Good paint, aged brightwork with pitting on the bumpers and pot metal pieces, engine compartment is well used with some small fluid leaks underneath, the interior is represented as original but looks new. An older restoration that has been maintained but will need some work before re-entering the show circuit.
Market commentary
Sold at Russo and Steele's 2011 Monterey auction for $27,500. The '61 Ventura is a neat little car, what with its thin pillars and reverse-canted twin grille, and the 389/318 motor provides plenty of scoot, but they aren't widely remembered among GM fans.
