How's cupcake?

@FourQed She's just fine - thank you for asking - she's waiting for nice weather so we can shoot more muscle boat vids...

NIce car and nice shoes. I have the same shoes...just wish I had the same car. Great videos. If this video and no pictures and only sound, you could tell it was a Pontiac...they have a sound all of thier own!!!

@luvtheoldstuff Then you'll enjoy the sounds of a '68 Ventura with 428 4 speed... stay tuned...

i think the vid shows little of the potential of these cars.the guy should learn how to shift.i wonder what axle ratio this could have had with A/C?

[4spdBernie]

@nomiclas Car is now in Austin, TX. Got a full resto...

[NipkowDisk]

Really nice!!

The 421 was, and is, a force to be reckoned with. My dad had a '59 Catalina with a 421 and that thing FLEW! IIRC the inventor of that engine was Malcolm McKellar or something like that- he earned a BIG gold star, no doubt!

Can't wait to see the Ventura. Had that trim option in '68 with the 400, 4 bbl automatic. Only wish I ordered the 2+2 option even without the 2+2 badging.

Hell with the gas mileage lol died laughing. Love the sound of this one. Just grabed me a 1963 Bonneville 389ci, wish it was a 4 speed but still a very nice car, plenty of pep. Just needs interior resto, but extreior looks good enough, still turns heads like no other.

One of the nicest dashes ever put in an automobile anywhere!!

I hated seeing those in the wrecking yards back in the 80's.

Awesome man. I still have my 1966 2+2 from high school (1988) and even though everybody else thought it looked like the bat mobile, I loved that car. Has the 421 tri-power with the automatic tranny. Got the factory manifold gauge, AC, power steering, power brakes, AM/FM radio...and the factory Reverberator! That was the coolest thing on the car. The reverberating radio! Also has the 8 lug wheels. Man, I have got to get off 4th point of contact and restore that thing.
