A very nice survivor car "barn find" with 45568 original miles on it . An all original unmolested 1961 Bonneville 4 door hardtop with 4 barrel 389 and 4 speed Hydromatic transmission, factory fender mounted vacumn controlled mirrors, under dash air conditioner, power brakes and power steering. The ultimate cruiser. Has been off the road for years when found. Flushed the gas tank and lines, had the OEM AFB carburator rebuilt, new battery, new fuel pump and started her right up. No smoke, knocks, raps, transmission shifts OK, no leaks. The car is 99% complete, the only thing missing that I can see is the letter "E" on the drivers' side Bonneville emblems.
All the glass is intact (windshield has a small crack at the top middle ) windows go up and down easily, door open and close fine. This was an east coast car before it came to New Mexico so it has the usual rust. There are small rust areas at the bottom of the rear doors, bottom of the rear fenders and rust spot on top of both froint fender, all easialy repaired or leave "as is" as a lot of people are now doing. the rest of the body and frame are OK. Generator charges ok, exterior and interior lights work, horn turn signal and brake lights all work. Brakes and steering all work fine, no leaks. The a/c compressor was removed by the prior owner and comes with the car. The radio (AM only) works.
Will need tires , they are dry rotted from years of sitting in the sun,I did not install new ones to keep the price low. the interior is also dried out from sitting out in the sun., you can sit and use the seats but they are dry. The dash and instruments are pretty good, so is the steering wheel. The headliner is red and in very good condition so is the carpeting. The fuel gage is not working, you'll probably need a new sending unit like all these survivors do. Comes with two flipper hub caps, two OEM caps and another set of 4 OEM hub caps.
You'll need to go through the car as it has been sitting for a long time. If you want a really great old time fun to drive cruiser at a very fair price, here it is. questions? call or text dean 505-414-0617

Posted new pics showing the bad spot on the front fender tops. My camera died so I apologize for the quality of the cell phone pics. Both fenders have the same defect in the same spot. I posted a pic of the right rear rust area the left is the same. If I was to keep this car I'd leave things the way they were and just drive it. The picture of the engine has my loaner carb on it so I could run and drive the car while the AFB was being rebuilt. I also offer a $150.00 rebate to help defray shipping costs if you use the BIN option at its present number ($3690.00) so the car will actually cost you only $3540.00. if the car sells for less the rebate offer is withdrawn .

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
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.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
