1961 Pontiac Ventura 421 S/S Super Duty - Bubbletop - Rare Hard to Find

Pontiac Ventura 2 Door Sport Coupe 1961 Description

Rare 1961 Pontiac Ventura 421
With my Wife's help, need to get this auction up and running today before I chicken out! I'll try to keep the description short and sweet.
I have a new account on eBay since I have always used my wife's account. If you are concerned at all about my "newby" status, ou can look at my wife's account, serID: *shelley - She has been selling on ebay for over 17 years.
I purchased the car from a close friend, aster mechanic and fellow Pontiac Enthusiast in 2001. After the purchase we changed it from a roto-hydromatic car to a 4 speed car and upgraded the entire drive-train.
The wheels are 15" Super Duty (police car) and have finned aluminum brake drums in perfect condition.
The car presently has a T-10 transmission with special Ford heavy duty gear set which gives it a user-friendly 2.74:1 first gear ratio. Differential is a 3.64 Saf-T-Trac with all new components furnished by Fabcraft. Also by Fabcraft is a rear sway bar. Indian Adventures lower control arms help a little with traction.
The Engine is a 1963 421 HO block that has been completely rebuilt using forged rods and pistons, tock 421 crank shaft, 06 Super Duty heads, actory cast iron 425-A exhaust manifolds, actory Nascar aluminum 4bbl high rise intake manifold and new Edelbrock 750 carburetor. All engine, ead, nd intake work was done by Dave Bisschop at SD Performance who needs no further introduction. Engine output is approximately 400 flywheel horse power on the Dyno.
All paintwork is perfectly done in factory Jadestone Green in modern base coat/clearcoat.
The matching interior has been done with materials sourced from SMS and is perfect! The original dashpad was resprayed and has a couple of very small blemishes.
Please feel free to email or phone me (206-406-0468) with any and all questions. There is just way too much information to list here.
Any inspections are welcome but must be done prior to the end of auction. Previews are encouraged and seller will help accommodate potential buyers.

After an inquiry about the car I am adding the following to the description:
This car did not come from the factory as a Super Duty car, t did not come from the factory with high performance parts in the trunk which a select group of customers received for racing. It was originally a 4 barrel automatic car that I converted to 4 speed car using some of the original Super Duty parts to complete a drivetrain that replicates the original SD's. The heart of this changeover is a 1963 vintage 421 4 bolt main block assembled with ARP main studs, lign bored, oned and torque plate honed and parallel decked. The crank, hich has identical specs as the original, as sourced from a 1969 428 with .010 over main bearings. Standard BBC H-beam forged rods by Eagle. and Ross 4.165 dished pistons get you 9.3:1 compression.
