Yeah yeah I know its not a Ford

. I have three other Fords so dont worry, I just have a soft spot for Pontiacs for some odd reason lol. Its a '76 Pontiac Ventura with a '69 Olds 350 in it (originally had an Olds 260), the car is solid and the interior is great. Just has some minor ground issues that need sorted out.

I dont know how I do it but for some reason I always end up with another GM product. Oh well atleast it aint a Chevy;)

Its got some rust bubbles starting but the underneath is solid as can be. The rear right by the leafspring shackles and right where the front sub-frame bolted to body were notorious for rusting out on this platform. The guy at the car lot thought I was weird laying under the car checking for terminal rot lol.

I'll try and get some interior and engine shots tomarrow if it aint raining.

The car lot I bought it off of has a bunch of muscle cars, mainly pontiacs and mopars. They were asking $3,000 but after BS'ing about old cars for awhile the guy dropped it to $2500. Its just some little private owned car lot and the guy just kinda does this as a hobby.

Pretty nice for $2500! Whats the plan? You should make it a Ventura GTO, my dad had one way back when.

I thought of that, those cars were pretty slick. I'm thinking about tracking down a Pontiac 400 and putting it in there but this wont be until some time next year or so. I still gotta finish my Ranger and I have some plans for the Cougar still. The Ventura will probably just get a shift kit and gears in the mean time, its fast enough for now.

That will be plenty enough fun seeing as you don't see many Ventura's rolling down the street.
