76 Pontiac Ventura, GTO Clone, Pontiacs version of the Nova. 260 V8, automatic, bucket seat console car, originally an A/C car, compressor long gone. Runs and sounds great, new carburetor, water pump,plugs, wires. New Flowmaster exhaust, new front coilover shocks, rear air shocks, new tires with less than 1000 miles. Just replaced the passenger window. Rebuilt the front end to include the center link, and had Pep Boys align the front end. Has old school Lakewood traction bars. Dixieco hood tach, not wired up yet. All gauges work! I drive the car about 100 miles a week because its just cool! This is what the car will eventually need, when I replaced the window I should have replaced the channel but didn't. Also I didn't notice the upper control bushings needed replacing but do, still drives 70 mph without a shake. Last is one of the power steering hoses is leaking a bit and will need replacing down the road. Body isstarting to show some bubbling from the older restoration.This is not a perfect car but it is priced great for a classic driver. Is registered, insured and titled in my name.Also doors are sagging, I have new door pins and bushings that will go with the car.
