Drive shaft might be 3 feet long. With that short wheelbase "Rides like a Cadillac" my foot, more like a po-go stick on wheels.

That DE RAM AIR "vanity" plate isn't worth what he's asking. Maybe worth 500.00 and that's a lot. I've seen it at a few shows the past several years on a Firebird.

It's not even "Exempt".... a classic car plate where you don't have to pay for the registration (1st time out you do) every 1 or 2 years, and no state inspection every two years. The only drawback is you can only go to a repair shop or cars shows. It's written on the registration slip. So if you're only out for a joyride thru the week, you probably will be stopped and probably will get a ticket too. I've seen it happen to a guy driving a 58 Olds in the middle of the week.

The lower the numbers on original black DE plates can be worth very big bucks. I have a original black plate that's maybe worth 2000.00. But that's only if someone wants it bad enough. One guy had a low numbered 3 digit black plate that he sold for $400,000.... true... a big company here bought. No not DuPont. LOL 1 and 2 digit plates go for even more.. way more. You can even have a regular 5 digit ptate switched to a black plate, but they aren't worth nearly as much as an original.

Considering the care shown with their storage method, no doubt it was well cared for when it wasn't "pulled from body".

As much as I love 75-77 Venturas, I'd have a hard time justifying $5000 for this, even if it is fairly clean. Maybe the price is a tip off that it's really got an SD block in it.... On the other hand,

it was originally a V6
This is an indication the seller isn't exactly well versed in the details of this car, as a V-6 wasn't available in Venturas till 1977.
I'd still check it out though, if I was within 50 miles.

So the most valuable part of the car is the engine .... and they have one crappy picture of it, and a dozen pictures of the body which is worth nothing.

My tag actually has four sixes, then my initials .... and it's not a vanity plate, just a random chance.

I knew you could tune a fish but I didn't even know you could tune a wrench.
I do like what he's saying though. Not a terrible looking project actually.
