----SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY---1959 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE CONVT. 49,500 ORGINAL MILES, 3RD OWNER. CAR WAS PURCHASED BY SECOND OWNER IN 1964 & CONVERTED TO 4 SPD & REMAINED THERE TILL I PURCHASED IT IN 2003. AT THAT TIME IT HAS 47,900 MILES ON IT. ENGINE IS ORGINAL 389 & IS MATCHING TO THE CAR. THE VIN NUMBER IS STAMPED ON THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE BLOCK. THE BONNE WAS THE 1125 CAR PRODUCED & IS A RARE BUCKET SEAT CAR.THE FIRST YEAR PONTIAC OFFERED A BUCKET SEAT OPTION & THEN ONLY IN THE BONNEVILLE CONVT. THEY ARE A BEAUTIFUL SILVER & IVORY WITH A RED VINYL PIECE IN THE CENTER OF THE SEAT. THE SEATING IS LEATHER. THE CAR HAS TRI POWER THAT HAS BEEN TOTALLY RESTORED & REBUILT BY DAYTONA PARTS CO IN FLORIDA & HAS IT'S STOCK AIR CLEANER. I CAN'T VERIFY IF THE BONNEVILLE CAME FROM GM WITH THE TRI POWER, BUT IT WAS ON THE CAR WHEN PURCHASED BY THE 2ND OWNER, IN 1964. IT DOES HAVE A/C. THE RADIO IS THE WONDERBAR STYLE WITH ELECTRIC ANTENNA ON RIGHT REAR FENDER & REAR SEAT SPEAKER. THERE IS A REVERB UNIT MOUNTED IN THE ORGINAL POSITION, BUT DOES NOT WORK. I DIDN'T HAVE THE UNIT REBUILT. THE CAR WAS ORGINALLY SILVER WITH A WHITE TOP. I CHANGED THE COLOR TO RED WITH BLACK TOP & WHITE BOOT. I JUST COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO PAINT IT SILVER AGAIN. THE CONVT. TOP SYSTEM IS NEW, BY HYDRO ELECTRIC. THE ENTIRE INTERIOR IS NEW. THE TWO LEATHER HIDES & VYNAL FOR THE SEAT COST 1,766.00 FROM SMS AUTO FABRICS IN PORTLAND, OR. ALL DOOR PANELS WERE MANUFACTURED BY SMS & ARE EXACTLY AS OEM. DASH COVER WAS MADE BY JUST DASHES IN CAL. THE BUCKET SEATS ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT STEEL BACKED. THE CARPET IS THE LOREX STYLE, EXACTLY LIKE THE BONNEVILLE CAME WITH. THE CAR IS BEAUTIFUL & RUNS DOWN THE ROAD LIKE NEW. IT'S VERY TIGHT. I FOUND A SET OF OEM DUAL EXHAUST THAT WAS INSTALLED. THE CAR IS QUIET. IT'S A GENTELMANS CRUISER. THE ONLY CAR SHOW I TOOK IT TO, WE "WON BEST OF SHOW." THE CAR HAS MOST OF THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE BACK THEN. IT EVEN HAS THE REMOVABLE TROUBLE LIGHT, MOUNTED IN THE TRUNK.THIS IS THE LAST OF FOUR COLLECTOR CARS I OWNED. I'M RETIRED & WE ARE PLANNING A MOVE UT OF STATE. I HAVE BEEN SELLING ALL MY TOYS. THIS WILL BE THE LAST ONE. THE WILL BE A NONREFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF 500.00 DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION END. REMAINING BALANCE MUST BE PAID WITHIN 5 DAYS OF AUCTION END.On Oct-27-10 at 14:00:10 PDT, seller added the following information: Here is a couple corrections to my write up. The car was stored in 1968 and also it does not have a/c. Sorry for the confusion.
