What's a rare '61 Pontiac lightweight worth?

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?

Sure it isn't a Catalina ?

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.

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.
