1973 Pontiac Bonneville 4dr 400 T400 Ac Ps Pb **low Low Miles** Florentine Red on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
|
This 1973 Pontiac Bonneville is a time-capsule. The interior is like-new with the only flaw being that the foam on the driver's side seat bottom is flattened out - it's forty years old, it deserves to be flattened out a bit doesn't it?
We are the 4th owners of this beauty. The first gentleman bought is new after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. After he passed away, his wife parked the car under her carport and left it there for many years. Eventually, the local high school marching band put out a call for donations to purchase new uniforms and equipment and she decided to donate the Bonneville to their cause. They raffled off the car and the 2nd owner won it by purchasing a single $5 ticket! He kept it for many years and showed it periodically before selling it to the 3rd owner, who drove it home from Ohio (I think) to Texas and parked it and only drove it periodically. We purchase the Bonneville from the owner in Texas and he delivered it to us here in Las Vegas! The Bonneville is ALL-MATCHING with a 400 CID engine with 2-barrel carb, A/C (currently not working, unfortunately), PS, and PB. The previous owner told us he had tried to convert the AC to R134 and it worked for a while and then failed. We haven't tried to repair it. We have replaced the spark plugs, rebuilt the carburetor and installed new gas-charged front shock absorbers and air-shocks on the rear (to replace the originals which were leaking). We also installed a new thermal fan clutch but still have the original, dated clutch. The only really noticeable issue on this Bonneville is that it was parked under a tree full of NASTY BIRDS at some time in its' life - probably while living in Texas (out in the country) and the paint on the hood, roof and trunk is covered with bird-dropping-caused burned marks. We had the top surfaces wet-sanded and buffed which helped tremendously, but it's still burned pretty bad when you look for it. It looks great driving down the road, just not show car quality. It could easily be stripped and repainted to put it back into top condition. The side vinyl moldings are not factory (and also are not quite straight, with a few wobbles and waves). There is also a bit of damage on the front of the passenger's side rear door and the rear of the passenger's side front door - maybe something got slammed in the door? This is clearly shown in the pics. The car starts right up and drives down the road well. Mechanically it is in excellent condition. All electrical items such as turn signals, brake lights and headlights work correctly. I will verify the actual mileage and update the auction tomorrow. I recall that it is around 25-27k. Please email any questions. I can get pictures of any specific areas, but no picture collectors, please. Thank you for taking the time to look at our auction! GOOD LUCK! |

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General 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.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
