Custom and Rather Rare, Nicely Optioned 1964 Pontiac Catalina Ventura. There weren't many of this model produced to begin with and the survivors are few and far between. This car has, over the past several years, gone through a FULL RESTORATION that was completed this past spring. This eye catching Base Coat/Clear Coat Reverse Scallop Teal Green over Sunlit Sand Pearl Silver paint scheme and Interior was chosen to respectfully pay tribute to the Custom Street Rods and Low Riders of yesteryear yet still retain some of its classic original features. The chassis has been lowered two (2) inches in the front giving this car a very aggressive stance. This car was undercoated from the factory and still retains most of that original undercoating. The underside of the car has been cleaned and re-undercoated and the frame repainted in flat black. The entire underside of the car has been detailed and is nearly as nice as the topside. A brand new gas tank with new sending unit and pickup has been installed. The engine and automatic transmission have been completely rebuilt. The A/C system has been completely gone through, restored as needed and on a 90 degree sunny day produces a BONE CHILLING 35 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AT THE VENTS!!! The A/C systems of today's cars cannot even compete!!!
Other than the paint and interior some of the other custom features of this car include the 64 Grand Prix headlight bezels, grill and parking lights as well as 64 Grand Prix rear fender extensions, backup and tail lights and rear finned chrome bezel. Red LED lights were installed in the rear finned bezel in place of the factory GP tail lights and inside the GP backup lights. Brand new backup lights were installed in the factory Catalina bumper locations. Door handles and door mounted mirrors have been shaved and Custom mini roadster mirrors have been modified and mounted on the vent window frames. Door poppers have been installed to open the doors. A remote is included for the door poppers.
KMC 17x8 Chrome Billet Venom Wheels wrapped in low profile Kumho Ecsta ASX tires were chosen to complete the LOW, SLEEK, STALKING LOOK!!!

The all new carpet is dark teal green in color and extends to the bottom of the door panels and the kick panels. The seats and door panels are reverse scalloped in silver to carry through the exterior paint scheme. The metal parts of the dash and steering column were repainted in the light aqua and shows very nicely. The chrome dash is nice with very little pitting. The padded dash top is brand new and looks very nice. The real wood dash applique is brand new reproduction as is the wood sport steering wheel. The headliner is also brand new and is done in the white star pattern. The trunk has been customized with inner side panels upholstered like the door panels and the medium green carpet. All lights and accessories work as they were intended including all factory and aftermarket gauges.
EXTERIOR:
The front and rear bumper were just re-chromed and looks FANTASTIC. The exterior stainless is over-all nice for its age. All other exterior chrome is in good original condition with very little pitting. The doors open and shut easily and the hinges are tight. All exterior emblems have been replaced with new reproductions. The undercarriage of this car is highly detailed and very nice and has been cleaned, re-undercoated and/or repainted back to its original flat black color.

The 1964 VENTURA was a sub-model of the Catalina line of cars and was designed to be a sporty classy version of the Catalina with the factory tri-tone interior and all of the available chrome features offered on the Catalina. This car not only has style and luxury but it performs well with a factory horse power rating of 333 HP/330ft. lbs Torque plus the additional performance upgrades noted above. This car is a fantastic driver and I would not hesitate to drive it across the country and back just as you see it. -WE FINANCE WITH $3000 DOWN PAYMENT-ALSO SHIP WORLDWIDE
