I took the liberty of using my ebay description to sell Anthony Pittari's "Maximum Overtime" and wanted to give you guys a look and see if we can't find a private sale home for this righteous Pontiac Ventura Pro-Tour special. This should about cover it. Thanks Poptop

My name is Anthony Pittari. I've been building cars for a long time. My last big build, a 1977 Buick Century, was featured in Hot Rod Magazine and sold at Barret Jackson. My current build is this beautiful 1972 Pontiac Ventura. Inspired by late 60's Trans-Am style cars, I built this car with one major goal in mind, to be on the floor of Detroit's Cobo Hall Autorama. For those that don't know, this is an invitation only show, only the best of the best. The famous Riddler award is bestowed at this event. My dream came true after years building this car, and it won in class at the March 2015 show where the car was debuted! During the show, I was approached by Car Craft Magazine for a photoshoot for an upcoming Car Craft magazine issue. That photo shoot took place in June 2015, and the car is now currently in the July 2016 Car Craft magazine on the news stands now. The car is also featured on HotRod.com Online, under "Anthony Pittari - Maximum Overtime" at the following link (98 Pictures):

Right after the show, the car was brought back to New York, and two months later we hit the road for the 2015 Hot Rod Power Tour. We drove from New York to Madison, Wisconsin for the start of the power tour. During the tour, QA1 Shocks used our car as their feature car in the manufacture's midway during the length of the Power Tour which ended in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. By the time we got home to New York, we logged 4500 trouble free miles. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car anywhere. We have since put another 4000 miles on it, bringing the total miles to under 9,000 miles since the cars completion.


The car originally rolled off the assembly line Detroit, Michigan GM plant where it stayed it's entire life. I searched high and low to find a low miles candidate for high end restoration and finally came upon this car. It was rust-free, and only had 42,000 original miles. This car was an original Pontiac 350 Air Conditioning car. The only previous attention that had been paid to this car was the right rear lower quarter panel replacement, most likely done early in the cars life. The car has all it's original floors, doors, fenders, trunk lid, and hood which was all modified for my build. Here's a list of everything done to the car:

Although this car was built as a show car, it was driven and is not a trailer queen. The two noticeable flaws are 2 small rock nicks above the bumper on both sides. One happened during the Power Tour, one during the Car Craft Nationals.


This car was built my myself, and I stand behind it 100%. If you have any questions please feel free to ask, or call at 347-504-2544. Check me out on Instagram at aphotods for pictures of this car and previous builds. Car is sold as is, no warranties implied. Buyer to pay for shipping.

Thanks for reading this ad we have a target price in the 60's, however discussions can be made for serious contestants. I hope I have represented this car fairly for Anthony and any questions should be directed to him via his phone number mentioned previously. Thanks again Poptop!!
