Vehicle Description
HIGHLIGHTS: 389 Tri-Power V8, air conditioning, and original color
combination! Well-restored, classic cruiser ready to hit the
streets!
BODY OVERVIEW: The body is clean and straight, showing that this
car has been cared for since the restoration took place. The
styling on this car speaks for itself, and this is a great example
of just how substantial two-door cars once were! Though this is an
older restoration and some very minor imperfections may be found,
overall the condition is impressive.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The body is finished in the correct color
of Fernando Beige; a color that looks stunning on this '60s GM.
While it is showing some age here and there, this is a perfectly
presentable classic ready for your weekend cruises or local car
shows!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior is even more beautiful
than the exterior! Though all of the interior colors are a version
of brown, they work well with the exterior color and the interior
is oddly charming. The interior has held up excellently since this
car was restored, and you could almost believe it was installed
yesterday!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood is a correct Pontiac 389 V8
with a tri-power carburetor setup. The engine starts easily and
runs smoothly. As large and unassuming as this Pontiac is, make no
mistake: this is a quick little cruiser. One big alteration from
original has been done, and understandably so: this Pontiac is
fitted with an aftermarket modern air conditioning system to ensure
cool air on a hot day!
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: There's something special about an
early 1960s classic muscle car that isn't like every other Camaro
or Mustang that you'll see at car shows. This particular example,
hasn't been overdone and customized; a reminder of the cars that
were there but didn't quite make the highlight reel.
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: The paint shows very well, but
it is an older paint job that has a few daily use type of flaws in
the paint.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? This car is ready to go!
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? If hot rods and muscle cars
aren't your thing, but you want to be able to keep up if need be,
this 1961 Pontiac Bonneville would be an excellent selection.
Whether its car shows, weekend cruising, or simply the occasional
drive to the store, this Bonneville fits the bill.
