What's a rare '61 Pontiac lightweight worth?
I was approached about buying a 1961 Pontiac Ventura SD389 Tripower, aluminum bumpers (front & rear), race history, unrestored perfect survivor. I don't know these cars very well, or as well as the later '63 cars. Is there someone I can talk to who would know these values?
Thanks

There will be a restored one going through Mecum Indy in May, I know that that's quite a while from now, but I'm sure not many trade hands. It is a PHS documented lightweight.

Hey, is it black with blue bench, 8 lugs, 4sp car residing up north of Seattle? THAT car is an original 318hp/4sp car with the SD stuff added.....

Is the one you're thinking of an original with 1400 miles? I can't recall the interior color, but car was set up with Mickey Thompson's help, held a track record, etc.. Who is the owner of the car you know north of Seattle?

Ventura is the name of an interior option popular on Pontiacs, so we might be talking about a Catalina Ventura here.

Well, it was in '62 & 63 but in '61 the Ventura was a stand alone model.

Re: What's a rare '61 Pontiac lightweight worth?
Yep, my bad. Its a Catalina. When I saw "Seattle" and "61 Pontiac SD" my mind went to that black car. Of course the Ventura with that ritzy interior is another deal. Charlie, PM sent regarding current owner.
