I would say I always knew you were a closet Poncho guy, but the fender flags tell me different...

Well yeah....I love me some cool poncho's.
I did not even notice the Bow tie crossed flags. Good catch.

I haven’t been on Craigslist in like a month, that’s probably a record for me. I have ZERO desire to flip the Ventura or sell it or trade it. None.

I can’t believe it survived they are banned from demolition derbies aren’t they?

It’s ridiculously fun as is. Reasonably torquey. Cool factor is off the charts. I was thinking the other day, if someone came up to me at a gas station or something and offered me cash, how much would it take. I really don’t know. It’s that much of a keeper.

You’d sell that thing in a heartbeat for $5k+.

I have a plan. It’s gonna be rough, but I hope to make it happen by summer. I got a sweet new aluminum valley pan for the new engine and an original tilt column for my car for Christmas. Excited about that. Rear end and brakes go on this weekend. Gonna be sweet.
