Details

This 1961 Pontiac Ventura custom bubble top was built by the legendary Bo Huff and Street Rods by Michael. It’s powered by its original 389ci 8-cylinder engine coupled to an automatic transmission. It has been in numerous magazines and is a multiple show-winner, including the Grand National winner in 2008. A complete frame-off restoration was performed to show-quality throughout, with many custom modifications done. The exterior features taillights from a 1961 Buick Invicta, Pete Paulsen custom-made wheels, RideTech suspension, shaved door handles, nosed decklid and shaved rear fender extensions. Over 1,000 hours were spent on the paint alone. It’s finished in Sunrise Candy with Candy Tangerine scallops and a metal flake laced roof with variegated gold leaf coves. The body is laser-straight and the chrome trim on the car is show-quality. The undercarriage is clean and detailed as well. The interior features a ‘62 Cadillac steering wheel, original gauges and radio, custom dash, and Pearl White seats with interchangeable inserts from white to black. The headliner, door panels and rear decklid are all in good condition. The heat does work in the car as well. The entire car was rewired with Painless wiring and labeled. The trunk is detailed with a custom light. Included with the sale are matching panels in the wheel wells, custom mats, spare parts collected over the years, a full-sized spare, an extra original radio, and all magazines and trophies.
