1967 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible. Repainted it's original Fathom blue with original white interior. I had all dings and scratches along the sides removed before new paint was put on. The car does not have A/C and does not have power windows, a plus in my book. It does, however, have power steering and brakes. The interior is in great original shape, I saw no reason to change it. It is original only once. The 400/325hp 4 barrel engine was rebuilt by the previous owner and runs very strong and has a lot of power. The T 400 transmission shifts smoothly and has no issues. I had the trunk pans replaced along with the trunk seal. The convertible top was replaced along with the pads, cables and top motor. (The original motor worked, but was very slow, so I put in a new one from Ame's performance Pontiac.) The glass rear window was also replaced and is new. The top has been down only one time since it was installed. ( I don't want to wrinkle it, drives my wife crazy). All 5 tires are recent, about 3000 miles on the 4, the spare has not been on the ground. The bumpers have also been reconditioned. They look brand new. The exhaust system new at last Pa. state inspection, April 2012. The original am radio still works.
Issues: There is a slight oil leak, I believe the pan gasket, (Noticed when moving it after 4 months of sitting in garage), the fuel gauge does not read. I have a new fuel sending unit. These 2 issues I plan to address before the sale. The dash has a crack at the speaker grille. I have been trying to locate a replacement dash pad, no luck so far.
This is a gorgeous Bonnie, It handles and rides as it did when new. effortless steering and braking along with the "Wide Track" Pontiac ride. It gets a lot of attention whenever I take it out or go to shows.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
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.
