Default 1961 Catalina Bubbletop, 4 speed, 3X2s

Just finishing up a complete frame off resto on a rust free Catalina bubbletop. Original numbers matching engine completely rebuilt, correct dated Tri power and Borg Warner 4 speed. The 4 speed and Tri power were added before restoration by previous owners. The carbs were professionally restored and plated by Jon Havens. Complete SMS interior, all 5 eight lugs are with the car. Radio delete, 3:90 posi. I believe these 61 bubbletops are the best looking Pontiac ever built. If there is photos needed that aren't shown just ask I may have them already. Priced at $60,000 if interested message or call 217-620-3405

That is ultra nice. 61 Cat is the best looking GM “big” car ever made. This one reminds me of the black /red 62 4-speed Prix my departed friend and mentor had. He taught me there were cars other than Corvettes.

Best of luck with the sale.

Thanks for the compliments, I am very partial to the Catalina in particular out of the 61 Pontiac line up. Bonneville's were 8 inches longer and Ventura has an excessive amount of chrome for my taste. I am working on Catalina bubbletop number 2 and it will be different in that it will have the super duty hood scoop, factory 62 cast iron super duty headers, Hurst slicks and Hurst front runners, deletes on the radio, heater, back lights and the ash trays and this time dog dish caps.

Correction, I stated the Bonneville was 8 inches longer but I just looked it up again and it is 4 inches longer, not 8. 119 inches wheel base on Catalina and Ventura and 123 inches on the Bonneville. All the extra length is in the trunk area.

----Mick,,,Question for you about this gorgeous 61. Are the separate air cleaners correct or should there be a big single (for Tri-Power) air cleaner. Seems I have seen both ways and would like to know from someone who really knows. Wish I had space for this 61 as it pushes all my buttons......Bill S

It should have the big single air cleaner but frankly I just don't like the looks of the big air cleaner covering the top of the engine. Most of the time the little singles ended up on them anyway. This car also originally had power steering but I pulled it and went with the manual steering because the power steering pump on these cars always looks like an after thought. They were mounted right up on top with hoses in the way and besides the car steers easily as is with the big steering wheel.
