This is a super cool and rare Pontiac Ventura 4 door hard top / flat top.
Most of these flat tops were Catalinas or Bonnevilles. The Venturas were on the shorter wheelbase like the Catalina but had the higher priced trim level of the Bonneville. These old flat tops are in big demand right now for cruising around them in, and for long road trips.
When all of the side windows are down, it is almost like driving a convertible with a bimini top. Absolutely no blind spots anywhere. This car has always been garaged and only has 67342 original miles. Absolutely 100% rust free now and never, ever, had any rust.
Driveline: This car has the optional high performance 2 barrel 389 V-8 and the optional 4 speed hydromatic automatic transmission. Both run out very well with no issues. The only item that is not factory under the hood is the change to an alternator from the generator. Power brakes and steering. No A/C. It has newer Coker reproduction bias ply wide white wall tires all around. Brakes stop like new. It steers very easily. All new
exhaust. Body: The body has mostly original paint that is in very nice shape considering it's age. Still shines very well. There are some touched up rock chips, nicks, scratches as you should expect for an all original car.
The left front fender and trunk lid look like they may have been repainted years ago. Very good match if they were. All weatherstripping is original and in very good shape. Glass is all in very good shape and the side windows roll up and down like new. Doors close like new. Chrome and SS trim: All chrome and stainless steel trim is all in excellent condition. No pitting and no need for any money spent here unless you just want it shinier than it already is. The only
drawback is bumper condition. The chrome is excellent, but both have some small dents.
The rear is the worst. Front hardly noticeable. Personally, I don't think they are so bad to warrant a dent repair and re-chroming, but you can decide. Even the chrome around the windows is pit free. Interior: The interior is all original and is in excellent condition. No rips tears in the seats and the material is still very pliable. It has the tri-color scheme of the Bonnelvilles. All factory gauges work as they should, including the " green" cold light. The radio plays like new with no static. Dash chrome and paint is in excellent condition. Steering wheel has no cracks.
( real rarity ) The wipers work, but sometimes they do not shut off. Not sure if it is the switch or a timing problem with the wiper motor / blade positioning? I have it unplugged under the hood. All lights work including the back up lights. Carpet and headliner are very nice. Underside and trunk: The underside has some minor surface rust but absolutely no rust holes anywhere. Same with the trunk and floor pans. The original trunk mat and spare tire is still in the trunk area. All in all, this is a super nice original car. It is one of the best original cars I have owned. I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere or any distance.
