BARN FIND
I just pick up a 65 Catalina Ventura 421 4bl 4 speed for $1400. Engine is gone but every thing else is there. The guy even had the PHS documents for it. I thought all 421's were 2+2's but apparently you could order them in the Ventura. Has a 69 400 4bbl in it now. Car has been sitting in his garage for 17 years.

Looks like a solid car, good deal. The 421 was optional in any full size car.

Did Pontiac offer a passenger side mirror that looked like the remote mirror but wasn't remote?

Pontiac did not offer a remote right-hand mirror in these cars; such was not available until the early 70s. Based on the car order forms I just reviewed, 1974 was the first year for DUAL remote mirrors.
I am facinated to see that this Fairfax, KS built car has the Ventura badges on the fenders - no 421 badges. My father's car, which he ordered - I am now not sure what badges were on it when it was delivered. His car is a Catalina/Ventura, 421 HO 3x2bbl 4spd. I am going to start a different thread on it. This is the only Catalina with Ventura trim that has (or had) a 421 of any kind in it that I have ever seen. |

There was an HO Ventura that was featured in Muscle Car Review magazine about 25 years ago.

If you have a remote on the drivers side you could order a remote dummy on the passenger side... I have it on 2 of my cars

I'm extremely jealous. That's a helluva find right there. I can only hope to run across a deal like that one day.

After having this car for a couple of weeks now I've come to the conclusion that the car is just a Catalina that was ordered with a 421 4 speed and did not have the Ventura interior. It looks like someone tried to add that later. Its is now a running car and I'm working on the brakes. Other than that hickup I'm very happy with the car. I've had some interest in buying it from me but I still have it. Here's some more photos.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
