SHOW & ENJOY As America's third best-selling automaker since 1962,
GM's Pontiac Motor Division rode atop the high-performance wave
under the guidance of engineer and fast-rising industry legend John
Z. DeLorean. The Bonneville stood as Pontiac's top full-size model
line and combined aggressive styling cues, premium amenities and
performance. Fittingly, this 1968 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible
was owned by drag racing legend Arnie "the Farmer" Beswick, who
dominated Super Stock, Factory Experimental and Funny Car classes
with his wild Pontiac racing cars during the 1960s. Quite rare
today as 1 of 7,358 examples produced, this 1968 Pontiac Bonneville
Convertible of a fabulous offering in its factory-specified Solar
Red paint finish, complemented by a Red interior and Parchment
convertible top. Remaining in highly original condition, the
Bonneville is a two-owner car from new and the odometer reads under
10,900 miles. Power is delivered by the 340-horsepower, 4-barrel
400 CI Bonneville V-8 engine, rebuilt and bored 0.030 over. A
column-shifted automatic transmission delivers the power. Passenger
amenities include the Red bench seat interior with matching seat
belts, a factory pushbutton AM radio, wood grain accents, and power
windows. The driver is greeted by a factory 3-spoke steering wheel
with tilt column. Power brakes and power steering deliver a relaxed
driving experience. Exterior highlights include hide-away
headlights, rear-fender skirts, chrome bumpers and Pontiac's
exclusive 8-lug wheels with integral brake drums mounting Whitewall
tires. Dual exhaust delivers a throaty note. A roadside jack and
tools are included. Offered with distinguished provenance, this
outstanding, highly original and very well equipped 1968 Pontiac
Bonneville Convertible is a wonderful touchstone to Pontiac's 1960s
sales dominance and drag racing history. Ready to show and enjoy,
