1970 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible - Triple White on 2040-cars
Concord, California, United States
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. |

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers
Tue, May 30 2017A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac 6000 LE
Sat, Dec 2 2017Sibling to the Chevrolet Celebrity and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, the Pontiac 6000 sold pretty well during the early-to-middle 1980s, but had been relegated to the dealership bargain bin and fleet-car cul-de-sac by the time of Operation Desert Shield. Here's a final-year-of-manufacture 6000 LE that I photographed in an Arizona self-service wrecking yard. This car was sold new in Arizona, and it will be crushed in the same state, 26 years later. The LE was the cheapest trim level for the 6000 in 1991, but the original purchaser of this car sprang for a few options. For example, instead of the utterly miserable 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, this car packs the 3.1-liter V6. That meant 140 horsepower instead of 110, plus an engine note more like a vacuum cleaner sucking up a spaghetti spill than an ailing blender chewing on walnuts. AM, FM, and cassette. Not only that, but the auto-reverse feature meant that your mixtape cassette wouldn't stop right in the middle of your favorite Roxette tune. This content is hosted by a third party.
