'61 BelAir 348/4-Spd 2-Dr. Post
 

Not cheap but who wouldn't L[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]VE 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

Man, that is so tempting.

Re: '61 BelAir 348/4-Spd 2-Dr. Post
 

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 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

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.

Re: '61 BelAir 348/4-Spd 2-Dr. Post
 

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 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]
