1961 Pontiac Catalina Convertible- partially restored-now out of money must sell. Runs but doesnât drive.

This engine is a screamer. Still needs transmission repair or replacement, exhaust manifold, new gas tank and gas lines, new or repaired transmission, new front window regulators, brakes and new electrical wiring. Body restoration is good but not concourse level. No r ust. Interior restored to the 1961 style book with maroon tuck and roll. No re-manufactured parts. All original. 1966 421 block will support a 'bolt-on' transmission newer than the 1961 which is in the car, manual 4 speed recommended, due to the power and rating of the engine. (421 was originally rated at 500 mph or more.) (The 1961 transmissions had issues freezing up from sediment in the filter.) Rag-top is new and works (manually of course). Engine converted to run on unleaded gasoline. Block was obtained 'off the line' from Pontiac at the time that Pontiac discontinued factory installation of the 421 and has never run in a car before- still being broken in. No extra parts available. Garaged and available to see in San Jose, CA, by request only. View youtube video of car at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrmo7R_W-E4
