The Bonneville was the top-of-the line Pontiac "Wide-Track" convertible for 1962, powered by the renowned 389 CID V-8 coupled with Hydramatic. Distinctive and impressive, it was ahead of its time and made many other brands in '62 look obsolete.


I am selling my Bonneville that is finished in wonderful period Aquamarine metallic complemented by a white convertible top. The interior features tri-tone winged bucket seats, upholstered in the correct combination of Morrokide with leather inserts. The dashboard features genuine wood trim that was a striking feature of the Bonneville interior at the time.

This heavily optioned cruiser is equipped with power steering, power brakes, rare factory AM/FM radio with power antenna, full interior lights, movable trunk light, power side view mirror, and the desirable 8-lug aluminum wheels. It is also equipped with rare factory air conditioning. It has a working compressor and blower, but is not blowing cold at present. Other options include backup lights and a tinted windshield. The Pontiac Historic Services window sticker (shown below) documents these options.

The power convertible top works flawlessly, and when lowered turns this Bonneville into an awesome '60's cruiser. The engine is smooth and powerful, with excellent response and a classic note from the dual exhaust pipes. The Hydramatic transmission shifts smoothly and the Bonneville is fully capable of keeping up with highway traffic, easily passing some surprised new car drivers when the four-barrel carb kicks in.

Showing 93,400 miles on the odometer, this Bonneville received an older full mechanical and cosmetic restoration. The Aquamarine paint is in fine condition, showing a bright luster with no cracking or bubbling. The interior is beautiful and needs only some attention to the door panels and minor details if the new owner wishes to freshen up the restoration. This is an excellent and dependable driver quality car that can be used without worry and enjoyed on the road. I can say from experience that it turns heads wherever it goes.

Optional rear fender skirts are included. I prefer the sportier look of seeing the 8-lug wheels in full view, but the skirts can be easily fitted or removed depending on the owner's preference. Photos on and off are shown below. The trunk is nicely finished with a mat, spare tire cover and tire tools in a pouch. Included are original owner's manual, shop manual, and sales brochure. Full documentation from Pontiac Historic Services is also included. Just installed is a new battery and air filter. Drive it home, no work needed!

This Bonneville is located in the Charlotte, N.C. area. Bidders are invited to test drive and inspect. For more information interested bidders may call (704)519-9406 or (917)301-4799. Auction may be ended at any time from prior sale.  Private owner, not a dealer.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even 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.

This KITT replica sold at auction for $32,500

Thu, Apr 23 2020

UPDATE: This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT replica officially sold for $32,500. Here's hoping the new owner has a blast throwin' it into Pursuit Mode. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: This isn't a perfect KITT replica. The original KITT used in the Knight Rider TV series was based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The one you see above, which is currently for sale at auction site Bring A Trailer, is a 1987 model, and since it's a GTA edition, it has some extra body cladding that the smooth-sided television car lacked. That aside, most casual observers would probably never notice the difference, and even those who did (like us) are still likely to be impressed by the car's transformation. This KITT replica is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It ought to be fairly quick, though quite a bit shy of the fictional car's very fictional 300-mph top speed. We're not exactly Knight Rider experts, but some quick Google sleuthing suggests that the Knight Industries Two Thousand supposedly cost more than $11,000,000 to build in Hollywoodland. This one will surely command a significantly lower sum — as of this writing, it's been bid up to $18,000 with four days remaining on the auction. This content is hosted by a third party.

There are several videos of the car that detail its modifications inside and out, but suffice it to say it seems to be a well-sorted replica. Here's hoping its new owner keeps it well clear of other KARRs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag

Wed, Feb 20 2019

Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."
