1961 Pontiac Ventura Navigation
When the all-new 'bubble top' Pontiacs were introduced in 1961, people took notice. For performance enthusiasts, the Ventura was the top choice. With a beautiful tri-tone Morrokide interior, a custom steering wheel, an electric clock, and unique oval taillights, it was an instant hit. As the lighter-weight full-size Pontiac, the Ventura would be popular among racers, both on the track and on the street.
This black Ventura was delivered new from the Pontiac, Michigan factory exactly as it appears today. It was sold new in Portland, Oregon, and found by the current owner in Arizona. It has the 389 cubic inch V8 engine that produces 318 horsepower topped with a trio of two-barrel carburetors, backed by a manual transmission. It also has power steering and brakes, the Separa-Phonic radio, whitewall tires, and more.
