Actually, Bob was along on the recovery as co-pilot and technical advisor. The 261 is mine, not for sale at the moment unless you are feeling rather generous. But I now have a late style 235 that the 261 has made redundant. Keep watching - you never know what will appear, I found the 261 on Kijiji listed as "1961 Pontiac 261". I hope you can find an engine close to you to keep shipping costs down. The 261 seemed like a bargain to me for $400 including a cast iron powerglide transmission. It was complete from fan to transmission output, included air cleaner, starter and generator. Without testing I don't know the conditionfor sure, but the previous owner removed it last fall to convert to a V-8 and said he was happy with it except that the V-8 had pretty much been given to him and he wanted to make the car more like what he'd driven when younger.
