We’ve owned this beauty since 1988.  We bought it from the California estate of a friend’s father after his father passed away.  It’s been garaged at our home since day one.  The odometer shows 74554 miles, and I believe that is accurate. We never drove it much except for an occasional drive down the Las Vegas Strip.

While it is a great car to drive, we bought others and this 1967 Pontiac Bonneville hasn’t been licensed since 2006.  Since then, rather than start it, we had it trailered twice to our mechanic who drained the fuel tank and lines, checked the mechanics, changed the oil and did routine maintenance.

This car is certainly solid, but like any older vehicle, it isn’t perfect.  Despite always being garaged, the red lacquer paint on the hood and trunk surface has faded.  The seats have one separation of about 5 inches on the seam of the driver’s seat, the dash is split, and the upholstery could use a cleaning.  The hydraulics for the convertible roof were a little weak in 2006 and we haven’t test them.  Some tonneau snaps are missing or have pulled though the material in several locations.  The convertible top is solid but showing some loose stitching.  The shift indicator doesn’t work, but the transmission was strong the last time out of the garage.

When we last drove it all mechanical systems seemed sound.  However, we make no warrantee either stated or implied about the condition of the vehicle, its operability, drivability or any other factor or consideration.  It is sold as is. 

We hand washed this car prior to taking the most recent photos, but we did not detail it, preferring to have you see it as it is without cosmetics.

If you want additional photos, let us know and we will get them.  Please be specific.

We will assist in rolling it out of the garage so it can be easily loaded onto your vehicle.  If you want photos of your loaded vehicle, we will provide them.

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years

Mon, Dec 17 2018

An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
