1958 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible (highly Optioned, 100% Complete, Rust Free) on 2040-cars
|
This is a totally original 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible. This is a real Bonneville, not a Chieftain conversion. All the options on this car came on this car. None of them were added. So many of the Bonneville convertibles that you see now were basic cars originally. Most of them were bench seat, 4-barrel, Power Steering, Power Brakes and standard radio. It seems that they are now bucket seat, tri power, Sportable or Wonder Bar Radio, Power Windows, Antenna and even Factory Air. Several have been converted to Fuel Injection. This car came with every major option with the exception of factory air. It has bucket seats, tri power (with original air cleaner), Sportable Radio, Power Steering, Brakes, Windows, Antenna and Spinner Wheel covers. It came Deauville Blue with a Cashmere Blue Spear and light blue top with a blue liner. These are absolutely stunning colors. From the best I can tell, it is 100% original paint. It had the original top on it when I bought it but was threadbare and I removed what was left of it. The interior had been redone in button and tuck which was popular back in the day. I removed that and the original leather was still intact underneath. There wasn;t much left of the original sparkle carpet and I threw it away. I believe the car to be 100% complete. I have the Power Antenna and long rocker moldings which are not presently on the car. The car has beautiful floors, trunk and lower body. There is a very small amount of rust on the passenger side rear quarter. I mean small. I am the third owner. I know nothing about the original owner but the second owner who I bought the car from bought it in 1960. He drove it until 1972 when he said it was running rough and thinking it needed a timing chain and gear (old Pontiacs were notorious for that), he put it in his basement and it sat there until I bought it in 2006. (34 years) The car was in Ogden Utah. I am selling this car because I have 5 - 58 Bonnevilles (3 convertibles which are all tri power, bucket seat cars and 2 hardtops which are low mileage fuel injected cars. At my age (69) I don't know that I'll get around to restoring it and I have 11 other cars in addition to the 58's. I feel like it is time to downsize a little bit. This car is not cheap and I don't have to sell it. However, I challenge you to find a more complete, higher option , more solid 58 bonneville convertible to restore. I'll be glad to discuss the car with anyone who has an interest. My name is Joe Evans and my home phone is 409-938-0780. I encourage anyone who is interested to fly down and view it in person. I live 35 miles south of Houston. You would fly in to Houston Hobby. I'll be glad to pick you up , take you to see the car, and return you to the airport.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
