Phil,
That's awesome! Sometimes they all can't be big block ram air hemi tripowered cammers! Good on ya!
We all have cars that mean something special to us for whatever reason, and one day I'll buy mine too. But seeing how I just bought another truck....Kelly might say something if I bought another car right now. Might have to wait another few weeks. Ha!

Cheers,

Dave

Phil, whilst I was the one who posted up the San Fran Ventura a few weeks ago thinking it was a pretty cool hot rod that is rarely seen, after looking at your car here I prefer it in it's stock form. Great looking car that seems to have had an easy life. Good luck with it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Thanks Damien. I guess I have you to thank for this car. This was one of those cars that you always have in the back of your mind, but really don't expect to find. Most of these that are left are beat up, heavily modified or 4-doors.

This is the car Damien had found, it wasn't on Craigslist for very long. My old one was the same color (originally light green), had the same grille and was a hatchback (always leaked and so did the rear tail lights).










Ryan, I've attached a better picture of the flooring. It is not that clear as to how many colors are in it, but the car has already been put into storage until next year.

Very neat. I've never seen any older than 1973. Can't wait to see more next year!

That rubber mat is very similar to that of my '70 Buick Post Sedan [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I apologize for coming to this conversation late. It has been a very hectic several weeks for me. Packing, moving, and unpacking. Only to be welcomed by more rain than I have ever imagined and the threat of a hurricane. I might be dodging snow during the winter months, but I wasn't prepared for all this on day one of my new life in Charleston, SC.
Anyway, I can't be more honored that my Grandmother's car has landed into the right hands. Phil has been a class act to deal with. I wasn't sure what to do with the Ventura with the move on the horizon. Damien posting in the ebay section was a true gift. Thank you very much for that. I guess some things fall at the right place and the right time.
I am very grateful that Phil is going to preserve what is good and fix all that isn't on the Ventura. It is a great relief that the car won't be modified (unless done very tastefully) and I will have the ability to get it back when the time is right.
Thank you all for enjoying it and thank you Phil for being a great caretaker.

Marty
