Re-listing with NO RESERVE this time First off, I am listing this car for my father who is the original restorer. He is available for questions and I encourage you to ask any prior to bidding. All questions need to be sent through the contact seller option. Up for auction is this beautiful 1965 Pontiac Bonneville convertible that is being sold as a “period correct” restoration with some minor modifications from original. It has a period correct 333hp 389 big block V-8 and a turbo 400 automatic transmission. It has the Posi-traction rear axle and the very rare and desirable 8-lug wheels with fresh tires. Power windows, power top, power seat, a factory stereo in an uncut dash that is trimmed in real wood that was the trademark of these classic cars. The stereo still has reverb kit. Although it is in non-working condition as finding somebody capable of repairing proved to be difficult. There is no factory A/C option on this car and A/C was never added. Custom cloth velour seats over original factory frames are very comfortable, even on the long road trips. The odometer reads approximately 17,400 miles and was reset at the time the car was restored. There were a couple of donor cars involved in this build, therefore this is not being represented as a “numbers matching” car. So please do not ask if the numbers match, and please do not expect them to. The VIN matches the car as it should be and the title is clean. Only body parts and mechanical components were used from the donor cars, no funny business with the VIN. This car was built to be a driver and that is just what has been done with it. The motor and transmission were both rebuilt at the time of restoration. Therefore the odometer reading is correct for the drivetrain. The convertible top is the original one that was put on the car at the time of restoration. There are a couple small holes in it (see pics) from something inside the well rubbing through it. There will be a brand new top, still in the box included for the new owner to install. The tires were replaced a couple years ago due to a tread separation on one of them. There is less than 500 miles on the tires right now. The car was repainted 4 years ago after a small garage door incident on one front fender. For fear of the paint not matching, the decision to repaint the entire car was made. I will not misrepresent the paint by using words like perfect, flawless, or show winning quality. However, I will say that it is glossy, with a shine that turns heads everywhere it goes, and is great for a “driver car”. Bidding will start at $1,000 and will sell with no reserve Please do not bid if you do not intend to pay. Ask questions first. Car is for sale locally and auction may end early if sold See our other auction for a 68 Cadillac Coup de ville "Survivor"
