Wide Track Pontiacs of the 1960s are red-hot right now, and not
just because the brand is an orphan in the GM family. Collectors
have discovered that nobody did luxury and power better, and so
innovative cars like this 1960 Pontiac Bonneville convertible are
at the top of the Pontiac collectability charts. So with
ultra-desirable options and an upgraded tri-power V8 under the
hood, this is your ideal distinctive classic.
With only about 17,000 examples produced, this was one of the most
expensive and lowest production number Pontiacs for 1960. So just
imagine how few you see today, especially in this exceptional
condition. Coronado Red is a year-correct color that was applied
later in life. Today it has a bright style that looks great on a
sunshine-friendly convertible. And this one also looks particularly
nice with the top up because the newer white convertible roof goes
so well with the whitewall tires for a hint of two-tone flair. But
it's much more than just distinctive colors that will turn heads
with this one. The top-of-the-line Bonneville meant plenty of
delicate trim, and amazingly, this car still wears it with bright
pride over 60 years later. The new bold front end for 1960, the
double-dipping chrome bumper in front, and the fins that run the
whole length of the rear - it all means that nobody will mistake
this for anything but a senior Pontiac. And the continental kit is
a great finishing touch.
As much as we like the way this one looks with the roof in place,
it really looks its best when open to the world. The clean and
detailed maroon interior harmonizes nicely with the deep red
exterior. The two-tone upholstery, matching convertible boot, and
artful steering wheel are all part of a detailed style that makes a
classic like this awesome. And the premium Bonneville means premium
features, including a power seat. And the power windows and power
convertible top are a great way to make it easy to open this
classic to the world.
The engine bay has the turquoise block, generator, and details to
look quite honest and correct. But those finned Offenhauser valve
covers should clue you in on the added power of the later/larger
400 cubic-inch V8. And we know you spotted the bold Tri-Power carb
setup. But more than just big horsepower, there were also nice
investments in the cooling system, a new water pump, and a new
steering box to keep this one a solid driver. Power steering, power
brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission make for an
all-around easy boulevard cruiser.
This Pontiac is a head-turning drop-top that's made for getting out
and cruising. Call today!!!
