Early '70s Ventura II 4-door

[Engine-Ear]

Looking for an early '70s Ventura II 4 door sedan to drive.

Must be very clean, original, turn-key...no projects or rusty sh!tboxes.

Prefer bare-bones car with an inline 6.

This is neither valuable nor collectible. That said, I will pay fair money for the right one.

Tanx guys.

Still lookin...

[se428bandit]

You have a PM.

[Engine-Ear]

se428bandit, I emailed the seller 2x - no reply.

Really prefer a 6-powered example, anyway.

[Engine-Ear]

Been 4 weeks so BTTT.

If anyone @ the GTOAA or POCI conventions sees such an animal, please let me know!

[Engine-Ear]

...an udder four weeks have gone by, so back up it goes!

[Engine-Ear]

Still lookin'...Back to da top!

I have a 72 parts car so, if you find what you want and need something for it, keep me in mind.

The search continues.

'71-'74 Ventura II 4dr, 6 cyl, 3-speed-stick optionless orphan preferred.

You should instead get a 71-73 Wag and do a Pontiac V8 swap and a 68 Jeepster Commando BOP TH400 4x4 transmission that had the Buick V6 so you can retain 4x4 behind the Pontiac power :)

[camerjeff]

Its V-8 powered, but it looks to be very solid and original, that and it is the only 4-door I could find!!!!!

Or much Closer to you, if you can go for a 73 this might be it, Ad does not give much info

Thanks!! I am going to call him today. Will update this thread accordingly.

[se428bandit]

PM sent Matt.

[Engine-Ear]

The one in Crump TN isn't gonna cut it... thanks, se428bandit, for helping me with leads. I will look into the latest one you sent me (by PM).

[Engine-Ear]

After sitting behind the wheel of one, I decided to seek something else...not enough legroom.

Thanks for everyone's contributions.

Matt,

You might want to look into a 73-77 LeMans, Grand LeMans or a 73-75 Grand Am 4dr, they have good front legroom.

Thanks, Dave - I follow some of your threads and those cars do seem like good choices. For sentimental reasons, I am going to explore the universe of available '64 Tempest Custom more-doors.

Hey Matt, sounds like you are no longer interested in the early ventura, but I came across this and I'll pass it on, just in case.

Wow that would have been GREAT, but as I said, they don't have the leg room I need (especially after the crash, I need to be able to stretch 'em out!)

Thanks anyway, T.
