As America's third best-selling automaker since 1962, GM's Pontiac Motor Division rode atop the high-performance wave under the guidance of engineer and fast-rising industry legend John Z. DeLorean. The Bonneville stood as Pontiac's top full-size model line and combined aggressive styling cues, premium amenities and performance. Fittingly, this 1968 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible was owned by drag racing legend Arnie "the Farmer" Beswick, who dominated Super Stock, Factory Experimental and Funny Car classes with his wild Pontiac racing cars during the 1960s.

Quite rare today as 1 of 7,358 examples produced, this 1968 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible of a fabulous offering in its factory-specified Solar Red paint finish, complemented by a Red interior and Parchment convertible top. Remaining in highly original condition, the Bonneville is a two-owner car from new and the odometer reads under 10,900 miles. Power is delivered by the 340-horsepower, 4-barrel 400 CI Bonneville V-8 engine, rebuilt and bored 0.030 over. A column-shifted automatic transmission delivers the power.

Passenger amenities include the Red bench seat interior with matching seat belts, a factory pushbutton AM radio, wood grain accents, and power windows. The driver is greeted by a factory 3-spoke steering wheel with tilt column. Power brakes and power steering deliver a relaxed driving experience. Exterior highlights include hide-away headlights, rear-fender skirts, chrome bumpers and Pontiac's exclusive 8-lug wheels with integral brake drums mounting Whitewall tires. Dual exhaust delivers a throaty note. A roadside jack and tools are included.

Offered with distinguished provenance, this outstanding, highly original and very well equipped 1968 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible is a wonderful touchstone to Pontiac's 1960s sales dominance and drag racing history. Ready to show and enjoy, it is collector-grade throughout. Contact us to experience it first-hand, obtain full details and get ready to make it yours today!

As-Is:

The Last Detail has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability, however, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and recommend that the buyer inspect and test drive the vehicle before finalizing their purchase. The Last Detail shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with the vehicle at the buyer’s request prior to close of sale. No allowances or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Any and all differences must be addressed prior to the time of sale. The Last Detail assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle. Despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or a previous owner’s diligence in care of said vehicle. There are no mechanical guarantees, expressed or implied. We will not be responsible for buyer’s remorse or issues to said vehicle once it has left our premises. We are being realistic; most of the cars we sell are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later. Therefore, all vehicles are sold “AS IS”. However, extended warranty options are available on most vehicles. Please inquire if you are interested.

Vintage cars in excess of 10 years of age, in most US states, mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. The Last Detail makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown and accepts no responsibility for any discrepancy with independent reports such as CarFax, Autocheck, etc. Unless the vehicle is advertised as an original mileage car, do not assume that the mileage/odometer reading is the actual mileage. It is simply what the odometer is reading at the time pictures are taken. MILEAGE IS NOT ACTUAL UNLESS STATED SO IN THE DESCRIPTION! Vehicles are test driven and mileage may vary at time of sale.
