Still for sale. Where is those big spenders when I need them? Maybe that's only at the auctions.

I know you like the Cats but it seems the really big buck 61s are bucket seat Venturas?Tom

You are probably correct but I collect what I like and from a personal taste I don't even like the flashy bucket seat Venturas. I know guys that have paid 5 and 6k for a set of bucket seats that need restored. To me real muscle cars had bench seats. I guess maybe thats why I still have it? George Poteet would like the car but he wanted an automatic in it instead of the 4 speed.

Nice car. Actually you were pretty close the first time. The Bonneville is 217" bumper to bumper on a 123" wheelbase. The Catalina is 210" bumper to bumper on a 119" wheelbase. As you said the length is in the trunk lid and the panel between the rear glass and the trunk lid. 7" length is a lot of difference !
