Seller Description

1976 Pontiac Ventura
This car was originally purchased on October 31, 1975, at
Birchwood Motors in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It was given a rustproofing by Ziebart at the
time of purchase and has never had any rust. The original owner drove it very
sparingly, until 1993 when she moved overseas and left the car in the care of
her daughter and son-in-law. The car was parked in a heated garage, where it
remained for most of the next 18 years, largely untouched. It was briefly moved
outside of the garage on a few occasions, one of which resulted in some minor
hail damage. The car also suffered some minor dings and dents due to objects
falling on or against it inside the garage.
In May 2011 we purchased the car from the daughter of the
original owner, last insurance tags were 1993, and the odometer showed 27,325
miles. All safety related items were inspected and repaired or replaced at this
time to make the car roadworthy and reliable, these included new brake rotors,
calipers, pads, wheel cylinders, shoes, steel lines, shock absorbers, exhaust,
all heater and radiator hoses, tires, (original B.F. Goodrich tires were still
on the car), etc. All fluids were changed, including transmission,
differential, brake fluid, engine oil, coolant, and the fuel tank was removed
and flushed out, fuel pump, radiator, water pump, thermostat, valve cover
gaskets, belts and battery were replaced, plus complete tune up, new plugs,
wires, cap and distributor rotor installed. Carburetor was rebuilt at this time as well. The carpet was replaced due to
mildew, and the headliner, commonly problematic to this era of GM was also
replaced.
The car has travelled approximately 10,000 completely
trouble-free miles since that time, receiving a professional base/clear repaint
in 2016. The originality of the car has been maintained as best as possible,
including the original spare tire, which has never been installed on the car.
The interior remains as built in 1975, never restored, except as noted, the
front bench seat has had a minor repair done where the seam split. The dash has
never been altered or cut, the original AM radio remains as installed, though
is non-functional. The only notable alteration from stock is the addition of a
dual outlet muffler, which was optional at the time. All glass is factory
original, windshield has had stone chip repairs, wheel covers are original
deluxe style full wheel covers.
The original, numbers matching 260-cubic inch Oldsmobile V8,
with a two-barrel carburetor, (Rochester Dualjet), mated to the original
Turbohydramatic 350 3 speed automatic transmission remains in perfect running
condition. The car is equipped with a 10-bolt open differential featuring 2.56
gears. Options include cloth seat inserts, tinted windshield, AM radio, power
steering, power brakes, landau vinyl top, intermittent wipers, and rear
defroster.
