Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this mind blowing 1971 Pontiac Ventura. There's an old saying that, "You can't judge a book by it's cover," and this is a perfect example. Everyone, I'd like to introduce, "Two-Face." Why did the builder/owner name it that? I'd be happy to explain. Anyone thinking this Ventura is nothing more than an old rusty street car with nice wheels, would be sadly mistaken. The body was sealed in clearcoat to preserve the authentic patina and everything underneath has been painted, powder coated, or covered in Line-X. When you open the hood, that's when the fun begins. A built 6.0l Gen III LQ4 fitted with a Tooley Stage 2 cam, FiTech fuel injection system, Speedtech long tube headers and custom polished exhaust leave no doubt, this is no 307ci. A fresh 700R4 overdrive transmission sends the horsepower to a built locking 10 bolt rear diff with 3.73 gears. Take a look underneath and you'll see, "Two-Face" plays for keeps. BMR front tubular control arms, with a rear Watts link and torque arm work together with Ridetech steering arms, subframe connectors and gear box keep things planted and heading straight. Open the door...and everything changes so prepare yourself. TMI leather wrapped seats, dash, a custom center console with cup holders, Dakota Digital gages, a killer sound system, and ice cold air conditioning wait inside to keep you comfortable. Now you see why the name makes sense as this is where classic and custom meet power and patina. Pull up to the local car show and watch everyone walk away from the dozen or so new C8s and gather around your new ride! Come see "Two-Face," today in the main showroom of our Tampa location!
