ABANDONED 1960 Pontiac 2 Door Wagon Will it Start? First Start Has Not Run in Over 25 Years Hot Rod.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2020
- We attempt to get running a 1960 Pontiac 2 door wagon that has been sitting in a field of cars for over 25 years. It has a 235 Thrift Master staight 6, 3 speed standard floor shift. Old hot rod wagon from the 60's/ 70's.

That station wagon deserves a second chance to live.
We all like it also, just time an money now. Hopefully next year.
Do you own it ?
@@telemachusepiphany9668 We do not own this one yet, it is owned by a good friend of ours. We may get to own it soon.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms where are you located?
Winnipeg Manitoba Canada.
super rare that's a very rare station wagon might be the only one left nice super great find👍🏼
Thank you. I beleave there was less than 1000 built in Canada.
I’m 58 and have NEVER ever seen one like it!
@@SuperchiefApache They were only made in Canada.
That old Poncho NEEDS to be saved. It's DIFFERENT, it's COOL, and it's RARE and really doesn't seem to be in too bad of shape rust wise compared to cars here in Minnesota. If I had the means to do it, I would snap that one up in a heartbeat... As for the Turizmo I had an 84 2.2 5 spr that was a shipping screw up. It had tags saying it was supposed to go to Europe and not stay in the USA... Needless to say the European ones were a bit different than the domestic ones mechanically. Carb, intake manifold, exhaust header, ignition system, computer and transaxle were different (transaxle had gearing in it which Chrysler Corp said were never put in the car -- 3.05:1 ring n pinion with a 27% overdrive 5th gear. It was amazingly quick, got up to 54 mpg hwy, and topped out at over 140 mph. (It took being given a ticket by a state trooper to help me learn that and when I finally got my license back my insurance premiums were a constant reminder of it for 5 years). I also had it's evil twin which a friend and I built -- an 84 Charger we made a frame under and dropped a 340 and 4 spd in, built a transmission tunnel and converted to RWD with the rear end out of the rolled 340 Duster donor that I had gotten narrowed. Drove it once and it was a handful to say the least..... Sold it 2 days later..
That 340 in there would have been nice to see. Thank you. We may try and get the wagon out of there next year.
That wagon needs to be saved!!
Hopefully sometime next year we will pull it out of there.
Would like to have that wagon fellas.....just saying!
@@SuperchiefApache Yes a lot of people would like to have it. We are Pontiac collectors and might get to it in a year or so.
Penny's Hot Rods & Customs a year or so 🤷♂️ it might get stripped... get it now. Just sayin
@@vernoncarroll9839 Ya gotta get in line....behind me! Lol!!!
a 2-door Pontiac wagon has to be a pretty rare piece.
From what I have been told, just under 1000 were built in Canada.
I've never seen a two door pontiac wagon of this vintage EVER ......nice find get this thing Rollin again!
Will be looking at it in the spring time. Keep watching and thanks for watching.
It's great to see a beautiful old yellow car reborn like this. Thanks for sharing this video. Sy
Thank you more to come.
I like the looks of the Parisian next to it! although tha old wagon is a pretty rare car.Make a great hot rod with a 455 in it!!
Yes it would. Do not give us any ideas like that, we have to much to do right now. 😁
I regret selling my 1969 pontiac Parisian Convertible!!! Loved that car
@@jontrudell7529 That is a nice car also.
Has to be rare bird. Looks like a neat build. Lots of work but you guys are up to it.
We might take a good look at it next year.
A fun little start...well done guys!!! keep up the great work!!!!
Thank you we will.
The glass is all there, the body isn't too far gone. If the frame and floors are in good shape, it might be a good little project.
It may be one of our project cars in the next year or two.
My neighbor had a 1961 Impala and I can remember the front fenders being rotted on the top front back in 1971. It's a very common spot.
Yes I think there is a brace there that collects dirt.
Being from the uk we don’t have access to any of these cars. Anything old over here ends up rusted away. This 2 door waggon has to be one of the coolest cars I’ve ever seen
There is also a cauple more 2 door wagons we will be filming shortley also in this yard.
Check out the dash, that was someones Shaggin Wagon!
It had a lot of that in the back of it I am sure.
Don't come knocking if the wagons rocking. I'm talking rock n roll. Get your mind out of the gutter. lol
@@brianandlindafairchild1237 rock and roll is hard and sweaty
a very cool ol wagon, thank you for showing us this...you are appreciated!
Thank you Tom. We appreciate you watching.
I love the 58-60 gm wagons such cool cars! I wish I had a 59 Chevy wagon. Great video keep up the good work.
Thank you we will.
I didn't know Pontiac made a 2 door wagon! Cool!
It is a Canadian built model.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms I thought that all along. I said to myself, "A 1960 Pontiac *TWO-DOOR* wagon?!" Then I said, "Ahhh, it's Canadian!"
@@pennyshotrodscustoms And that engine looks to be an inline-6. Our Pontiacs (in the United States) had V-8's.
@@knowbodiesfull5768 Definitely a 6. We have been hearing that Canadian Pontiacs are quite different than the US counterparts, such as all Canadian Pontiacs came with Chevy engines?
Love the old 2.2 Plymouth turismo my friend had one of them in the early 90's it was manual 5 spd did lots of cruising around in one it and I had the 86 Shelby Charger with the turbocharged 2.2 blue and grey with a 5 spd those were the days I would love to relive again
We were hoping that this one would run, but the engine was pulled.
Awesome wagon and worthy of saving. Great call on the fire ext. Smart, it saved my 67 Mustang big block 460 from burning to the ground and the garage with it. lol Cheers from Motown. Keep us posted on your updates and progress on this little beauty please!
Thank you Robert. We will have a short video on this wagon in a week.
That is a cool car. It would really stand out if it got fixed up. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍
It is possible down the road.
235 inline 6 cyl
There's a Body Style in this 1960 Pontiac that has beautiful lines like no other a wonderful Family Car from 60 Years ago
You are correct. We will be posting another quik video on this one in a week.
good car to restore solid
We will get to it one year i like it have a soft spot for wagons
That is one very cool car. You're very fortunate to own it. Someone a long ways back loved that vehicle. Awesome.
The car will be a future project and its a really cool car. Thank you.
Good stuff guys ! Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks! Will do!
Fun episode guys!! Good stuff! Start the Tempo with a brick on the gas and just let it go.............
Sounds like a good idea. 😁
Wow what a gem to find
Take some serious money and effort to restore for sure .
We may get to it in a year or two.
I was watching the 73 big block chevy..I have a small block elcamino..your friend the chevy hater should know if you're a true car enthusiasts you are not prejudice against any make .Like people thats what makes it fun.I love your channel.Cheers.
I am still going to hate on the Chevys, it fun. The wagon is growing on me though. Do not tell anyone.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms I did not know he is your brother..but he looked mad.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms i won't.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms vega is truly the era of stuff that was maybe with freckled faced young ladies the 70 to 83 perhaps.You are too young.
That awesome all it needs is everything!
Elbow Grease and Penny Pinching are my two favourite mods.
Sound like a good start.
Dang I would like to have that wagon to. Like the body lines.
For a GM product, it is cool.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms Don't hate on the GM's. i have a bit of everything anymore and i don't care what make they are they all have problems.
@@KensStuff I do it mostly for laughs and to bug the other guys.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms I kinda figured. Your doing a great job. Lol
Do you own it and is it for sale? We're r you from what state?
Hi folks , would love to be squirreled away with this for the winter . Just patching holes , cleaning , and making it nicey nice . Of coarse Moon equipment stickers and S/S Cragars . 6 in a row can stay so can the Indy shifter , just make sure there's a white round shifter knob .The yellow paint is a keeper... at least as much as can be saved . Would show up lookin' like a Greg car . Thanks for the visit and chance to daydream . Was hoping you would show it again . My shirt of the day was red flannel but no black checks . Should be wearing my green and black checkered flannel cap !
thank you you know it will be back
Had a 60 in the late 60's, but my wagon had a 389 and was a torque horse. I also had a 60 Pontiac sedan with a 389 too back then.
Thats awesome one day i would like to get a 389.
Definitely worth saving! The hard part will be the roof repair, but you boys do some decent metal work! Wonder if a Suburban or other wagon would have ribs that would match? Keep at It! Go Penny's!🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Glenn. Maybe next year we will do something with this one.
Next year sounds better than many years!!!🤣
It's a pretty neat little car !
It's phuking gigantic mate.
I agree with most others that it needs to be saved.
We will have another look at it next year.
I have never seen one of these, but what a cool looking car. Definitely not something very common. We shall call it big Bird lol
I do think the yellow suits it and so does that name.
yeah that's a rare one you might see a Super Chief more often but that's definitely a keeper right there especially in the shape shes in.
I love tha classic pontiac station wagon.
1940, 1950, 1960, 1970
And 1980s my decades cars. Thanks
Thank you
I never seen one before. I didn't know Pontiac a 2 door that year. I have seen a few 57 Pontiac safari 2 door wagons. Our family had a 59 Catalina safari wagon in the early sixties, but it was a four door. It was a beautiful seasprayed green color.
Thats awesome i like wagons and glad people are starting to dig them looking forward to working on it next year thank you for watching Jack.
OMG what a classic
Thanks
You guys should save a car and drive it home. Alot of that going on now but people learn from your struggle and problem solving. Thx for interesting video 👍
We thought about that but, we have to many projects and not enough space right now. This car will not get scrapped, it will be saved some day.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms sure someone would buy it ---to save it
That’s a pretty nice old chunk of street iron! Would make a sweet ride!
Yes it would some day.
I’d love to see a 421 Tripower in that thing !!
@@ervinthompson6598 That, my friend, would be a dream of all dreams! Can we tub it, too?
That would be neat.
inline 6, and 3 speed manual. That's special
It is definitely cool.
Canada model
@@danesderelicts Yes.
We used to see a lot of that back in the day! Hey, low buck cool hot rod looking stuff!
@@SuperchiefApache they should pick up a radiator and throw some air in the tires
That sunroof is a bummer, but it looks like she's still mostly there.
She's a good candidate for restoration and there's very few of those left let alone intact.
Yes it would be a nice project. We may get to it next year.
I have never seen one of these in a 2 door wagon! Tons of 4 doors all over the place and usually near mint condition. Just saw one the other day! This might be a cool car for someone who wants to get it back on the road. As for the Tempo, I owned a couple in the day and didn't like them then either! Lol!
Theres a 2 door that drives around here but yup think there pretty rare cars for a 2 door and agree about the tempo lol
As every one else has said: WOW! What a cool wagon! Bring her back to life!
We make no promisess but we will see what we can do next year.
So cool!
Why thank you
Well worth salvaging! Would like to see her restored!
We will see next year or two to get it on the road.
Wow never seen one an now I have man I really like it , everything about it the way the looks in the front an headlights an the front windshield too an dash an it's a straight drive . Man ha I want that even tho it's really rusted 😯😏 an for sure needs to be saved lol
We might look at it again in the spring time.
It is a surprise to see a 6 cylinder full sized Pontiac, especially a wagon. It must be a Canadian model.
You are right!
This is a great little baby to have a modern touch engineered into a rebirth!
That car is cool, indeed.
The glass in that beast alone is worth its value.
Im sure it is will be working on it in the spring time.
I just looked up production figures for 1960 and 1959 Pontiac two door station wagons. I found figures for the 4 door wagons, but not the two doors wagons. Apparently they must be so rare that whoever compiled those figures never knew they existed. Actually I wonder if somebody converted a four-door into a two-door the more I think about it.
We looked it up and this is a Canadian car and they made less than 1000 in 60. Pontiac only made 2 door wagons in Canada for 59 and 60.
I spy a Monza or Skyhawk near the Turismo! My first car was an 80 Spyder! My Dad bought it for $750. I'd love to get another H-body beater to fix up for my kids when they get their license!
I think it is the Pontiac version not sure.
Hi guys watching in the UK
Cool, like to here from people over seas.
Turismo? Is that what they called them up there? We had them here in the states that we call Dodge Omni or Plymouth Horizon. I had one. Same color paint and interior. I gave $50us and drove it for a year. Bad clutch and all. If you were patient and didn't push it too hard it would grab enough to get you going. Had a HUSRT handle on the stock shiter. Only thing I wanted and kept from the car. On the bright side it almost paid me back triple the day I took it over the scale. Thanks for sharing. Love that old wagon.
Thank you. We were hoping to try and start that car but the motor was gone.
very rare, very cool! Do the Metro next.
We will have a look and see if it is seazed next time we are there.
Distributor is supposed to turn on the old 235 engines . Vacuum advance is fixed and link moves distributor as you accelerate .
Good to know.
If it is a Canadian built Pontiac it should have come with a 261ci (GMC Truck engine)
An identifier is on the block right by the starter there would be two raised hash marks ( || ) if it is a 261ci 👍👍
Thank you for the informtion, we will have to check the next time we are out there.
Props to showing the 2.2 mopar
Yes but it is sad that there was no motor for us to work with.
Some of those older Pontiacs 58-62 had the 261 not the 235
thats good to know thank you
I have one restored fun to drive gets tons of attention!!
Cool, thank you Tony. Can you post a picture on our Facebook page? Penny's Hot Rods and Customs.
I wanna see the Tempo run. I think I could speak for Tyler and Del and say they’d like to see the Tempo run too.
Tempo's will be the last ditch effort. They are a horrible car.
Station wagons are awesome
They sure are.
Ha ha, cool find and great video :-) I'd love to get my hands on that station wagon especially since I just found a 400 horse Buick 350 out of a 69 Buick LeSabre that would fit nicely in that 😋
We might get to this one next year and try and get it moving.
It would have been great content to se the wagon drive again😊
We will be back working on the Pontiac this summer and looking forward to it thats for sure
Its so old that just like it is with a hosing of course, and drive after a new clutch.... I have a feeling the lining is in the flywheel cover on the bottom like most had back in the day.. a mighty nice feature if you ask me. I don't think it should be restored if you have plenty to do... which means more than just escaping the shop for a few minutes. Those were nice rides... not a sedan delivery cause it has windows but some cool things are done with them if the frame isn't shot. I think that the wagons shared the same frame as the convertible. with the ex member. I'm a ford man but thats okay cause I heard that 85% of all the chevy rigs are still on the road today..... the other 15% made it home.
They are a neat car for sure and we would like to get to it one year thanks Morgan.
Sweet car boys,I'd trade a flannel shirt for it!
I will let Ryan know.
15:57 SHE'S ALIVEEEEEEE!!!!!!! 💪
That she is
Some of those Canadian Pontiacs had 261 six bangers in them...if I remeber right the 261 was standard on the Pontiac. Same basic engine as 235, was a truck engine, but in the pontiac it had hydraulic lifters.
Thank you for the info. If we look at it in the spring we will try and find out which it is.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms here is a Canadian kid from Vancouver who did a 55 laurentian ruclips.net/video/vNfp5GG6eRs/видео.html
1963 (16 age) my dad was transferred from Tulsa to Calgary. He worked for a drilling company. As an okie I had never seen canadian cars. The Pontiacs with 6 bangers and Chevy V8 were new to me. I also marveled at how many family cars had 6 cylinders.... then on reflection in town we had no freeways, and the speed limit on the TransCanada was like 60mph and in the wintwr faster driving was not safe. So 6cyl full size cars made perfect sense. And as always Canadians are known for their good sense. And BTW ARE THE MOST KIND AND POLITE FOLKS ON EARTH.
I am back in Oklahoma but I have great friends and love of Canada. You are very skilled and I really enjoy your videos
@@tombob671 Thank you Tom. We like hearing stories like that.
Looks like ‘70 mopar front seat. I need those headrests
The vacuum advance on the distributor actually moved the entire distributor for that model of six cylinder engine. It was not changed until the mid 60's to my knowledge. I had a 54 Chevrolet that had the 235 engine that worked the same way.
Thank you Joseph.
Man I would love to have that wagon. And it doesn’t do any good to pump the gas pedal when there’s no gas in the carburetor when you’re only pouring it through the top but other than that you guys are doing a great job I think that is so damn fun!
Thank you Alan.
Needs a 421 tri power!!!
That would work.
Like to see that back on the road . Can't believe it started . How long has it been there ?
It has been sitting for over 25 years, not sure exactly.
This would be a fantastic rod to build. Check out that one Puddin from Puddin's fab shop is working on. I like this car so much more. LS-ify it man :-) lmao Be killer after the Hank J car. Love the other Poncho you're building before winter kicked in as well. Yup, toss the 6 beater and save it for a go cart or a tractor lol Rod-ification Penny's style fo sho :-)
I do like this car alot and it is in the future in the spring time when the snow is gone ill be back on the white 61 Pontiac i have a bunch of new parts here for it already.
I know where there is a 1959 Chevy 2 door wagon in Mexico. I want to get my hands on it. It would make a great project.
A 59 would be cool.
Seams like a pretty rare car? Did you check out the production #s on that car?
We have not yet, but a guy on facebook said it is a Canadian built car only and less than 1000 were built.
I would buy you all a jacket for that car. She's a beauty. I think you're right . It will be a 230 or 235 or250. I had a '63 Laurentian in the 80's and iirc it had a 230/235.
And I'll buy a case of beer or2 and help you drink it.
@@brianhaw9398 Thank you Brian. A couple of us would like to get it up and moving in the future.
What is the car next to the wagon ? It looks like a Starchief. In the states the Starchief had 3 long star's onnthe rear quarters. If it's Canadian it could be a Parisienne or a Lauretian.
Its a Pontiac Lauretian 2 door sedan
How hard would it be to buy that car ? Do they sell complete cars. I collect full size Pontiacs. I have six 1966 cars and one 1964. That looked complete,but I didn't really see to much of it. Where is the yard ? I live been in Pennsylvania,in the US. Near Philadelphia. Thanks. Great video.
sorry the car isnt for sale and we will be working on in time soon. Im a big fan of Pontiacs and try to collect them.
Dude was like "l got sit in this fucking thing", so funny.
You can tell it was a young kid who had it...probably took the moonroof off a junkyard car..put a floor shift in it...I bet he and his friends had some good times in it....I’d love to restore it.
You are probobly correct doug.
now back in that heyday of the '80s mid-80s to the early 90s you could buy a sunroof and have down at your local warshawski or JC Whitney catalog and just put the thing in they were doing an all kinds of cars little pop-up sunroofs everywhere...
it was one of the crazes that didn't last too long because most of the time if you didn't seal the thing right it would leak like a sieve and ya drove with a towel on your head.
And the crazy irony is getting mechanical parts for a 1955-70 Canadian Pontiac big car's easier than ours south of yours. ^^^
That is crazy, not sure why?
@@pennyshotrodscustoms Cdn Ponchos were same era big Chevy based, down to the X frame from 1958-64, etc
Whatever became of this 1960 Pontiac 2dr wagon?
Well...I don’t know if this was one of GMs best sixes. The combustion chamber is bizarre, carried over from the thirties or maybe earlier. The later 230/250 c.i. sixes went more conventional.
O man that curved glass in the Back.
You got lots of cars there what will you start next because I love will it start video's Scott out in Alberta with Cold War Motors and Jonathan W out in North Carolina has some great will it start video's you should check them out they are great car channels anyway fire up another one
We have video on a Vega wagon coming soon.
I had a 75 chevelle that had same engine, have to say most reliable engine I had .
They were a very good engine i have had a few over the years and never let me down.
It's cool you're Canadian...I'm in Southern Ontario(originally from B.C.) and we're starting to get that cold damp SHITTY Ontario weather that is ugly Fall/Winter...this is a great car,had a buddy back in the early 80's had an awesome Buick 2 door wagon...V-6 4 spd...tried to buy it 1/2 a dozen times but he wouldn't sell it...keep up the crazy shit fellas...and find me a 1958 Chevy 2 door wagon or a 64 Rambler 287 V8 4 door wagon(the theme is I'm an old guy who likes old station wagons...lol)
If you like station wagons, the 2 door type. Stay tuned to a video coming soon, we take a look at 3 other 2 door wagons in the same yard. One is a 58 Chevy. But sadly not for sale.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms Sure,go ahead,tease me...lol.."there's a 58 , but it's NOT for sale"... You guys are great, I'll hang out for awhile... thanks
@@DocJ58-OCB I could tease you more by saying there is also a Rambler 4 door wagon not sure of the year, but it is rough i tell you ruff. Hit on the passenger side be a tractor many times.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms LMAO...I'm too OLD for something THAT damaged,my 1st car in 1973 was a 1964 Rambler Classic 4 door,258 straight 6 and a Torque Thrust 3spd automatic...p/s,p/b, and air...I'd love to find another one just like it only the AMC green instead of red and preferably with an AMC 287 c.i.d. or an AMC 327 c.i.d.engine and an auto...hard to find,but damn,I keep trying...
@@DocJ58-OCB Keep looking.
Yes pontiac did make and over head cam 6 but this looks like a chevy 235. 6 cylinder it's a rare one for sure
Under 1000 made.
The distributor is toward center of the block could it be a 292 ci
Think you might be right
As a pontiac guy id love to have that 60 wagon and that 66 2 dr star cheif post next to it.....to bad there a canadian model and not a u.s. model.....
We like the Canadian ones, but they are basically the same just have Chevy engines.
yeah the first time I seen a Chevy Beaumont man I said shit that looks like a Chevelle it was Chevy power too. 327
Man that car looks like a banner ha ha ha funny 😂😁😀
It's the Yellow Sub.
Pour in some gas its a pontaic its born to run dudes.
Yes it did run. We have a few more coming soon.
First two-door station wagon I've ever seen.
We have a few more coming up.
Where is this junkyard at im looking for a 68 delta 88 or 68 impala
Unfortunately nothing is for sale.
What is the 2 door sadan that is next to it, and where is it????>
Its a Pontiac and im sure we are a long way from you lol.
Good clean fun
Thank you Brian.
How about that Monza in the background. WIll it run?
pretty sure it will just think we are running out of time this year we have more videos to come thats for sure.
Pontiacs were usually 261 cubic inches while Chevvies were 235.
You are correct.
Where did you guys find that old girl . What state was this
We are in Manitoba Canada. It is a friend of ours.
Slantback even if there are verts out there i would love to have one someone stole my 68 delta 88 a while back.
Sorry to hear that .
@Robot 13 Absolutly.
