72 Ventura sedan on kijiji PEI


Looks like a nice original car for $3K.  Not a hot rod, but a nice car to take the family for ice cream...

This is the 4 door sedan with a 250 cu. in. Inline six engine and 2 speed automatic transmission. It has 4 wheel drum brakes and non-power brakes and steering. It has just over 45,000 original miles on it. The interior and seats are very nice too. It has never been winter driven and always stored. It has been undercoated numerous times so there is no rust other than some light spots of surface rust where the paint is fading in places. It is a really nice car to cruise in. It has been in my family since the late 70's and I hate to part with it, but just don't have the time to drive it anymore. All it needs is a broken bolt on the exhaust manifold to be fixed and you can experience what nice car to drive it is for yourself.email for mor details. Thanks!

I've seen this car in person. A nice bare-bones cruiser.

I was considering this car for myself as an oldie to get back into the old-car hobby after a few years without one, but with other commitments coming up, reality hit me and it looks like I will have to hold off for another year unfortunately.  I would like the next car I get to be a nice, relatively untouched original, and this one would fit the bill.

Here are some additional pics the seller sent me when I was inquiring about it.  Thought I would share them in case anybody else is interested.  Looks like a nice solid car.  I believe it has a small leak into the trunk, though.

I don't know why a couple of pics are upside down after loading them, they look alright on my computer... but you can still see everything, just imagine the car being on a rotisserie when you look at those ones... wink

It does look solid. When I've seen it (it's not hard to miss when parked in Charlottetown) it looks good. A nice, simple machine.

Probably a trunk seal or window seal issue, and the rust is coming off that spare snow tire.

Sweet looking machine, just needs oiling to keep any surface rust in check.

 The owner mentioned that the car had already had Rust Check applied, which from personal experience should slow down the rusting process to almost nil.

Hopefully somebody will get it who wants to enjoy it as is.  Would be a shame to see it parted out.  Looks like a nice original little car, with low miles to boot.

Just found out that it was sold yesterday to somebody from Pictou, NS.

Congrats to the seller and new owner, would be nice if they were a member of CP.

Sorry to have missed out on it - was still trying to figure out how to make it happen for me - but glad it's in good hands.  Thanks for passing along the site to him.

 Never saw any more mentioned about this.  Did the buyer ever join the site?  Did you appraise the car?

Just curious, really, since I was fairly close to buying it.

Flip!  Looks like nothing was done with the car but the price has doubled.  Good luck...

I drove by this car the other day. Has a fresh coat of BLACK paint now. Not really sure it suits it..
