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! |

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition
Tue, Aug 29 2017The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan
Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac G6
Sat, Sep 12 2020What 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.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi
Sat, Jun 19 2021The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.
