here's the link (from SSD): http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/catarina.html

It was estimated at 75kts for 30hrs before landfall. It's not very accurate due to the lack of appropriate sats in the southern hemisphere, but it matches up with on-shore reports. Dvorak even got to 4.5/4.5. And in March, too. Great animations at the bottom.

Bret in 1993 mad elandfall in Venezuela and killed more than a hundred in Caracas. Joan and Cesar also devastated Venezuela. It's not as uncommon for a storm to have a significant impact on South America as one may think

Yes. In 1996, Hurricane Cesar crossed over Nicaragua and became Hurricane Douglas in EPAC, strengthening to a Cat 4 in the EPAC.

I found it. 1988 Joan hit Central America at 120kts and weakened to 45kts. She then turned into Miriam in the EPAC, who restrengthened to 60 kts, brushing the S coast of Mexico and weakening again to a TD which she was for 6 days. Image shortly.

edit: But it looks like I got beat to it.
