I'd use that '70 Bonneville as a daily driver until the snow falls.

That thing is pretty slick!!!

We are getting our one or two days of snow today, so I'd be driving it daily 363 or 364 days a year here in Oklahoma.

IF I was a single guy,
I'd cash out my IRA for that 2+2 and have it restored. But...

My favorite year of B bodies.

Big project, but really a unique car with the best colors!

I'd be making an offer on the 4 door, if it wasn't 1000 miles away...

65 Cat Convertible, by the looks of the Chevy Style Q-jet with a hot air choke, I don't think it has the original engine, but could be just an intake swap.

I bought that '70 Bonneville, i've been looking at it for awhile. The guy I bought it from is a Pontiac guy and bought the car out of a local Judges estate. It was bought new in Ritzville and never left town until yesterday. Plans are to add long branch manifolds, 2.93 posi and dual snorkel air cleaner to help that 455 breath.

Cool!!! Do you think the miles are original???
Wow, how are you getting it home???
I had a 64 Bonne is similar condition, but the 70 really appealed to me being a 455 and having a TH400, and in such good condition.
Hope you post about it, when you do these things to it!!!
Man having disc brakes makes that a perfect car, for what it is, to me!!!
My 64 was a 4 door hard top also!
If you pass through Oklahoma and need anything, let me know!!!

Well done. But you HAVE to keep that pedestal mounted 8-track player in the car. MUST!!!

I'm having the car shipped to me and it wasn't all that bad (little over $1,000) but the guy came off of the price of car enough to make it worth it. As far as the parts, I already had the parts and a friend of mine had the Posi rear. I'm having the car shipped to his house (he has a lift) and i'm going up on the weekends to make the changes.

I really wanted a 2 door but I bought this for 1/2 the money of what a 2 door would have cost. Most people hate a 4 door but I look at it as a plus, same ride but 2 extra doors. This is my 455 Catalina I had a while back, I'll probably take a month and clean it up the same.

Way Cool!!!
The 70 is a much better looking car, my opinion...
Being a high compression engine, I'll be curious how it runs on today's gas. My 64 was very finicky...
I'd be tempted to put the 068 cam in it, to also help with breathing.
Those cars seldom came with disc brakes...
The 4 door hard top is pretty cool. Looks strange with both doors open on one side at same time...

I'm glad you got it. I have enough to work on, as it is. My 77 T/A, 67 C10 pickup, 68 C10 Golden Anniversary pickup

That's the first big car I've seen with the factory 8 track on the transmission hump. Very cool.
