For 300 it's hard to pass up. Does it run at all?

I'd love to have a ventura with an LS1. Much less mainstream than a Nova, and tons of aftermarket parts fit it because its basically a Nova. For that price I'd buy it!

Looks clean !!!
That car looks so good in that bad picture, that if you clean it up and took a good picture of it. You could do rather well on Ebay getting it for $300 plus getting it home for cost.
So if you don't really like it when you get it home you can always make some money on it. It looks like an investment to me for that price.
But I can't see the other side and if it is wrecked , it is still a good parts car for the money.
I work with a guy who is looking for a driver in really good condition and he isn't balking at 6 grand or so to get a really nice modified stock looking car. He wants a Nova or Pontiac and would really rather have the Pontiac because there are less of them.

the other side has a dent the size of a fist in the front fender and door. (they moved it with the fork lift.) the driveline is probably bent. still unsure about the engine. will be looking at it this weekend. shes an investment oppertunity. the plan is 18"
torque trusts (with dark centers) blackout the trim and chrome. "earl schibe" paint. (dont know about bumpers) and lower it and sell it. an Ebay car for sure.
might do some engine work. exaust, or something. but the emphasis will be for a quick sale.Tony Langlois
