1960 Pontiac Ventura
Every year, just before the Super Bowl, Barrett-Jackson puts on one of the biggest auto auctions in the country. It has been several years since I have attended, primarily due to the threat posed by the COVID pandemic. There were a dozen or more huge tents to protect the majority of the vehicles to be auctioned off. Unfortunately, it was cloudy which made photography a challenge (because of low light levels) and it was quite chilly which challenged me to be selective in the choice of cars to photograph. This 1960 Pontiac Ventura is a clean cruiser. It is powered by a rebuilt and detailed 389ci engine with a rebuilt automatic transmission. Its suspension has been upgraded with 3-inch drop springs and it has a 4-inch rear with the stance provided by new shocks, new bushings, new ball joints, and tie-rod ends. The door panels and seats are original, and it has a new headliner, carpet, and sun visors. It is equipped with a new heater control, new vintage digital radio, and a restored steering wheel. It is also equipped with a new windshield, windshield channel, and new weatherstripping. This vehicle sold for only $18,150.
