Don't forget that keen photography, almost more pavement than car.
Speaking of, every shot shows the opposite door was left wide open??
Can't see what it might smell like in a pic.

Some people really suck at taking pics. You look through the camera...and you can't see that you only have the quarter panel in the viewfinder? No pic of the entire car?
I still like that little Ventura though. Sell the Chevy 350 and drop a 400-455 in there.

What’s the problem? He pulled the rear cover so you could verify the gear ratio and that it’s a posi.

yep, exactly.
oh but hang on - where the heck is the Ring Gear ?

He has a couple other rears too - same condition - and no cover.
A few things he has listed are decent pieces (Olds E-Code heads)

That cover has been off for some time while in the mud.

That’s crazy. I could barely get $400 for a complete disc brake rear end just a couple of years ago. And that’s Canadian $. Calgary is a very weird market anyways.

I’m hoping to find something like that when we get to fixing up our smashed up Tempest. Would have to be a ‘66 of course.
