1960 Pontiac Ventura For Sale
This 1960 Pontiac Ventura Sports Coupe beautifully blends classic
design with period-inspired custom craftsmanship. Originally a
high-trim version of the Catalina, the Ventura combined Pontiac's
wide-track stance with upscale details - and this example takes
that heritage even further with a full frame-off restoration and
bespoke styling touches throughout.
Power comes from a rebuilt 389ci V8 paired with an automatic
transmission and a 3.08 rear gear, all restored during the car's
complete mechanical overhaul. The chassis and underbody were
refinished to show quality, matching the exterior's attention to
detail.
The body showcases extensive custom work, including frenched
taillights, relocated reverse lamps, and shaved door handles with
electronic magnetic poppers and hidden emergency releases. The
front end wears 1960 Buick Electra headlights and a 1960 Chevrolet
Impala hood, complemented by a custom tubular grille with
integrated turn signals and parking lights mounted discreetly
behind it.
The show-quality finish was applied by House of Kolor Candi in
California in Candi Apple Red with subtle gold and black fades -
deep and vibrant under any light. Hand-painted pinstriping, etched
glass, and custom fender liners add to the car's one-of-a-kind
presentation.
Inside, the cabin is finished to an equally high standard,
featuring a custom interior with unique trim elements, an upgraded
stereo system, and custom trunk panels. The power antenna and
detailed trunk area continue the show-car level execution.
The car rides on air suspension front and rear, tuned to around 70
psi for a comfortable and composed ride. Braking is handled by a
modern four-wheel disc setup, with all pads measuring a strong
12/32.
With just 9,300 miles since its complete restoration, this Ventura
Bubble Top presents as a fully sorted and uniquely tailored
interpretation of a rare early-'60s Pontiac - equal parts showpiece
and cruiser.
