1979 Pontiac Bonneville
24000 original miles. My father bought this car in 1982 with 22000 miles on it. He has only put 2000 miles on since he has had the car. He had several other cars at the time and used this sparingly on the road. He was the second owner. The car has been sitting indoors the majority of its life.
EXTERIOR: The car is burgundy red with lighter red paint. Gold pinstripe accents and lower rocker chrome. The paint is in excellent condition with no pitting or rusting of the chrome bumpers or accent trim.
INTERIOR: Still smells factory fresh new car smell. The interior is red velour seating, red dash, red carpet... all red inside. The headliner has started to sag some on the drivers side but otherwise in excellent condition. There is one small wear on the drivers upper seat where the velour has rubbed off. Dash is not cracked or split at all. Has the original 8 track radio still in dash. Seats are power as well as doors, windows, and locks. Cruise equipped but not sure if it is functional. The GM cruises always seemed to have a habit of the lever switches going bad. Same as the A/C goes. It seemed to be blowing cool air but a change over to 134A would probably help. Is equipped with power brakes and steering.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION : This is a bit of a rarity I have been told. Most of these cars were equipped from factory with the 301 engine. This has the optional 350 engine. Buick 350 I believe is what it is according to vin tag and window sticker. The carb has been freshly rebuilt ( paperwork to show). The car sounds great, very healthy engine but wouldn't hurt with a nice change of plugs, wires, cap and rotor. The transmission is an automatic and shifts like new with no slippage.
TIRES: Tire have little if any wear on them. However... they are close to 30 years old. They show no signs of cracking or splitting. The rims are the modular wire chrome aftermarket rims, but the original steel rims and hubcaps are included with the car if you wish them.
EXHAUST: The only thing needing here is a mid-pipe, possibly muffler and tailpipe. The pipe from the back of the converter to the muffler had perforated rust holes. I am only saying it needs a cat back system because usually the muffler and tailpipe are damaged when removed from the pipes. All depends how careful you are.
The car is drivable and roadworthy for local driving , but with the age of the tires and the exhaust system being in the condition it is... use your own discretion. I would feel safer it being trailered...but that is your decision.
Car is sold AS IS!!! No warranty or guarantee is provided. If you wish more info or pictures feel free to contact me.
I do not accept cashier check or money orders. I have been burned on the past with counterfeit on both of these. Pay pal or cash is best. If paid with a check, the car will be held until payment has cleared usually 10-14 days.
Please do not contact me to end the sale early with your bid. Let the auction run its course.
Good luck and happy bidding.

Porsche Sports Car Together Fest is a labor of many Porsche loves
Sat, Sep 17 2022Over Labor Day Weekend, Porsche held its second annual Sports Car Together Fest (SCTF) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We happened to be nearby, so we swung by to check out an event we’d never heard of until a few weeks before. Reading about it on Porsche's U.S. web site made us think it would be something like Rennsport Reunion for the Midwest. Turns out SCTF is just as much of a different kind of fun. The fest Tom MooreÂ’s the man behind Dark Horse Motorsports, the motorsport consultant for Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) PR. "People love Rennsport Reunion, but thatÂ’s every three to four years," he explained. “We wanted to gather people on those off years, and we didn't want to just do a mini Rennsport, because thatÂ’s its own thing. WeÂ’ve maintained the motorsport history at Rennsport. Here [at SCTF], we're doing the current look at what Porsche racing is for." In this case, that means gathering what Moore called "our Porsche motorsport pyramid." ThatÂ’s the range of enthusiast drivers from novice to hotshoes trying to get to top-tier endurance racing, "[starting] with the progression from Porsche Club of America track days up to the top of the ladder of one-make racing in North America," the Carrera Cup North America, a series made up of nothing but the latest 500-horsepower 911 GT3 Cup cars. The three days of racing action allowed almost any kind of Porsche owner interested in clipping apexes to compete around an Indianapolis Motor Speedway layout tweaked with an infield section. This year, that included ex-NASCAR star Jeff Gordon, coming out of retirement to reunite with his longtime NASCAR crew chief Ray Evernham for the top-class Cup races. Evernham told us Gordon hasnÂ’t raced in five years and he hasnÂ’t been a crew chief in 22. On very short practice, Gordon finished in 14th in the Pro Class in the first Carrera Cup race of the weekend driving the #24 Hendrick Performance Group Porsche, and 11th in the second race. Afterward, he said, "I made a pass on the white flag lap. That made my whole weekend Â… I must say that yesterday, I thought ‘man, I am getting beat out hereÂ’ and I donÂ’t like that. If I am going to be in an environment like this, I want to be competitive. But today turned the corner for me. So, I hope I get to do another one day." When we strolled the paddock after the event, exposed sheet metal proved "Rubbing is racing" is a thing in the Carrera Cup as well as NASCAR.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
