Mike, I hauled quite a few of those Bonneville SSE's and many many 93 TAs out of St. Therese, PQ up until just before Thanksgiving of 93, when our Anchor terminal was closed.
That Bonneville SSE's was quite a car. Fit and finish was pretty darned good too. Where was your built?

Cool picture of the '92 Bonnevilles on the hauler.
That was the last year of the 'bullit proof' 3800 that still had an aluminum upper intake plenum. I bought a drivable deer hit '92 Bonne seven years ago for the wheels/tires, strut assemblies, interior trim parts. Should have kept the engine/trans out of it because it ran like a watch. Would have been worth fixing the front body if the brake & fuel lines, rockers weren't all rusted. One of the lines to the rear brakes popped on the 25 mile drive to the shop where I parted it out. |

I agree, this one is my favorite (obviously I'm biased). Illustrated by David Kimble, Pontiac provided it to dealerships in this 2 ft by 3 ft poster format, I don't think very many have survived.

Quote:
fortunately the supercharged version doesn't have an upper plenum, so my '95 with over 120K miles still strong, is on it's 2nd supercharger and 4th set of intake gaskets but heads never off.
