1962 Pontiac 389 Set Of 8 Forged Rods on 2040-parts.com
Bend, Oregon, US
1962 Pontiac 389 FORGED RODS - set of 8 - removed from a 1962 Bonneville 389. Nothing has been done to these rods since pins were pressed out of pistons. They have not been cleaned or shot peened. We did wire brush one a bit to see if light surface rust would come off and it did. Engine as standard bore with all 8 original GM marked pistons. Engine had not run for many years. There was water rust evidence in 3 of the cylinders between the heads and the piston top, and it appeared it had suffered leaking head gaskets. We pulled the heads for parts for another rebuild. We know nothing more about these forged rods other than they are found only in 62 and prior engines and are somewhat rare now. Sold complete set "AS IS" Pictures show all 8 in #1, and each picture set of two thereafter shows each side of a pair of rods so you can view all of them totally. 541-480-9200
"IF IT WAS A OE STOCK PART ON A 62 THROUGH 66 PONTIAC FULL SIZE CAR OR A 73-76 GRAND PRIX, WE PROBABLY HAVE IT" 541-480-9200

Holden Hurricane returned to glory
Wed, 19 Oct 2011Holden, the Australian arm of General Motors famous for its thumping V8-powered super-saloons, has lovingly restored its first-ever concept car from the late 1960s. Debuting at the 1969 Melbourne Motor Show, the sleek Hurricane concept was a mid-engine, rear-drive, two-seat sports car that embodied a variety of conceptual technologies that were years – decades even – ahead of its time. The Hurricane featured a digital instrument display, station-seeking radio and automatic temperature control air conditioning.
