    Groucho,

    I gotta hand it to you. You seem to find all the old sweethearts out there. Great car, and I love the tru-spoke plans... It doesn't need much more... BTW, your A coupe is perfect to me..

    Have you ever seen the 60 from the detroit area called "mint julep"? Do a google search on this one. Your car is way cool. Nice score

    Awesome!!!! I have a '60 Ventura 2dr coupe and love it! That car looks immaculate, let's see the engine. Does it have manual or Hydramatic?***Never Mind, I see the automatic shift on the column*** How did you lower the rear? Also, I've been collecting NOS parts since I got mine about 2 1/2 years ago. As you know, parts can be a pain in the ass when it comes to Pontiac's. And once again, nice add to your stable!!!

    That's sweet. I love those big ole Ponchos. There was a white '60 at the Dragfest today. Can't remember the ET but it ran close to 100 mph.

    It looks much better with the Supremes.

    i'll say that i'm DAMN jealous!! i almost scored a '60 Ventura not long ago, but almost doesnt count!! yours is waaaay cool!!!
     
  23. I saw the white one run at Dragfest Saturday. I think it's a four speed stick and ran mid 12's(?). 12.69 sticks in my head for some reason, but there were so many cars
     
  24. WOW! I love the blue.
     
  25. Dang... jealous

    It was a fair-quality repaint that was close to an original '60 Pontiac color. It stayed that color the whole time I owned it; I think it was something like 7 years.
