This 1972 Pontiac Ventura is for sale<\/a> in Tucson, Arizona for $34,500. The car was built by Anthony Pittari over 3-1\/2 years and was featured in Car Craft<\/a> in 2016. Under the hood sits a Pontiac 400 ci V8 stroked to 455 ci with a mild camshaft, Eagle iron crank, and 10:1 compression ratio. Power reaches the rear wheels through a LGT-700 five-speed manual transmission with overdrive, GM 10-bolt rear end with an Eaton Posi LSD and 3.23 gears. The car’s suspension consists of tubular upper and lower control arms in front and Detroit Speed Quadralink rear, and adjustable coilovers on each corner.
