Vehicle Description
1973 PONTIAC VENTURA 2-DOOR COUPE. IF YOU BLINK YOU WOULD SWEAR ITS
A NOVA. THIS CAR HAS THE PONTIAC 400CI MOTOR IN IT (XC CODE) AND
ITS REALLY QUICK. IT DOES HAVE 350 BADGES BUT THEY WERE NEVER
CHANGED. THE MOTOR WAS REBUILT 3-4 YEARS AGO AND THERE WERE NO
MODIFICATIONS MADE TO IT. IT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE, EVEN STOCK. I CAN
LET THE CAR SIT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AND IT ALWAYS STARTS RIGHT
UP. THERE ARE NOT ANY UNUSUAL NOISES OF ANY KIND. IT DOES NOT BLOW
ANY SMOKE AT ALL. THE TRANSMISSION IS A STOCK TURBO 350 AND I DO
NOT KNOW IF ITS EVER BEEN REBUILT. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH
IT AS IT SHIFTS SMOOTH AND IT ALSO DOES NOT MAKE ANY WEIRD NOISES.
THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS REMOVED BUT THE COMPRESSOR IS INCLUDED
WITH THE SALE AS I DONT BELIEVE IT WOULD BE A BIG DEAL TO
REINSTALL. I PURCHASED THIS CAR ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE PREVIOUS
OWNER LOVED THIS CAR. HE HAD OWNED IT SINCE 1995. THATS OVER 20
YEARS. THE BRAKES ARE HIGH AND STRONG AS THEY ALSO DO NOT HAVE ANY
ISSUES. THE EXHAUST IS 6 MONTHS OLD AND ITS ALL STAINLESS STEEL.
THE CAR DOES HAVE FACTORY POWER STEERING AND THE ARE NO ISSUES WITH
THAT EITHER. OVER MY OWNERSHIP I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES AT ALL.
THE PAINT WAS DONE ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC. THE
PAINT WAS DONE IN A 2 STAGE FINISH BY A PROFESSIONAL SHOP AND IT
SHOWS. THERE WAS ALOT OF CLEAR APPLIED SO THE PAINT HAS ALOT OF
DEPTH. THE BODY PANELS ARE RAZOR STRAIGHT. THERE ARE NO WAVES AT
ALL WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN THE SIDES. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THERE WAS
LITTLE TO NO BONDO USED ON THE CAR WHEN IT WAS DONE. THE CAR WAS
ORIGINAL TAN AND THE PRIOR OWNER DID A COLOR CHANGE TO THE DARK
SLIGHTLY METALLIC GREEN. THE BUMPERS WERE NEVER RECHROMED ARE
PRESENTABLE: BUT DEFINITELY FAR FROM SHOW. THE REAR BUMPER IS
ACTUALLY BETTER THAN PRESENTABLE. THE INTERIOR IS AMAZING. THE
SEATS ARE FACTORY AND ORIGINAL. THEY DO NOT SHOW MUCH IF ANY WEAR.
A LITTLE BIT OF DISCOLORATION ON THE BACK CORNER OF THE DRIVERS
SEAT. THATS IT. THE DOOR PANELS AND KICK PANELS
