Hi Folks,

You are bidding on a Rare Rust-Free 1969 Pontiac Bonneville 3 Seat Wagon. This Bonneville shows 58K on the odometer and although I cannot verify it ,I believe the miles to be true which I will explain below. Looking at the interior pictures, it shows hardly any wear and I consider it to be Mint for 45 years old with 58K miles. 

This Pontiac is even more rare with it's Midnight Green Lower Body and Limelight Green roof. The PHS docs and cowl tag verify paint code 57 and paint code 59.

I have owned this car about 7 years and recently decided to consolidate my vehicles and I came to the conclusion the time has come to sell this piece of GM history.

I can tell you I have poured over every inch of this car and I cannot find any rust. The car appears to have been undercoated when new and that saved the body panels, additionally the car spent its entire life in Oklahoma, and Climate controlled Chicago land.

The reason I believe the miles to be correct is the car had it's original brake pads and unturned rotors on it when I purchased the car. I did replace the front disc pads but did not turn the original rotors. The same is true for the rear brakes shoes, except the shoes are original.

The original 428 gave up the nylon timing gear 2 years ago so I pulled the motor and installed a new double roller chain and gears, rings, bearings, Ram Air cam and lifters, cam bearings, HV oil pump, crank bearings, water pump, and all seals and gaskets. When I disassembled the motor there was not even a ridge on the cylinders which is why I believe the 58K miles. I did not bore the engine it just didn't need it. I added the NOS chrome valve covers and an original 69 dual snorkel air cleaner from a 1969 Grand Prix. I have the original air cleaner but it was dented.

The suspension is all original, and has new shocks, I did add air shocks in the rear, the steering is tight and all the rubber bushings look good. Transmission, rear axle, and drive shaft all good. The Bonneville literally floats down the road. 

Exhaust is OK and will probably need replacement in the next few years.

The air conditioning BLOWS COLD and still has the R-12 system. Radiator is a brand new Harrison Reproduction. Installed new hoses and belts with the radiator.

New tires less than 500 miles. Still had the bias-plies but the were dry rotted. The original Goodyear Polyglas spare has NEVER been mounted and has the original markings from the factory.

The Interior - everything works including the clock and radio although the rear speaker needs to be replaced. Heater, lights, wipers, horn, turn signals, power seat, and power rear window all work. Door panels, seats, and dash all in mint condition. Carpet is a little faded in the back and on the door panels, there is also some scuffs in the cargo side panels. Headliner is original and in mint condition.

Exterior - Rust free original panels, roof was repainted the original Limelight Green and is OK  very shiny but the metallic is a little blotchy. The tailgate, left and right taillight area has had some repair at some point in its life so the paint has some cracking, I tried to show this in the pictures. I believe the doors have their original paint as do the hood and the right fender. Notice the still shiny door jams! I had the left fender touched up on top because of some spilled brake fluid. The Midnight Green lower paint really needs to be repainted as the original Acrylic Lacquer and touched up areas are showing their age and a re-spray would make the car look awesome. The trim and chrome is all good with only the rear bumper needing replacement (scratched and a dent). Glass appears original and in good condition. I installed an NOS Endura nose and emblem. These are not reproduction but NOS pieces. The nose has no filler in it.

What you have a an excellent driver that's looks good,TOTALLY RUST FREE, and only needs some paint to make it show quality  

I have replaced at lot of parts and the car can be driven reliably across the country. I have tried to describe the Bonneville as best I can, but not disassembling the entire car I'm sure I missed something. The car is  almost 45 years old (built Oct. of 68) please keep that in mind.

I will include in the sale(if the price is right) an NOS rear bumper, 4 Full Size Pontiac Rally II Wheels, extra chrome, dash parts, NOS taillights, NOS ball joints and a box of original T-3 headlights, plus all the brochures shown in the pictures.

Please contact me with any questions..

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

There 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.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
