HELLO, UP FOR AUCTION IS A WELL OPTIONED AND ORIGINAL 1963 BONNEVILLE CONVERTIBLE PROJECT CAR. THIS CAR WAS OWNED BY ONE FAMILY FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS, HAVING BEEN PASSED DOWN BETWEEN GENERATIONS AND APPEARS TO HAVE 86,000 ORIGINAL MILES. IT WAS LAST DRIVEN AND TAGGED IN 1969 AND WAS STORED FOR 43 YEARS. THIS HIGH OPTION MARIMBA RED WITH IVORY WHITE POWER TOP LUXURY MUSCLECAR CAME EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY BUCKETS AND FLOOR SHIFT CONSOLE, GAUGE DASH WITH CHROME VACUUM GAUGE, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, POWER WINDOWS, HYDRAMATIC, SAFE-T-TRACK POSI REAR AND THE VERY DESIREABLE 8 LUG ALLOY WHEELS. THERE IS SOME SPECULATION WITHIN THE ORIGINAL FAMILY ABOUT ENGINES. THE CAR SHOWS 421 BADGES ON ORIGINAL FENDERS, WITH A POSSIBLE DEALER INSTALLED TRIPOWER SETUP. THE CURRENT ENGINE IS A 36P 4 BARREL 389. THE 389 DOES NOT RUN OR TURN OVER, WAS PARTIALLY DISASEMBLED WITH THE TRI POWER IN THE TRUNK AND HAS BEEN COSMETICALLY REASSEMBLED AS SEEN IN THE PICTURES. THIS IS A RESTORATION PROJECT THAT NEEDS FULL MECHANICAL AND BODY REPAIR. THE FRAME APPEARS SOLID AND MOST OF THE BODY PANELS APPEAR TO NEED PATCH PANEL TYPE REPAIRS. EARLY PONTIACS HAVE A STRONG VALUE WHEN THEY ARE RESTORED. NADA GUIDES PLACES A LOW RETAIL VALUE OF $22K FOR A DRIVER GRADE CAR AND OVER $57K FOR A FULLY RESTORED EXAMPLE. THE NATIONAL AUCTIONS ALSO REFLECT SIMILAR VALUES FOR WELL PRESENTED EXAMPLES. BONNEVILLES OF THIS ERA WERE BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL ICONS OF THE EARLY MUSCLECAR YEARS AND ARE WORTH RESTORING! DON'T MISS OUT. THIS IS A 10 DAY AUCTION ALLOWING AMPLE TIME TO RESEARCH AND ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING AT 302-584-7885. PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN UNRESTORED AND UNMOLESTED MUSCLECAR PROJECT. PLEASE REVIEW AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE. THANK YOU AND BEST OF SUCCESS!
