Simply Tremendous 1961 Pontiac Ventura Bubbletop

Now available for sale in our Fairfield showroom is this gorgeous 1961 Pontiac Ventura 2 Door Hardtop with spectacular black exterior paint and a stunning NOS green vinyl interior with bucket seats and console. Youll find a Butler-built 505 Cubic Inch, 515 Horse Power V-8 engine under the hood that is paired to an 700R automatic transmission and this desirable muscle car has been driven a mere 569 miles since the build was completed. Youll also find inboard mounted power front disc brakes specially designed to fit the premium 8 Lug Pontiac wheels and power steering.

The stock 389 CI V-8 has been swapped with a 505 CI monster built from the parts bins at Butler Performance and Kauffman Racing. Delivering 515 HP and 605 lb-ft of torque, the engine breathes through Pontiac D port heads, long-branch cast iron headers, an Edelbrock fuel-injection system and stainless, three-chambered, Flowmaster Series 50 Deltaflow mufflers. Muscle is transferred through a 700R automatic transmission to a 3.40 Positraction rear end and on to the Pontiac-only eight-lug wheels with wide whitewall tires. Disc brakes help to control the beast, slowing everything up in a hurry. Inside, E-Z-Eye tinted glass helps to keep the Jadestone and Seacrest Green Jeweltone Morrokide vinyl-trimmed interior cool. The beautifully restored transparent acrylic steering wheel is a work of art on its own. Other cockpit features include a full-length center console, AM radio, passenger ashtray, crank vent windows and a factory clock.
