Not cheap but who wouldn't L<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gifVE a '61 Post TriPowered W-motor/Stick car, especially if a real factory built car!!!
I don't know the car or seller but it's up here in Canada so GM Vintage docs may be available if Canadian built or US built and sold new through a Canadian dealer..
If all's legit, maybe it is cheap?.

----I wonder which 348 tri-power it is. If its a 350/348 its worth the coin all day long. Very sweet looking ride. All you post-lovers.....Watch the drool!!!.......Bill S

That would be an extremely nice original find. The paint and trim looks awfully good for 100K+mi though......
And what the heck is an alternator doing on it?

I would bet the original owner decided to upgrade over the past 50 years. That alternator was probably added during the 60's or 70's if I had to guess when ...

It WAS just a car back then, HIS car that HE was driving <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

It's '61 Post week here in Canada w/ drivetrain choices as besides the W-car available above there's also a BelAir 6-Cyl. and the seldom seen Impala Post car w/ a 283, click below..

I love '61 Posts and my dream car a Canadian built factory W-Powered '61 Pontiac Strato-Chief 2-Dr. Post Utility-Sedan!.
You guys do know the last W-Motor cars ever built were Canadian '65 Pontiacs right?.

How late in the model year did Canada build W motor '65s Pete? US plants built them into January, then there were no big blocks available until the 396 was released.

Is there anything on the front grill or rear that helps identify what motor came in these cars?
...I have a friend that has on that is a post car.... I think it has a gold &quot;V&quot; on the front grill.

...Neat cars <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif
