A beautifully preserved translucent steering wheel serves as a centerpiece of the interior and reflects the futuristic styling themes that defined Pontiac’s celebrated Wide-Track era. The trunk compartment is clean and detailed, retaining the original jack assembly, spare tire cover, and a set of color matched fender skirts. Exterior details include the correct Pontiac Deluxe wheel covers, wide whitewall tires, dual outside rearview mirrors, and the unmistakable styling cues that made the Ventura one of Pontiac’s most desirable full sized models.
