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! |

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
Burt Reynolds' old Pontiac Trans Am replica sold for $317,500
Thu, Jun 20 2019Following Burt Reynolds' passing last September, Julien's Auctions held an estate sale of the late actor's property on June 15-16 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hundreds of items were included in the auction, but none more valuable than the Pontiac Trans Am Bandit replica previously owned by Reynolds. It easily surpassed expectations when it sold for $317,500. Julien's, the self-proclaimed experts in contemporary and pop culture, listed 876 pieces in the sale, from cowboy boots to a driver's license to scripts. The online preview said it estimated a range of prices from $25 to $200,000. They were way off. Item No. 716 was a replica of a Pontiac Trans Am Bandit that was seen in the original "Smokey and the Bandit." Not the real car, just a re-creation. But its value comes more from who owned the ride rather than what the car was. The replica was owned by Reynolds for some years, and now that he's passed, it's coveted even more. It's not the only Trans Am item that sold at auction. Three Reynolds Trans Am model cars sold for $640, $576 and $512. A Reynolds-signed "Bandit" poster sold for $3,200. A Reynolds-signed poster from the Trans Am plant sold for $1,562.50, a Reynolds custom-built Trans Am office desk sold for $4,375, and a "Smokey and the Bandit" decorative etched glass panel sold for $896. This isn't the first time a Bandit replica has sold for big money. In 2016, a promotional Trans Am sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $550,000. We also believe the exact car sold in this Julien's auction was previously bought at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2018 for $192,500. If that's the case, somebody just made an extremely easy profit.
