Something like this would be ideal for me, if it's as solid as it looks.  I don't think I will ever repair a rustbucket, but have no problem with doing mechanical/function things to make it a nice driver/cruise night car.

Great price, but alas too far away (plus the country is going into another covid shutdown).  Hopefully it gets picked up by somebody wanting to put it back on the road.  For that price around here it would probably end up as somebody's parts car.

From the ad:

Barn find 61 Pontiac with 27500 original miles almost always stored inside since new equipped with the Pontiac 261 inline 6, 3 speed colum shift this car runs and drives. Recent work includes new coolant hoses, thermostat, carburetor rebuild, fuel pump and oil sender. It requires more work for it to be a good driver again such as Tires, all 4 brake cylinders ($20 ea from Rockauto) , brake master rebuild or replacement ($69 at Rockauto) and it will need the fuel tank to be removed and cleaned/relined. I have to many other projects to keep this one, this car is overall very solid with only minor rust in likley common spots for these cars please see pictures for details otherwise car has good stout floors and body panels.

Shipping is available across Canada and maybe USA at buyer expense. The car is Saskatchewan plated/titled. For serious enquiries only please call or text for details/photos @ 1-306-313-one887 Asking $2850 or best offer

 

 

 

Just checked out the photos in the link he included, and yes, it appears pretty complete and plenty solid!  Some rust repair required but nothing too crazy, from the look of things.  Perhaps someone more well versed in X-frame cars (like Don) can speak to it, but it looks good to me.

The strato looks incredible underneath. 

Carl, since you already have a 4 door G8, Im giving you permission to resto mod this 61 with the goodies from the G8. Be a nice driver with your seats, suspension, brakes, drivetrain. Unless you would drop a 427 4 speed in there. 5 speed would make it better on fuel. I know you dont have room for another car, so making 2 out of one would work? And youd be so much more stylish.

Carl, could you please buy this for me. I've been a good boy.

That's all I need

Repair any open rust, make the suspension, brakes and driveline 100%, clean and paint the wheels, new whitewalls, correct dogdishes, detail up the interior a bit, add a new carpet, oil spray, tune up and hit the road.

Then later, find a better rear bumper.

 Perfect, then just buff it. Set of chains for pei winter driving.

 I checked with my financial advisor and she says it's not in the budget.  Sorry Mark, looks like a lump of coal for you again this year.

Youve got a 65 2 door post, a 67 4 door HT, with a 61 4 door post, a 63 2 door HT, youd only need a 69 say convertible to have a complete 1960s odd year Pontiac collection. Ever think of that?

Funny how the mind works after 3 years of retirement and almost 2 years of Covid?

Im currently in Ottawa enjoying Winnipeg like weather too.

This is how you sell a car! Great pics and good description! Just look at how clean that firewall is....and the rest of the car! Comes with spare V belts too...... Heater core is shot I take it?...
