THIS BONNEVILLE CAME FROM AN ESTATE AND HAD BEEN STORED FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS. MILES ARE LISTED ON TITLE AS ACTUAL BUT I'M NOT SURE OF THAT. SHE'S PRETTY ROUGH. FRAME IS SOLID; FLOORS ARE PRETTY GOOD, JUST A FEW SMALL HOLES IN TRUNK AND FLOOR PANS. BODY MOUNTS APPEAR GOOD. WE HAD IT RUNNING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO; GAS TANK HAS BEEN FLUSHED.AND THE CARB SEEMED GOOD. IGNITION SYSTEM IS ALL NEW AND SPARK WAS HOT. ENGINE RAN FINE WITH NO SMOKE OR NOISES. IT HELD WATER. UNFORTUNATELY IT QUIT AND NOW WILL NOT START. I THINK THE TIMING CHAIN WENT. THE BRAKES SEEM TO HOLD THE CAR AND IT DID GO IN GEAR FORWARD AND REVERSE. FLUID IS CLEAN. STARTER WAS REBUILT BUT ALTERNATOR IS NOT CHARGING. I WOULD FIGURE IT NEEDS THE CHAIN AND PROBABLY THE HEADS DONE. IT IS A 389 PONTIAC V8. BODY WISE, BOTH DOORSKINS ARE LOOSE AT BOTTOM EDGE; IT HAS SOME RUST IN LOWER REAR 1/4'S AND OTHER THAN THAT IS SOLID. ALL GLASS IS INTACT AND THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELDS ARE BOTH GOOD. THE FLAT SIDE GLASS HAS SOME HAZING AND A FEW CRACKS. THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR IS PRETTY WELL SHOT BUT ALL THERE. THE FRONT BENCH SEAT ALONE IS WORTH MUCH MORE THAN THE STARTING BID. IT'S AN AMBITIOUS PROJECT BUT ALL THERE INCLUDING NEARLY ALL THE STAINLESS TRIM AND CHROME. I BELIEVE ONE DOOR MOULDING IS MISSING. FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS ARE BOTH SOLID AND GOOD CORES. THIS PONTIAC NEEDS TO RIDE AGAIN. IT JUST NEEDS A GOOD HOME. LAST BIDDER BUYS IT SO USE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT BUT DON'T LET IT GET AWAY; THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE AUCTION. DON'T MISS THIS CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY AND SOMETHING YOU CAN WORK ON AND CHERISH FOREVER! I AM SELLING THIS CAR FOR A DEALERSHIP CALLED COACHWORKS AND IT WILL BE SOLD THROUGH THEM.

Thankyou.On Nov-03-11 at 16:49:12 PDT, seller added the following information: I WENT BACK TO THE CARLOT TO ANSWER A QUESTION OR 2 ABOUT THE CAR AND I DECIDED TO ADD A LITTLE TO THIS AUCTION. THE ONLY PIECE OF STAINLESS I SAW THAT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE WAS MISSING WAS THE MOULDING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS INCLUDES ALL THE FIN CHROME. ALL 4 HUBCAPS. AND ALSO THIS VEHICLE HAS THE FENDER SKIRTS WITH IT!!! THAT'S AN EXTRA 200 DOLLAR VALUE!!! (I WILL ADD PICTURES IF EBAY WILL LET ME BEFORE THE WEEKEND GETS HERE)
