'72 Pontiac Ventura, Original Paint, Clean Oregon Car

[scuncio]

I always liked these as alternatives to a Nova of the same year.... With the 6-cylinder, it's a good candidate for a big-hp engine swap, and no need to touch the cosmetics - cool sleeper material.

Very cool...

Since it already has 3 pedals and a rubber floor it is the perfect candidate for a big motor and 4 speed. Maybe a 455HO with an M22 and a 12 bolt posi rear :tongue:
You could always go with a Chevy motor, but a high horse Pontiac setup would be better. It would be neat to find a 69 era 428HO and build from there...

:beers:

Did someone say 428 ?

What a cool car. You could drive it as is until you decided what to do with it.

A friend of mine has one but his now has a 455.

Love it too, thanks again Tony for always sharing the cool stuff!
A big Poncho engine w/ 4-Spd. would be perfect also love the '74 GTO Hood & Shaker above, just needs SD decals?:hmmm:
:beers:

I had a 73 from 1980-1987. Great car, never let me down. This would be a great builder as suggested.

I bought this 74 in July. Only 15k miles, so it will stay stock.

This was at MCACN

Always makes me chuckle how Pontiac just took the existing Nova taillight look and simply stretched it, no appearance change

Everytime this vintage Ventura is talked about, I always go here:
