Details

This 1972 Pontiac Ventura underwent a 3-1/2 year build with the goal of a comfortable Pro-Touring car that replicated the Trans-Am race cars of the late '60s. No bolt was left unturned on this build. Its 400ci engine was stroked to 455ci and equipped with an Eagle iron crank, fully balanced rotating assembly, cowl-induction NASCAR-style air cleaner and electronic ignition. The Ram Air IV exhaust manifolds flow into ceramic-coated NASCAR-style side-exit oval exhaust. A Legends 700 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive puts the power to the pavement. This Ventura is equipped with a fully rebuilt 10-bolt differential with upgraded axles and Eaton 3.23 posi-traction, Detroit Speed Quadralink rear suspension, adjustable coilovers on all four corners, huge sway bars front and back, and quick-ratio power steering. It’s also equipped with CPP power brakes with 13” rotors up front and 11” in the rear, and tubular front suspension components. The Centerline 17” wheels were custom-made without logos and powder-coated Satin Gold. The laser-straight body is finished in Voodoo Blue with nice gaps, fully sanded and buffed. Custom body modifications included shaved drip rails and ‘69 Trans Am taillights. Custom aluminum spoilers were fabricated for the front and back. It sports all-new class and seals, SCAT Bucket seats with Crow 5-point harnesses, custom rubber floor mats and tons of sound-deadening. It also features factory air conditioning upgraded to modern R134A.
