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.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
