Attention-Getter!!!
"Hello, here are some pics of our original unrestored 71 Ventura Sprint. Still running the original 307 engine. Car is originally a 3 speed on the floor with bucket seats. Currently has a Muncie 4 speed. All original paint, vinyl top and interior. After sitting for 20+ years in a friend's garage, a simple reseal of the 60,000 mile engine and some new tires, it’s back on the road again. I did install a mild cam, intake and carb etc…but it’s still the stock long block. It had a 12 bolt with 4.88’s in it for the last 20+ years. I just recently re-installed the original 10 bolt with 3.08’s so I could drive it a farther distance. I left the 4 speed Muncie in the car, the original 3 speed Saginaw sits on the shelf. It has some weird options like a map light rear view mirror and rear window defogger, and of course the Sprint package, buckets seats etc…but it came with manual drum brakes and manual steering.
"Now that the car is back out of retirement it’s amazing the response it gets. I also have an SS 454 Chevelle as well as a 1970 Formula Firebird, but this old Sprint grabs the most attention, kinda funny, 20 years ago nobody gave a hoot about it. Anyway, thanks again. Can’t wait to see it up on your site. Larry and Doris Jones hotrodjones@bullerinetworks.net " I guess all we can do when we see a car like this is drool and let the pictures do the talking...! -Ro
Too Cool in Blue
"Couldn’t figure out
where to email pics of my Pontiac!...It’s a 1978 Pontiac
Phoenix has 53,000 original miles on the 305 and turbo 350, its undergoing an
engine & trans swap as we speak, putting a 5.3 out of an 01 Silverado along with
a 4L60E overdrive trans.
"Future plans are to install an 88mm turbo on the 5.3 and
put some 275 Drag Radials out back with a cool set of beadlocks, all while still
retaining the stock bench seat interior, and I don’t want to cut the car up so
I'm going to try and not mini tub it or cage it, probably just a bolt in rollbar.
Its one of the nicest Pontiac Phoenix’s I’ve ever seen, and I'm glad I acquired
it a couple of years ago... cool site you have here.

" For some reason, the Phoenix wears this light
blue metallic extremely well, especially in conjunction with the tinted windows.
Great industrial setting for the photos, too!
Prowling the Back
Streets
"I have kinda been sitting in the dark with the
Ventura
because it isn't a very popular car, but I love it and it's my baby. I have
had the car for 4 years, bought it from a collector who had done some stuff
to it but nothing major. I have redone the motor bay because it hadn't been
touched since 1975. I have Jegs aluminum alloy rims, the rears are 15x10 with
drag street tires and the fronts are 15x4. I have many plans for the car, and if you would like to know anything else just let me know!!! Joshua Dachtler
JoshuaDachtler@gmx.com "
Here's another great example of how a couple of careful
changes can turn a so-called grocery-getter into something a lot more
interesting. And I'd have to give the nod to Joshua's first shot as the
best-posed photo this time around, it could be a magazine cover shot!
Ventura Wears Viper Blue
"I just
came across your really cool site and wanted to send some pics of my 1974
Ventura. I purchased this car in August of 2008; after seeing it on craigslist
for about 2 months I finally decided to check it out for myself. It had 35 years
of door dings on it and the interior needed attention, but it had one of the
most rust-free bodies I have seen for a car of this era, which was the deciding
factor for me on purchasing it. The seller claimed that the 37,000 miles showing
on odometer was the original mileage( but could not fully document the fact
although he had a folder full of receipts and also the original owners manual).
"I brought it home and sent it out to the body to have door dings smoothed out and a fresh coat of viper blue pearl paint. I also sent the front and rear seats to have recovered in classic blue vinyl, installed new carpet and cleaned all panels and dyed them. I swapped out the original 14" Pontiac rally wheels for a set of Bogart gold star aluminum rims. Next I installed a posi track in the original 10 bolt rear end with 3.42 gears. The car has the original Pontiac 350 engine with 2 barrel carb that runs strong, I swapped out the 2 barrel for an Edelbrock intake and Quadrajet carb. I bought a 455 engine from a friend that I plan on putting in the car. The car is a joy to drive and always turns heads and gets compliments wherever it goes. Thanks for your site, Jose joseluv408@aol.com (P.S. this car may be for sale)" No small wonder the car turns heads, that electric blue paint sucks your eyeballs in like a black (blue?) hole!
Award-Winning Effort
"Roland, went to my first car show last week and took second place... here is a

Seldom-Seen Buick Apollo GSX
Craig Geske (
c_geske@earthlink.net ) provided these very nice detail shots of
a Buick Apollo he spotted at a car show (he believes it was equipped with the
standard 6-banger), plus another photo of a different GSX
in a driveway. He also pointed out an Oklahoma GSX on ebay that came up
for sale, but I saved those pics for another time. Meanwhile he's got his own
blue '73 Apollo in work (it's in our Archives), check out his creative
car-crafting below:
"(My) 73
Buick Apollo is being stripped, painted Saturn Yellow with 1971 GS hood
scoops (plumbed correctly), with black hood, red trim on hood, the
side stripes are to be 74 Apollo. We are changing to 4 custom port holes, car has buckets from 76
Skylark, console from 1975 Park Ave
with 1976 shifter in it. Also has AC, PS, PB, sunroof suncoupe, am/fm,
rear defrost, power hatch, air shocks, 455, 375b&m trans, Electra drive shaft
and 3.73 rear. Black out grill and headlight trim. We hope to have
it out soon, will
make GS guys wonder as it will be all Buick, GS parts, and real Saturn Yellow on
'wrong' car. OHH I have the tent for the hatch back too! -Craig"
A Pair Of Ponchos (But Only One For Sale!)
A gent by the name of Sam recently
advertised his white Ventura for sale on the site but didn't give any details on
the gorgeous 74 GTO parked just behind it. Thought it was a nice shot
anyway and worth keeping for our ever-expanding archives, especially because of
the GTO's uncommon color. -Ro
1974 Revisited...
You might recall seeing this lovingly-restored '74 Ventura sedan previously, but
I'd misplaced these particularly nice photos. This restoration was
dedicated to owner Mike Santos' dad, and these pics were taken in front of
Mike's mother-in-laws house after its very first road trip after the
restoration.
More, Please! 
Mike's got an ad on the site, selling stickers to replace the metal 1972
script-style "Ventura II" emblem. He included these views of his very
sharp 1972 Ventura Sprint, and if we're lucky maybe he'll drop us a few more
complete photos of the car in the future. You can email Mike at
mcbear350@yahoo.com
if
you need some of these stickers.
Troy at the Track
"I posted pics of
my wife and I's 72 and 76 Venturas a few years back and have a couple updated
pics for the 72. We still have the 76 but haven't really done much with it.
Everything is still pretty much the same with it except for a hood off of
another Ventura and some new suspension pieces after having lightly hit a cow
and it going on my hood and sliding off running away.
(Troy is
so nonchalant about this...I'm sure the cow is glad he has a 'light' touch at the wheel...)
"We've been pretty busy with the 72, we pulled out the original 307/350 combo
and installed a 350/700R4. We run it at the dragstrip (1/8th mile) now mostly, with some weekend cruising here and there.
Some of the changes include: a Jegster header/ back exhaust, 3.08 gears in the
diff (for now), Summit aluminum roller rockers 1.6 ratio (stock OEM replacement
cam), Edelbrock Victor Jr intake, a 600 cfm vacuum secondary Holley I bought from
an online bud for $100, and an HEI distributor.
"The wife has done some work to the paint to keep the car from getting rusty.
We
like the pattern of the paint, so when we get to doing the whole
car with body work, the paint scheme will be relatively close to the pics. The wheels are off of an 80's model
RS Camaro, and we have 2 sets, 1 set has the
street tires on, and 2 have M/T drag radials, which leaves 2 more wheels for
spares. Still a work in progress, will post more as it comes along. Thanks for the great site for us
Ventura lovers. Troy Smith tnsmith10@hotmail.com

lucky guys with the Understanding Wife who actually participates in the hobby.

It's No Drag Spotting Another Cool Omega at the Strip
"...Dalton here again keeping an eye out for great x-bodies. While at the 2009
Lucas Oil Division 5 ET finals in Topeka, KS on Sept 20th I spotted this
beautiful drag car. It's a 1973
Oldsmobile Omega. You can see it has a vinyl top. I was never able to see this
thing run. It looks really good with the skinnies up front and is a very clean
car. It has Omega motor sports stickers on it. The name on the car is Steve
Rogers, I am not for sure where he is from either. Anyway it is a very
beautiful and rare car to see at the track. Dalton Mick

Even though Dalton's a Ventura
guy, he can appreciate the other makes as well... wonder if he's got a soft spot
for Novas, too? :-) But we sure do appreciate his sleuthing around at
these events, he's turned up some pretty cool cars in the past.

Bone-Stock
Buick Barn Find
"I found your
site while searching for parts for my latest project, a 1978 Buick Skylark,
named 'Joyce' by the previous owner. She has 65,000 miles on the clock, all
original, even the paint. Original 3.8L V6 purrs like a kitten, averages 23
MPG! Sweet vinyl top, too! Recent additions: Coil-over shocks (sits much
better), new tires, and I'm having a local radiator shop fabricate new A/C
hoses (it's the only system on the car that doesn't work!).
" I own a restoration shop in Scottsville, NY just outside Rochester. We opened in 1990, and specialize in classic vehicles. The vintage foreign car scene is huge here, so we do about 75% Volkswagen, Porsche, MG, etc.. The Buick is a project I pulled out of a barn in Lima, NY. I am the third owner. Previous owner had it for 8 years total, and had stored it for 4 years, hoping her son would want the car. He never took an interest, so she contacted me and asked if I would like to buy the car. They rolled it out in April 2009, and (surprise) it wouldn't start, even with a new battery.
"I needed a change of pace from working on imports, so I took a gamble and bought the car for $1100, having never heard it run. The starter had seized, but the car was CLEAN, and the wiring and other mechanical items were in great shape (VERY little wear on this car!). After one new starter, several gallons of good fuel, and a bottle of carb cleaner for good measure, she fired right up! Easy project, and one to enjoy, because I drive it daily during summer months.
"Many of the
posts on your Buick Apollo/Skylark pages mention the rear bumper filler
being rotted out. Mine is no exception- it becomes very brittle and breaks
apart leaving an unsightly gap. I would like
to pass along this source, to those looking for these all-important pieces:
www.replica-plastics.com They
reproduce TONS of the factory bumper filler pieces for GM cars, including
Pontiac. They have a lifetime warranty, and are made of much stronger
materials. Thanks for

Nice Guy, Evil Ride
Hey, I
love your website, all of the x-body cars look great! Well I thought I would send
you a few pictures of my 1976 Pontiac Ventura. Some history on the car: I
bought the car 3 years ago from a 93 year old lady in Colorado Springs, it was
all original with a 350 Buick engine and 350 T.H. trans, with 90,xxx miles on
it. A year ago a lady ran into the back of it and the insurance company said it
was too nice to total out, so they paid to have all of the damage fixed and all
new paint put on it. It has new Grabber Orange paint, that was the original
color with a tan interior, black vinyl top and black and silver pinstripes. I
put a new true dual exhaust on it with Flowmaster V-Force mufflers and new Chevy
Rallye II wheels. I drive it to shows and cruises all over Colorado and it now
has 105.xxx miles on it. Thank you for making a site specifically for Pontiac
Venturas! Sincerely, Paul Headley
paulheadleys56ford@msn.com "
How
about that, an insurance company with a heart! Glad this vehicle
didn't end up in Car Heaven before its time.

Total Transformation
"Here are
the finished pics of the old girl.. stripes, decals and all. Just didn't have
the rear bumper done yet but it's there now. Just waiting on the rear seat and

these pics but it really sounds great cruising down the highway. God Bless, Terry

I think Terry needs to get a license for 'bringing back
the dead'--- I just had to include a couple of his 'before' shots so we can
fully appreciate what he started with. Back when I was in auto shop, folks
had a saying that went "Start with nothing, end up with nothing" but I've seen
too many automotive miracles since then to believe that anymore ("I built this
1967 Mustang fastback starting with nothing but this rusty hood hinge"- ha ha) If you
have the money and know what you're doing, you can do virtually anything! -Ro
Looking Good Under
the Canadian Sun
"Hope all is well. It was a beautiful day in southern Ontario, Canada today so I
took my pride and joy out for a cruz. I took some pics and thought I'd share them
with you. I finally found some chrome rocker panel moldings (NOS) and some wheel
well moldings (also NOS) and put them on and what a difference. That's the only
downfall of owning such a unique vehicle is that the only parts available for
these cars are USED or NOS. The used are usually rough and the NOS are very
expensive if, and when, they show up on E-bay. I'm very fortunate to have an
understanding spouse and some extra cash put away. Love the site. Look forward to
seeing the new rides and classifieds. Thanks again, Chris Hotrum
chotrum@sympatico.ca "

like butts, especially the X-body's rear 3/4 view. Maybe it's the cool

Meanwhile, Ro is kicking himself for 1) being slow with the camera and missing a
very nice black Nova Rally while in Olympia, WA and 2) snapping {then

Change of Heart
"I just
purchased this car in October 09 as a kick around car. Once I started checking
it out on the internet and found how rare they are I decided it deserves as
full a restoration as I can give it. It is a very solid car for the year,
and its a 4
wheel power drum car auto non a/c car.
The only downfall is someone put an Olds motor in it. I plan on looking for
a 400 pre 75 Pontiac motor for it. Will keep you updated on the project, Tom

"This is my

interior is all original. I am only the second owner and it only has 40,000
miles on it. The seats were wrapped in plastic until last winter.
The paint is original but has a few scratches. The little old lady who
originally bought the car in 1972 only used it to go to the grocery store
and church and back. To make my interior complete, I need a new back dash.
It is slightly warped and the paint has faded off. So if anyone knows where
I could find one, it would be great.

...And What About Mexico?
I asked Jose if he thought someone had possibly stuck a Skylark nose onto the car after an accident, and about the Concours (luxury edition) badges: "At the beginning I think the car was repaired in some point too, but making some research I found this model everywhere here in Mexico. It was sold as 1978 and 1978-1/2, and yes it was the most luxury version with a/c, all electric windows, locks, etc, sport wheels, 350 engine, automatic 350 transmission, power steering etc. I see many cars exactly like mine on the streets, is very common to see this car today and I'm proud to tell you that my car was never involved in any type of accident. When I purchased it the first time back in 2006 it had the original paint and wheels, and the vinyl top obviously all rusted and faded by the time and the sun, so I painted it black, changed the transmission for a bigger 700 with bronze turbine, a bigger intake manifold and a 700 Edelbrock carburetor and some other things for the interior of the engine... so I think the Chevrolet company here in Mexico made some strange combination of parts with the idea of selling the last parts they have on their factories but as I tell you before, there are many cars of these bizarre version of Nova Concours, any way I think it is cool and gives that mean-look to these models that I enjoy so much. jose velez gonzalez from tala jalisco mexico ( jvego13@hotmail.com )" I think we can all agree that Jose has indeed transformed this car into a mean-looking ride, and that Buick nose is WAAAY better than any of the bland egg-crate Nova noses prior to the cleanup in 1979. Nice job! -Ro

Bringing Back a Beauty in Blue
Apollo Rising!
"Hey, found your site and thought I'd share my current project. She's a 1975 Buick Apollo that my dad found in a junk yard north of Ottawa about 4 years ago for me. We pulled it out, running perfect, needed brakes and body work. The original engine is a 260 V8; a wonderful engine as we all know, which is near death so it is out but I will keep it. It has a TH350 behind it with a BOP pattern which is in perfect shape. So we're using my Pontiac 400ci out of a '70 Firebird... The Apollo has absolutely mint floors and frame rails due to being oiled every year for 30 years while it booted around Ottawa and has 64,000 original miles on it. I have included some older pictures from when we first found the car and some new ones of the current work being done. Our goal is to make a super sleeper four door, and I think it's going to be awesome. "We just managed to shoehorn the big Pontiac 400 into the Apollo, and line it up nice and smooth. Definitely wasn't easy, we had to drill new holes in the frame to bolt the mounts down. I also had the frame completely welded and epoxied, then painted with a special industrial hardcoat. I have also installed a polyurethane suspension kit; which I highly recommend, from Energy Suspension. The complete kit includes body mounts and control arm bushings, as well as spring pads and dust caps, it's worth every penny. Everything is bolted in with new fasteners, I couldn't get original style body bolts, so I had to make do with Grade 8 heat treated bolts, thankfully the cage nuts for all the body mounts are in perfect shape. "It's a bit of a race to get everything set so I can roll the car back in the garage before the snow hits, still have to install the coil springs and shocks so I can get the spindles on. Feel free to post any of my pictures on your website, I'd love to share my baby with other visitors to your website. Take care, and keep up the great work on the site and your Ventura! Alex Peebles apeebles@persona.ca , 1975 Pontiac-Powered Buick Apollo Project, Kingston, ON, Canada"

The Website Project Car |
I can only take credit for keeping the car out of the elements this winter... but my poor orange 76 Capri is paying the price for my negligence (water leaking into interior, rust blisters rising under the vinyl top)...! Maybe I can get points for having the Capri's carb yanked, rebuilt and reinstalled before the cold weather finally rolled in; can't wait to fire it up. While removing and replacing after the rebuild I discovered 2 bad vacuum leaks in the process, so the car should run way better than before. -Ro |
