old cars my dad had a 60 4 door Bonneville I think they called it a flat top it had the 389 4 barrel it was fast as hell
Those bees sure know how to pick ‘em!
that they do lol
RESTORE! It's such a rarity!
Mortske will get it running for you.😀
haha, the fuel pump rusted off the block, so i doubt it!
@@IowaClassicCars Gonna have to spend a few bucks for a new one.
I didn't see you on camera put it in neutral to see if the rear would spin. Did you do that before going through all that?
no but with my experience of these cars, 99.999% of the time, the drums are seized. even if they werent, they would most likely be very tight. So pulling them just makes life easier regardless.
Now that’s a sexy car! Wow! 👍
Oh yeah
