This 1961 Pontiac Ventura was assembled at the General Motors Fairfax plant in Kansas City and delivered new to Graves Anderson Pontiac in Walla Walla, Washington. The car has been refinished in blue over a matching vinyl interior and is powered by a 389ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include 14″ Kelsey Hayes wheels with integrated brake drums, reverse lamps, E-Z Eye tinted glass, power steering, and power brakes. Service during current ownership reportedly included replacing the neutral safety switch and an upholstery panel on the front seat.
Originally finished in Richelieu Blue, the car was repainted during previous ownership. Features include a split front grille, optional E-Z Eye window tint, and chrome trim.
Factory optional Kelsey-Hayes 14″ wheels feature integrated finned aluminum brake drums and wear 215/75 Dean Alpha IV Season tires. The seller states that the drums were machined during previous ownership and that the shoes and wheels cylinders were also replaced.
The interior is upholstered in blue and features bench seats that have been reupholstered in tri-tone pleated vinyl. Amenities include a heater and defroster, an AM radio, a lockable glove box, and blue vinyl Pontiac-logo floor mats. The seller states that a section of the front seat upholstery was recently replaced.
The two-spoke steering wheel features transparent upper and lower sections joined by molded blue side grips. Instrumentation includes a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer, gauges for voltage and fuel level, and a clock. The five-digit odometer shows 86k miles.
The 389ci V8 was factory rated at 267 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed Hydra-Matic transmission.
