I have for sale a very good running and driving 1963 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. I purchased the car from the original owner of 50 years. This Bonneville comes with the original invoice and Pontiac Inspecto-Plate. The 389 engine starts right up and runs strong with automatic trans that works well. The car rides nicely also. The odometer reads 71217. The power top works well and is in good condition. Nice top boot included.
The original interior is in remarkable condition for its age. The interior is fairly rare with bucket seats, factory console, and floor shift automatic. The car also has the factory manifold vacume guage that works. The driver's seat has a couple of rips/seam separations and the dash has the common (4) cracks. The front/reat of the dash is very good. The guages are clear. The carpet is worn. The door panels are really good and the back seat is very good. The rear seat side panels are good too. The underside of the top is nice.
The car has power steering and power brakes that work well. Good glass. The chrome is presentable and the stainless is too. The rear bumper does have a shallow dent. The engine sounds good and I have seen no leaks. The automatic trans shifts well and brakes are good. The car has manual windows that work. The radial tires are roadworthy and I have driven the car several times this summer with no problems.
The body is pretty good for 50 years old, but the rear quarters have had past repair. I am no bodyman, but I can see evidence of repair. The trunk floor has also been attended to in the past, but seems solid. The driver's side floor pan also has a small patch present. The balance of the floors and frame appear to be very good. The bottom edges of the rockers appear very good. The frame does have 1 to 1 1/2 inch holes present on the outer surface of the frame rail just in front of each rear wheel. This area does seem very solid there though. The car does ride well. Underside has the usual surface rust and some scaling.
Everything on the car is currently working except the clock. The radio works, as does: wipers, battery charge guage, fuel guage, horn, headlights and dims, all turn signals and their green arrow indicators, brake lights, heater and defroster and 3-speed blower, oil pressure guage, temp guage, speedometer and odometer. The radio is a JVC stereo cassette. I have not tried the cassette. Forgive me if I have ommitted any small feature either working or not.
Overall, this is a very useable and enjoyable 1963 Pontiac Bonneville convertible that runs and drives well. The car looks great with its white body and teal-colored interior, especially with the top down and the soft convertible boot snapped on. The car has plenty of power and sounds and rides good. The real wood in the dash is even in fair shape. A good 60's Pontiac convertible driver.
Please feel free to ask any questions. Personal inspection is available and encouraged. Sold As-Is.

Fri, 08 Aug 2014General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There 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.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
