Beautiful 1970 Pontiac Bonneville convertible in triple white with a $10,000 sound system.  I bought this car about a year ago from the estate of a the previous owner who loved and pampered the car.  He dumped a ton of money into to it, as evidenced by the competition-level sound system you see pictured.  I have since updated the system with a Pioneer bluetooth head unit that also allows for hand-free cellular calls. I also had the subwoofers re-foamed.  The system sounds great and makes cruising with the top down at night all the more fun.  There are lights surrounding the four amplifiers that come on when the trunk lid is open.  Pretty cool. 

When I got the car, it had aftermarket wheels and wide whitewalls that I didn't care for so I sourced a set of original steel wheels and wheel covers and put brand new radials on the car.

All power accessories work, including the heat and AC, which blow warm and cold, respectively.  Anyone selling a car with AC who says, "It just needs a charge" is full of it.  If it just needs a charge, then just freakin' charge it!!!  What that statement REALLY means is plan on spending $2,000 getting the AC system working.  Not with this Bonny.  It already works fine.

Big block 455 is smooth and powerful.  No significant smoke or drips.  Tranny shifts correctly.  No alignment or suspension issues.  Car stops just fine.  There is nothing at all needed to get in and enjoy this car from the moment it arrives in your driveway.

As for overall condition, many people would consider it in show condition but an experienced car guy would characterize it as a solid #3 driver and that's what I think. No rust bubbles and door alignment is good.   Paint is glossy and not the least bit chalky. A few dings here and there, especially on the chrome rocker panel on the passenger side.  Interior is excellent with no blemishes.  It's a great car but not a show car.  But I've owned a LOT of cars and my standards go up every year.  I take very good care of all my cars and I am the kind of guy you want to buy a classic car from.  I fully believe that what goes around, comes around and I will not overstate the condition of a car I'm trying to sell because I don't want someone to do that to me. If you are looking to get into a classic boulevard cruiser, you would be proud to own this.

I’m not a dealer. I’m a regular guy who loves cars. The only reason I'm considering selling this and a 1970 Mustang convertible is to buy a car on my bucket list: 1966 GTO convertible.

 The opinion regarding the condition of anything other than a brand new car is subjective. To eliminate any chance of disappointment, you really should see and drive the car before buying. Call me at (650) 430-2010 and let’s make arrangements. If you are not comfortable buying a car sight unseen (perfectly understandable), then arrange for an inspection.

If you’re serious about buying a car in this price range, I hope you will make the effort to pick up the phone and call Mark at 650-430-2010 to talk about the car. It seems strange to me that anyone would be willing to buy an expensive classic car sight unseen from a stranger without at least talking to him.

Please only bid if you are willing to honor your bid. The winner must Paypal or wire a non-refundable deposit of $500 to my account or hand me cash within 24 hours of the auction ending or your offer being accepted. Then, when you come to pick up the car, if you did not see it before the auction ended and are disappointed in any way, you will not have to pay the balance due. However, by winning the auction, you take the car off the market and all the other bidders turn their attention to other cars. Accordingly, your deposit IS at risk.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac G6

Sat, Sep 12 2020

What makes a discarded car a gem? Sometimes it's a car we all agree is very cool, and other times it's a car that tells us something about automotive history. Today's Junkyard Gem is the latter type: one of the very last Pontiacs sold, before The General shut out the lights forever on the storied marque after 84 years. The G6 was Pontiac's Epsilon-platform-based car, sibling to the Chevy Malibu, Saturn Aura, and Saab 9-3 (plus a bunch of Europe-only machinery). The very last Pontiac ever built was a white 2010 G6 sedan like this one (all '10 G6s were sedans, the coupe and convertible having been nixed in 2009), though that car was built in January of 2010 and this one came off the line in July of 2009. They build Bolts at the Orion Assembly plant these days. The higher-zoot G6s came with V6s or even V8s, but this car has "fleet machine" written all over it and has the base 2.4-liter Ecotec four-banger making 164 horsepower. Pontiac shoppers in the United States could buy the Vibe as a 2010 model as well, while Mexican Pontiac dealerships also sold new G2s (known as the Spark here) that year. The G6 was The Final Pontiac, though, bookending a run that began with the 1926 Pontiac Six. This one will go to its grave with the original owner's manual still inside. Even the cheapest 2010 G6s came with an AUX jack for the radio, a feature that was still maddeningly hard to find in rental cars a decade ago. This content is hosted by a third party.
