Has anyone looked at this car on ebay #300620240071? Would the interior design on this car be standard for a custom? I just wondered if this is what mine should look like.
Thanks, Donnie

I don't think I've ever seen upolstery/pattern like that

Yes, that is the upgraded custom interior for 1961. Jewelitone Morrokide available in 4 different colors, Blue, green, gold, & red. Here is a pic of Pontiac Lady's interior on her 61. She has the same interior as my car but in much nicer condition.

Several interesting things with this car. It has a remote mirror on the drivers fender but I dont see the controller on the dash. Also note that some of the trim is missing from the cove on the right fender & the hood/frontend appears to be tweaked/out of alignment. The windshield washer res. is mounted on the right inner fenderwell. I have only seen it mounted there for cars with a 4 bbl carb but this car has a 1 bbl on it. If it had a 4 bbl, the air filter would be much closer to the left fender.

I just knew Keith would reply! I thought I remembered the interiors like that, BUT couldn't be sure.

Car is an automatic. Shifter indicator on the dash to the right of the ignition switch & the shifter is directly under that.

Question is only dumb if you dont ask it!!

[Old Goat 67]

You should get that, Keith. It has at least 450,000 miles left in it, right?

That's what I figured, but couldn't see it clearly enough.

Thanks.

Wouldnt have any place to put it & if I did bring it home, I would be sleeping in it!!!! Have never spent more than $600 bucks for a non running car. I spent $350 on a running/driving 62 LeMans & drove it home! Still have it.

[Old Goat 67]

Yeah, I have a lady like that also!

But, I think I may keep her, don't tell her because she thinks she is still on probation after 46 1/2 years!

Thanks Keith
I thought I remembered seeing that design somewhere just couldn't remember where. My car is Coronado Red so the color on the white car is probably like mine was originally. I noticed the tweeked front end and the windshild washer fluid container the same as my four barrell car and wondered. I suppose someone could have changed it to a 1 barrell at sometime.
