Thank you! Best way to get the details is here:

Not much has changed since then other than some miles and a chip or two here and there. I plan on driving her as much as possible so no matter

Nice car Phil!
I have 2 sisters that live around Greensburg, and I'm originally from N. Versailles Twp. I spent a lot of time up in that area, and Delmont through the years. Live in SC now since 85.
Welcome !

Welcome to PY from the east side. Nice car, been trying to hook up with a '74 GTO from a fellow near my work. Low mileage 4spd. He recently pass away and I feel odd asking about the car. Like the style of yours. Good Luck with it, and post often it's free LOL.

Greensburg, seriously? My grandparents (past away) and most cousins call Greensburg home. I grew up in Murrysville.

Welcome, nice Ventura!

I had a '73 in high school/college that was T-boned shortly after this picture was taken. Stumbled across the '72 by dumb luck and became obsessed with it.

Thanks, everyone!

That was a nice looking car. My brothers was plain jane stock, dog dish caps, bronze in colour. I was at an auction a few years ago with a Nova that had been built out of a Ventura!! Everyone there thought the guy was crazy for doing such a thing. It did not sell needless to say. I guess he figured there was more call for a Chevy than a Pontiac.
