1963 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible Parts Car - Complete And Very Original on 2040-cars
Clarksburg, Maryland, United States
|
Selling as is, where is, parts car or very ambitious restoration project: 1963 Bonneville Conv. factory equipped, I believe, with its original 389 2 barrel Carb. engine and 4 speed Hydramatic transmission, PS, PB, and black leather interior. I bought this car 19 years ago running and driving but with lots of frame and body rust showing I already had a '63 Grand Prix and a '63 Catalina convertible, and I didn't want this once great car to be scrapped. I stored car in reasonably dry storage and just got it out of storage a month ago. I have subsequently taken a very careful look at its condition. I removed the remaining top material to look at top bows and other parts - these all look OK. I have oiled all the top joints and believe the top assembly is serviceable. I took out the seats (the OEM bolts unfastened on the front seat) and removed all the old carpeting and factory insulation. The drive-shaft tunnel looks OK. There are small holes in front floor pans; the rear floor pans have holes in them and the area under the rear seat is quite rusty, These convertibles had reinforced rocker areas. There is substantial rust in these areas. The rear frame behind axle is completely rusted away as is the entire trunk floor. The only thing holding the rear of the car together are the rear quarter panels and the trunk lid and its connections. The front of portion of the car is good condition: core support, inner panels, grilles, front suspension - seems to have the 4 original wheels. The engine is complete but I have not tried to turn it over. Almost nothing is missing from this car - it is very complete as built. If you want additional additional information, I will be happy to provide it. Interested parties are welcome to inspect the car first hand. It is located near Middletown, Md., about 5 miles off I -70, near Frederick..

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
