Question So, I bought this crappy old '67 Bonneville, Plum Mist w/bucket seats, right?

Turns out that it's also got headrests and an optional reclining passenger seat.

How odd is this?

Cool find and great color, especially w/the white interior. Rare options, especially the head rests. Will you be restoring the car or parting it?

Not Nearly as odd as you are!


Those seats would look good in my 68 GTO.

Absolutely.

If that $300 includes a weekend alone with you in a pup tent.

I'm against parting out pretty much any Pontiac.

It has to be pretty far gone in order for me to allow that to happen.

My feeling is that we need to put as many of these things back on the road as we can.

Question What's with...

all the Plum Mist cars turning up recently? Chuck bought the 34K mile wagon on E-Bay...which is the first wagon I've seen in that hue .Yesterday we started watching a '67 GTO post car on E-Bay in....you guessed it. Now, today at a car show, I am approached about a '68 Bonny ragtop for sale...also Plum Mist. I thought this was a RARE color? lol Nice find...btw. Ron

Maui.

You pay the airfare and meals.

Oh, and I just found the PHS, but I scanned it as a .pdf and not as a .jpg, so I can't shrink it down to fit here.

Maybe some other time....

Certainly, I'll book the flight for one adult and one child. You can use the pup tent when we get there, I have a REAL tent.
