Not a 78 but a clean 77 with the wild Velentia Interior If I had room I would be interested in this one, unusual orange exterior.

Another 77, w/400, looks to be decent for the money. http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/4779863694.html

Thanks Again. I am trying to find a low mile original which needs the bare minimum. (like maybe a tune up or tires). I have found a few but don't agree with the prices....I know sometimes you have to step up. I found 1 example of a nice car just under 10k miles. Original owner bought new...they said $50k would buy it....where do people come up with this? Anyway, I know a decent one will come up, just might need the help to find it.

$50,000.00? Really??????? that is probably a $15,000 car tops!!!!! Heck I just bought a Very Clean 78 Catalina Safari with 37,000 miles for $5000.00. People can be nuts. Good Luck I will keep looking for you.

I think I might have found one and it's LOADED. Will post if all goes through. Question: Does anyone have a way (other than PHS) to find out production numbers for a '78 Bonneville with the Pontiac 400 4 barrel? I had found it a while back and it seem to be a very small percentage.

Great News!!! As for Pontiac 400 production numbers, all I can find is that 97,251 were put into Firebirds in 78, that's all Models.
I believe that the Catalina and Bonneville were the only other Body styles to get 400's from the Factory (besides the wagon versions of each) So if you can find out how many 400 V-8's were made, and divide that by 50% you would be close to the number of Bonneville's with the 400 V-8. They made 125,297 Bonneville's in 78 by the way.

Not sure if any options not on it. CammerJeff would like to talk to you some day. Appreciate your Pontiac enthusiasm and help. They's a few thing I want to replace couple damaged trim pieces, not terrible but would like better. So looking for a few parts, also want to find rear wheel trim molding so no skirts, I want to see the wheels...would Catalina trim work? It's still on trailer will try to post picture. Or look at this the original ad http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/4736778357.html |
