Nobody else nailed the elusive blend of performance and sophistication like Pontiac did in the 1960s, and one of their most exclusive, top-of-the-line models was the rare and extremely stylish 1960 Pontiac Ventura Sports Coupe. Essentially a higher-priced 'custom' trim level of the entry-level Catalina (although to be clear, the Ventura was indeed an actual model for Pontiac in 1960 & 1961, until it was demoted to a just trim level from 1962 and on), the Ventura perfectly showcased Pontiac's new-for-1960 design that featured uniquely flattened hood and trunk surfaces, a horizontal grille, and more refined trim from end-to-end. Offered in the highly-desirable 2-door Sports Coupe iteration, this early Pontiac 'Bubble Top' is as chiseled and sleek as a perfectly tailored suit, but with its believed-original 389 Tri-Power under the hood it has the heart of a muscle car. And with factory options like power steering, power brakes, and A/C, this rare Poncho is truly an incredible find.
Refinished in Code N Mahogany Metallic, this stunning bubble-top coupe doesn't need a bunch of chrome or a convertible top to stop traffic wherever it goes. Freshly designed for the 1960 model year, the look is pure satellite-era Pontiac all around (the profile practically looks like a spaceship dome atop a flat platform), but one can also see the hints of the GTO to come in the front end. The aforementioned flat hood and decklid make the car look gigantic, even though it's actually built on GM smaller 122-inch wheelbase. It's obvious that the car was painted not terribly long ago, as the finish still has a very fresh look, and although it's certainly a driver, it's a top-end driver with deep, lustrous paint that has very few imperfections to speak of. In fact, take a couple steps back and you likely won't spot a demerit, and a professional buff-and-wax would only further improve things. Undivided horizontal bars in the unique front grille were actually quite revolutionary for the year, and that trim styling continues on the hood trim and profile moldings, which do a great job breaking up all that Mahogany finish. In back, the cool 'rocket' taillights are surrounded by plenty of chrome trim as well, and those have to be the biggest (and coolest) turn signals ever incorporated into such an ornate rear end. There's a lot of sheetmetal all in great condition and the gaps are uniform as well, which is especially critical thanks to that arrow-like side trim. A matching Mahogany vinyl roof adds a touch of sophistication to this Pontiac's already off-the-charts curb appeal, and it helps draw attention to the incredibly cool bubble top – with those incredibly thin pillars and awesome curved E-Z-Eye glass.
Inside, this Ventura is fitted with Pontiac's tri-tone "Morrokide" harmonizing upholstery, which isn't its original Fawn combination, but you can't argue that it doesn't look awesome in those varying shades of tan and brown. The dash is a piece of '60s modern art, with a lovely combination of chrome, brushed stainless, and matching two-tone finish that is as cool as a vintage Rolex. The seats have been correctly fitted with unique seat covers and springy foam underneath makes them firm and supportive. Look closely and you'll dig all the detailing this up-model Ventura gets you. For example, the large Lucite, chrome, and vinyl steering wheel is in excellent condition, the slender chrome shifter and matching turn signal stalk are minimalist yet ornate, and even the original Wonder Bar AM radio remains in the dash. A SunPro tachometer that was strapped to the steering column is the only piece that's not stock inside, as even the A/C unit is the correct Circ-L-Aire system that this Ventura was born with. Color-matched floor mats protect the plush wall-to-wall carpets and the trunk is correctly finished with a bright red mat and full-sized spare with cover.
Power comes from the believed-original 389 cubic inch V8, which with a Tri-Power carburetor setup was Pontiac's top performer and would become the foundation of the GTO just a few years later. With big horsepower and plenty of torque, this middleweight coupe moves like a bantam yet hits like a heavyweight. The engine is properly dressed in Pontiac Turquoise paint and topped with a black snorkel air cleaner, and there wasn't much flash this year, apparently they were waiting for the GTO to start adding chrome under the hood. Although not perfect, the engine bay has a very nice shine, and turns heads everywhere it goes because it looks completely authentic. Pontiac's famed Wide-Track wheel design teams with a supple, softer suspension introduced in 1960, meaning this Ventura floats down the road, further aided by factory 'Wonder Touch' power steering and brakes. The Hydra-Matic transmission shifts smoothly, sending power to the Safe-T-Track rear differential that can easily handle the car's torque, and the stock-style dual exhaust underneath has a fantastic note. Underneath, it's incredibly solid and clean with original floors, and 14-inch PMD 8-lug wheels wrapped in 225/70/14 Laramie whitewall tires at the corners are the perfect endcaps.
Fans of early Pontiac muscle, don't miss this opportunity! There hasn't been this much cool on wheels since Sinatra's goodbye tour. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
