1964 Pontiac Bonneville triple black Convertible!
I purchased this car from a Pontiac collector in Tennessee about 2 years ago. He restored the car. If you know me, you know that I will buy a car keep it for a few years and then sell it, and go on to the next one. I don't have storage to keep them all so I have to sell to buy. The car is pretty nice but it isn't a perfect car. It gets a lot of attention and wins awards. I think everyone has a different opinion of condition, and I think I am fairly picky. I will try to present the good and the not so good with the car. I would encourage you to come see the car or call me with specific questions. Please don't bid if you are trying to low ball me because I think it warrants pretty close to the price. If you can find a nicer one, for less money then I would encourage you to buy the car. This Bonneville is 50 years old, it runs and drives excellent. and shows about 98,000 miles but I have no documentation as to the true miles. It has a 389 with an automatic transmission and a 4 barrel carb with an electric choke kit. The engine isn't perfectly clean, but it presents itself very well as does the engine compartment. The car has air conditioning, and I was told it worked, but I have not had it working. I put the top down to get air. All the components seem to be there for it to work, and the compressor is free. I have never explored what the issue is. Perhaps it needs a recharge. The other issue is that the heater doesn't work, nor the blower motor, so maybe it is a power issue of some sort. Again I have not explored the problem, because I don't drive the car if I need heat. The interior has a some what custom soft leather interior in like new condition. It has new carpet and logo floor mats. The steering wheel is cracked, the dash pad is like new. Gauges are clear and work except for the clock which doesn't work and the glass is split. The car also comes with a arm rest/cup holder that sits on the bench seat which is a very nice road trip accessory. All the glass is excellent, the side windows don't roll up as far as they need to make a solid seal. The convertible top is new and is a cloth top similar to what is installed on many of the new cars. It has a glass back window. There are no wrinkles or stains or tears on the top. It comes with the parade boot, which matches the interior upholstery, and it fits very well. The chassis is very clean, and rust free, exhaust is like new. The car has a set of American Racing Wheels with 16 inch tires. Tires have a couple thousand miles on them. The car also comes with the original steel wheels and a nice set of full wheel hubcaps, there are no tires on the wheels. The car has air shocks, and I have had some trouble with them, so I bought a brand new set of Monroe Air Shocks that are still in the box, that come with the car I just haven't gotten them put on yet. The front bumper is excellent, the rear bumper is also very good except for one small spot, that the chrome is getting just a bit thin. The bumpers were re-chromed at some point. The stainless on the car is in excellent condition with only very minor pitting. Much better than most 64 Bonnevilles that I see. The front grill and headlight bezels are excellent. Door handles could shine a bit more. The car has a rust free body, frame, and floor car. The paint is shiny and bright, the body panels are straight, and the gap on the doors, hood and trunk are good. There is one small chip in the passenger side taillight piece about the size of a pencil eraser, you don't see it, unless you look for it. It also has a very small niche in the drivers side front fender right behind the bumper, and again you don't see it unless you know its there. I obviously know they are there. There is also a spot on the hood that the paint must have been spotted in at some point, and it shows if the light hits it right and again if you are looking for it. There is nothing like a black car, that has a straight body, and this car does. The black paint with the black top and black interior is very nice. I have tried to explain the car the best I can, I think it is worth what I am asking. If you have questions call me after 6 and before 9 central time or on the weekend at 815-238-0796 I am located about 100 miles west of Chicago. The car is in storage in my garage and it can stay there until you can arrange for the car to be picked up. I will do everything I can to help make the transportation as easy as possible except I won't pay for transportation. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it should sell locally first. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

Remember when Pontiac made a Trans Am Kammback grocery getter?
Thu, Nov 8 2018Despite muscle cars having strong reputations as some of the most impractical cars one can buy, they've occasionally had one of the most useful and practical features a car can sport: a hatchback. In the 1980s, General Motors' Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird had one, and it added respectable utility to the sports cars. But the people at GM thought they could make the F-Body cars even more useful. So, after a few clay-model experiments, Pontiac built three examples of an extended-roof 1985 Pontiac Trans Am Kammback concept. Spotted by GM Authority, one of these Trans Am Kammbacks (although "shooting brake" seems like the more apt descriptor) is going on the block at the Mecum Kissimmee auction in early January 2019. Reportedly only three of these prototypes/experiments/test mules were built to driveable specs, and this example, VIN No. EX4796, has additional history that might make it the ultimate example. According to Mecum, the show car, which has made appearances at numerous auto shows, also spent some time at the race track — just not as a participant. It was used as a pace car for PPG and IMSA racing and temporarily had a light bar and "two-way communications equipment." Following its pace duty, and after GM stopped the project from going any further, it was put into Pontiac Engineering's private collection for 13 years. Famous Michigan car collector and Pontiac dealership owner John McMullen then bought the car. He eventually sent it to Pontiac specialist Scott Tiemann for a full restoration to the gorgeous condition it is in today. As seen in the photos, the Trans Am features white paint over a gray leather interior. It houses a 5.0-liter V8 under the hood and has a five-speed manual transmission. The wild concept is rare enough to be super cool, but we can't help but think of an infinitely more practical, more modern, more powerful, and arguably more interesting car we'd rather have. Manual Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon in Black Diamond anybody? Or, if you don't care about the extra doors, perhaps the Callaway's Corvette AeroWagen is more applicable. Either way, we're in full support of any shooting brakes we can find. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon
Tue, Aug 9 2016During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon
