1963 Pontiac Bonneville 2 Dr Sedan Original Black Plate California Car on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
|
This is a true California car survivor. It was built in South Gate, CA and then sold brand new to it's original owner in June of 1963. I have the original sales contract documenting this. This car spent it whole life in southern California and was garage kept. I am the second owner and I have owned it for about 10 years also keeping it stored in the garage. The car was completely original when I purchased it. It had 96,000 original miles then. I have done some minor upgrades over the years and I have all of the original parts that were removed or swapped out.
The overall condition of the car is good. The paint is original as far as I can tell, but it is not without some flaws, minor chips and scratches and door dings. There is no signs of rust or any cancer. The interior is in great shape, New carpet, headliner and front seat. The back seat and door panels are still original. I also replaced the armrests. The dash is original and has one crack in it. I also installed an aftermarket radio/CD player with two rear 6x9 speakers and amplifier. Radio is hidden in glove box and has a remote control. The dash was left undisturbed. I have also added some auto meter gauges for water temp oil pressure and voltage under dash as well as a mooneyes tachometer. The transmission is a Super Hydramatic and was completely rebuilt. The engine upgrades include all belts and hoses, water pump, timing chain, edelbrock intake manifold and edelbrock carb with electric choke. Dual exhaust with turbo mufflers and bellflower chrome pipes. I had the original distributer rebuilt and converted to electronic ignition. Spark plugs were just changed as well. Starter and alternator were also rebuilt. Basically every upgrade performed was to make the car a better daily driver. I still have the original parts that were removed and will be included in the sale. The brakes have also been gone through as well. The suspension and front end are still original except for minor lowering and bilstein shocks. I would say the front end may need some attention in the near future and it does slightly pull to the right. The tires are also new as well. The wheels are a Astro Supreme copy made by US Mag. They are 14" like the originals. I have the stock wheels and tires also and will be included too. This is a 5 Lug wheel pattern car which is more desirable for customizing instead of the 8-lug version. The car has factor Air conditioning, but does not work, I have replaced most of the parts to convert it over to 134a but did not finish it. Since it is a no door post car it is more fun to cruise it with all the windows down. My plan with this car was to make it a mild 60"s style custom. The roof line is the same as the Chevy Impala which adds to it's overall good looks in my opinion. This is a " Widetrack" chassis pontiac, which was designed for better stability and handling. The car drives really well. I used to live in southern California and I drive it up here to the bay area (400 miles) without any issues. since I have owned the car, I have put about 17K. miles on it in a ten year period. The reason I am selling is I do not drive it as much anymore. My commute to work is only 3 miles and it takes longer to warm hit up in the morning and get it out of the garage than actually driving it to work. I have tried to document everything with pictures. Feel free to contact me for any more info. I have all the documentation for all of the work done and all the original parts to go with it. Thanks for looking! |

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

2020 Porsche 911 Speedster spied with an angry driver
Wed, Feb 13 2019Porsche gave us details and showed us a concept of the 911 Speedster at the Paris Motor Show. Today, we bring you spy shots of what appears to be the production version of that concept with a few changes on board. They're rather minimal modifications, but the Speedster's driver appears especially angry with our spy photographer as he extends his middle finger directly toward the camera. Sorry, not sorry, Mr. Test Driver. Public testing of pre-production cars always comes with photo risks, and Porsches tend to attract more attention than others. You'll notice what appears to be a Cayenne Coupe prototype we've previously spotted running around with the 911. The Speedster Concept we saw in Paris had epic retro mirrors and fuel cap on the front hood, but both those design touches are absent from this pre-production car. It's tougher to see, but we lost the vents in between the two humps, as well. Everything else appears to have made it to production-spec. We can't say we're surprised these concept car features probably won't show up on the production car, but it is a tad deflating. You'll notice the Speedster is based-off the 991.2 generation of 911 and not the new 992. Porsche did a similar thing when the 997 generation was coming to an end with a Speedster model paying tribute to that car's life. The chassis is said to utilize parts from the 911 GT3, and the wonderful naturally aspirated flat-six engine gets carried over from that car, too. Porsche didn't specify if power will be exactly the same as the GT3, but we'll be expecting about 500 horsepower and a 9,000 rpm redline. We were told the six-speed manual would be offered on the Speedster in Paris, too. Let's just say that we strongly approve of that combination. Production will be limited to only 1,948 cars and begin in the first half of this year. We'll expect a reveal with a full spec breakdown soon, possibly for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.
