Found myself a '72 Ventura
 

on craigslist and it was delivered today. Car came from a guy in Parrish,Alabama and he delivered it to,can't get much better than that. These pics were taken at his house.

It's a Pontiac 350,turbo 350,originally was (43) Springfield green (now black) with green interior,15x7 rally's with new center and trim rings,tires are brand new but to me they are way to small. Showing 69,000 miles,thinking maybe only 69,000 are on it from the interior being in decent shape. It sat for 10 years after the owner died. I will post some better pics after i clean it up.

Nice looking car. Enjoy

wow very nice! lazer straight and black!

Sharp Nice Car !

SWEET RIDE! Grats!!

Keep it bone stock, it is rare to see Venturas at all these days! :=)

nah, do a lil somethin to it like- full back half, funny car cage, strut frt end, 535, tiger heads, 800 roller, sheetmetal 2 braswells ect ect ect. somethin a lil mild like that :)

Well, thats ok as long as the Ventura front end stays, no Nova grilles!

Well 7 years later and ole girl has been through some changes. I can't believe i'm actually thinking about selling it. My Ventura went from black with green interior to Lucerne blue and sandlewood. And from the 350 2 bbl with 2 flat camshaft lobes to having a 550 hp 467.

Nice looking V-II! What seat is that with the floor shift cut-out? What is the drivetrain too? I love the shaker hood on it...does a '74 GTO hood work on the 72's and earlier fenders, front grille header, etc?

Sorry for all the questions...Dennis

It's the original seat that I had cut out for a floor shifter that I never put in, I ended up leaving it column shift. The drivetrain is a butler performance 467, turbo 350 with a PTC 3000 stall and a 3.23 gear.
The fender are the same on a '72 so the hood was a perfect fit. When I changed to the GTO nose and grills is where I ran into a problem of the hood release is in a different location. My '72 is in the grill and the '74 is in the bumper.

I'll have to look, but I might have the hood release for a 72 That you can have.

Wow, an old post where owner still has car! Glad it has Ventura nose/grille still, and shaker hood.

Did you sell the car yet ?

I have a PY member thinking of doing a trade but nothing concrete yet.

Please let me know if the deal doesnt work,as I am interested. Thanks, Jim
