i just bought the car this past friday 10th and everyday it seems to look better and better to me even with the green "that i thought would be the first thing to go" but i may just have to keep the color..

[strtlegal]

keep the color

[NovaResource]

Love the car, love the color. But why is there a Chevy motor in it!?!?!

Just kidding. But a Poncho 400 would be cooler. :D

Cool Car! My dad traded my mom's 64 Chevy II on a new Pontiac Ventura hatchback in 1973!

thanks, i think they are kinda bad arse..:D

[Colin]

I agree with the others too...keep the color, I think it looks great. Maybe paint the raised part of the hood flat black to match the scoop.

[DANNO]

Green is good!;)

I like the Ventura, the chevy motor and the green.
Mines a Ventura II and not a Sprint.
Did yours come with a 350 ?

From what i understand it came with a 307..:D

[orcuttc]

From what i understand it came with a 307..:D

Mine was a 307 also.
Long gone though.
What is the difference from the Sprint and the Ventura II ?

[72VenturaII]

I was wondering where all the Ventura guys were hanging out.:D

Scott: Ventura's came with Chevy 250 I6's, 307's and Pontiac 350's from the factory. That's probably because Pontiac didn't make a motor smaller than a 350 at that time.

[BillsNogo]

I like it! Keep the color too! I really like the venturas alot, and am glad people are starting to build them rather than use them as parts for novas.

Very nice!

[chevynuts88]

Keep the color! You got it pegged !

[stricknine]

thanks guys. well looks like i gotta put a roll cage in her....i really dont want to but to run 7.00 heads up i have to.last week at the track after the first run they told me not to bring it back until i had a cage,so i guess i really dont have a choice.can anyone tell me if i have to take the back seat out or can i go through the rear deck with a 6 point cage?:confused:

[Colin]

There is at least one place that sells a roll cage kit that has "seat saver" bars as an option.......they go down through the package tray. Cant remember where I saw that....it was either Chris Alston Chassis Works or maybe SW Racecars......I think.

[DriveWFO]

Competition Engineering sells them. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=CEE%2D3185&N=4294821413+115&autoview=sku

Sweet car I LOVE the color don't change it, I've been sneaking around this Nova Site for a year now asking the Nova guys questions about that are really for my 71 Ventura! (Shhhh!) Just kidding, everyone around here loves all the x-bodies and are so helpful. I seriously wouldn't be where I am today with my project if it wasn't for this website! My Ventura has much more serious rust than just bubbles. And I wish I could do body work...I might try it this summer, but I will need to do some welding which I've never done before.

I haven't figured out the photo thing yet on this website, but I ahve lots of photos of my rebuild on cardomain.com, ride number 831392.

Sweet car, enjoy it!
