1976 Pontiac Ventura coupe
I’m back in the Pontiac club with this sweet little Ventura! 44,500 original miles! Olds 260/metric/7.5 driveline runs great but we need a lil gumption.. warmed up Pontiac 350/350/8.5 -3.23 combo going in sometime soon. Starting to get it looking better and go through the car to make it roadworthy.. needs tires really bad lol. Super stoked to be back in a Pontiac thx gus

Had one in a similar colour. Leaf springs came up through the trunk. WI car
I always thought a T/A 403 would be the ticket?

Those look like a big Astre to me. Always wanted a hatchback version. Good luck with it.

My mom had an Omega with the itsy bitsy 260. Great little car, WAY better than the Aspen station wagon she had next.

Look forward to pawning off some extra parts to this project. I recently reacquired the 78 W72 4 spd 400 Formula we had before and it has a temporary low mileage 74 350 in it that is around 50k miles and I just pulled a set of 54k mile 66 092 389 heads off the Star Chief engine that are not going back on it so that would make a good solid 9.5:1 on the 350 , a simple 068 HO cam with a set of 4 tube second gen F headers with a good converter and gear change should run and drive real solid in that Ventura !
