So this is my '73 Pontiac Ventura Custom with the optional "Sprint" package.I bought it back in 2002 in non-running condition from an older man.I paid $100 for the whole car. It had 74k on it.

The car is numbers matching,all original(mostly),original Pontiac 350,original transmission,original fuel and brake lines,original steering components,original ball joints,original paint etc.


Since I've had it,I replaced the starter,windshield,distributor,coil,fuel pump,and plugs/wires.

The car came with headers bolted up already,and some '69 Camaro bucket seats(which are now bolted down).I swapped out the original 2bbl carb./intake with a 400ci pontiac four-barrel stock intake and a used Edelbrock carb.,runs like new,always starts on the first turn of the key!!
I also converted it from column shift to a new B&M floor shifter.I also added a chrome tach. and oil press.,volt,and temp. guages.

Just recently I bolted up a set of 16" Irocs with 245/55zr16" tires.The old tires were 30 years old and pretty dry-rotted.
The car also came with ALL the original owners manuals and booklets(seven all together) in mint condition with all crisp pages/edges!!!!!!!!!

On to the pics..........

Wow can't believe you got that for $100 in that condition! I like the wheels on there but the lift kit has to go and then it will look much better I think.
