Nature Rewards Power: 1968 Pontiac Ventura

, , 2

This next car is a California black plate equipped behemoth from another era. It has a 400 cubic inch V8 mated to a 3-speed auto and features a sickly shade of green on the out and in — and I love it. Is it a coupe? Or the pillarless hardtop?…No… wagon… nope…just a simple 4-door sedan, but that shouldn’t stop you front driving this old Poncho. Find this 1968 Pontiac Ventura offered for $6,800 in Richmond, CA via craigslist.

You’ll like it. I like it. 400ci. 3sp Turbo-Glide. Body not perfect. Non-A/C. 2 barrel Rochester. Lime Green front bench. Heavy Duty coils in back. 6.8K unless there’s a bidding war. pictures old / car about the same / little better: new quality paint on hood and trunk since then and springs.
