Great Looking Car with a Big asking price! Buick 350 2bbl V-8 T-350 Auto. Other than Rally II Wheels not many other options. I don't think I have ever seen the "white Seat" interior on a bench seat car before? It seemed to be on most mid range Pontiac's of the Mid 70's. I can't seem to copy any other pic's from Hemmings for some reason, sorry. http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/pontiac/ventura/1647014.html
Back then, white was simply another option to be chosen or rejected when it came to interior colour on a LOT of cars. There was no price premium or reduction for it. In most cases, what ordering white did mean was that you got more plain door panels (no carpet on the bottom) and on Mopars, black carpet, dash and seat belts, regardless of exterior colour. Ford and G.M. colour keyed the carpet, dash and belts to the exterior of the car. My great uncle had a 77 Pontiac Grand LeMans 2 door with the white vinyl bench seat.
Interesting, never knew of this "Sprint". Some other pics from online, I can't say for sure but it looks like the same car.............. Even a scale model of it....... and just for kicks, a 77 witch I never heard or seen ever (could not find a 76
I like that '75 Sprint! I like the Chevy Nova of those years. My dad has a '79 Nova and even though it is not popular among most Nova enthusiast but I have often talked about when we had it on the road with a 455 Buick in it how much of a blast it was. Bone stock '71 455 4bbl with exhaust and a 3.73 gear. With almost 500 ft. lbs. of torque it surprised more than a few built small block chevy novas! So all my babbling is about is I would like to see one with a Poncho 455 shoved in it!
From the '75 Pontiac brochure. No mention of a Ventura Sprint in the '76 or '77 brochures, even though they obviously made a '77 version. By '78, the Ventura was gone and replaced by the Phoenix, I believe.
I seem to recall reading somewhere (maybe in a Pontiac magazine featuring that white car?) that the '77 was a concept vehicle, possibly displayed at car shows. Maybe they were checking the public's reaction. In any case, it never got the green light. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: Hmmm.. Maybe I was wrong. http://www.pontiacventura.com/ventura_techfile_main.htm http://www.fredsmotor.com/sprint.htm
I just noticed (if it matters?), your bottom link witch is the same as one of the pics I posted has a regular trunk lid. The other I posted in the scrap yard has the hatchback lid. Was there a option for one or the other? I thought(?) when GM brought this new body style in the hatchback was the only thing available for 2 door models.
No, there were 2-door coupes, 2-door hatches, and 4-door sedans - same as the previous body. http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/chevy/75nova/bilder/5.jpg
