Picked up another big car in August and finally got it home after two months of transport delays. It's a 49,000 mile survivor Bonneville Wagon and I'm the third owner. First owner had it until his death a couple of years ago. Very heavily optioned car (428/360, TH400, duals, every power option, AC, cruise, tilt etc) and very original. Paint and interior are untouched but the original black Cordova top was replaced by a jobber top (seams don't have that GM look).

Sold new in Ohio (then Virginia) but obviously never out in inclement weather and always stored indoors. Original paint looks good in pictures but it was waxed so often that it's worn through in many areas. Interior is amazingly clean and original right down to the carpets and gold mats (not repro'd). Runs well but could use a new exhaust system.

Great documentation including the original window sticker and all the original purchase paperwork. The rear air deflector is on the original dealer invoice but not the PHS. This explains it being gold, It should be roof color, maybe the dealer didn't know it should be satin black to match the Cordova top so they painted it body color.

Bit of trivia, on the original dealer paperwork the letterhead mentions that that dealer (Avery Pontiac in Columbus Ohio) was the oldest car dealership in the world. I assume they meant the oldest dealership still operating?
