I found 2 sets of the old Goodyear Gatorback tires in a storage building. They have never been on a rim and still have all the shipping info on them. They are 245/50/16 and i just realized that they don't even make them anymore. They were ordered for a 92-97 Corvette and 94-99 Camaro/Firebird. I would take about $1200 a set for them if you know anyone interested. These tires have never seen the sunlight or been put on a car or rim and were stored in a dark old building. These are show quality tires. Let me know if anyone would be interested you may know. Terry Lamb a95toy@yahoo.com 5-27
     
Please somebody save this nice little Ventura II from Nova Hell. As you can see someone previously installed a Nova front clip onto the car. The car is very solid and straight as I hope you can see by the pics. The floor pans are very solid without rust as is the trunk except for a few pinholes. Car has been gutted for a race car so no interior, etc... Now for the good stuff- the rear end has just been gone through. It is an 8.5 with new Richmond 4.10 gear with mini spool. It was reassembled with all new bearings and seals. It also has a new set of Comp Engineering J-bolt traction bars installed. It does have some ugly old old wheels that don't really fit the car, but the rear tires are brand new Mickey Thompson Sportsman 29 X 12.5 X 15. It has a power steering box in it but no power brakes. I bought this car to make a race car out of because my first car was a "71 Ventura II and I have always loved them but I just have too many projects going on right now and I don't really want to cut it up. I don't want this car to sit and deteriorate any more. Please make me a reasonable offer for it and come get it. I'm in Pensacola, Florida 32526.

FOR SALE: 1973 Pontiac Ventura!!! This Car Is It!! I ran into this 90 year old lady in this all original 46k mile beauty. Just think this nice old lady was 60 when she purchased this 1973 Pontiac Ventura Custom with 350 Pontiac V-8 Engine brand new. She drove it around this little picturesque town of Moorestown, New Jersey for 35 years to average only a little over 1000 miles per year. I doubt I can adequately explain how nice this Ventura is. It shows so little wear that you would be amazed. After detailing this car the only problem with this beauty is two 3 inch spots on the passenger rear wheel well and they are well documented with ample photos. The local sheriff as well as many others had been after this car for a long time. I happened to be in the right spot at the right time to luck up on this one. I was out inspecting a new prospect for my Custom Hot Rod business AP Hotrods, when the gent told me about this woman having to move to South Carolina and not interested in taking this beauty with her. I have a photo with her in it for historical purposes.  The car has a near perfect original interior with white bucket seats (drivers has small tear shown in photos) and a rear hatchback with folding forward rear seats. The engine purrs and the trans gets right on its way when you press the right pedal. The undercarriage is awesome. This car has been cared for by local mechanics with tons of documentation for the new owner. It even sports the original popup spare tire. It also has a period correct possibly never used, from Sears tire inflator that looks brand new in the box. Asking $4500 or best reasonable offer. This car is located a in Millstone,New jersey 08510. Numerous detailed pictures available at http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/hh137/poptop1/1973%20Pontiac%20Ventura/ Thank you for looking, Ant.

1977-1978 OMEGA WANTED! I owned a 1978 light blue Omega (hatchback) with light blue interior. The car had a 305 Chevrolet V8 in it, with an automatic. The usual story, I owned the car all through high school and was my on going project car, and I sold it in 1989. I always said I would find another one, but there hard to find, and I don't want a typical Nova.

I really would like a '77 or '78 (2 door), and it doesn't have to be a hatchback, but would like the V8 option. A project car would be fine, as long as its got a solid body.
