Hey there 🤙🏼
 

Hey everyone,

Thought I’d introduce myself as I’ve just joined & guess that’s the best way forward?

We’ve just bought our first classic car (‘61 Bonneville 4 door hardtop), & this looks like a good place to get some information & support?

While I do have a mechanical background (so hopefully some idea), this Classic World will be a completely new experience.

Thanks in advance from Paradise 🌴

Greetings from the North America. Get er running good, then body and paint. Then interior.

Welcome to PY '61 great year! You know what they say" they don't make them like that anymore" Please post up some picture's

Welcome! I have a two door now but I used to have a '61 Bonneville four door.

Welcome to the PY forums! :welcome:

Plenty of members here willing to help answer any questions you might have about your ‘61.

Best of luck with your project. :)

Welcome Mate!!!

When saying Pontiacs, most folks think of GTO's and Trans Am's, I do too but those early big cars are soon cool. I've owned my TA since I was a senior in high school. In 1995 I found a 64 Bonneville and bought it it was in very very good condition. I would still have it, if hadn't been a victim of an accident.

There's a few down under members here.
Looking forward to pictures and progress!!!

Carry on, man!!!

Photos?
 

We are still awaiting delivery, so photos to follow as soon as we have possession.
The sooner the better...

Welcome brother,

When you say you are still waiting on your Bonneville to arrive, have you bought it within Australia or are you importing it? If the latter, from where abouts??

I'm not sure how old you are but I well remember (I'm 72), a TV program from years back called "Pick a Box". The compare was a guy called Bob Dyer. He owned from new a 1961 Bonneville 4DRHT. A friend of mine eventually bought that car but recently sold it I believe. It was Silver with a red brocade interior. Absolutely stunning car.

Welcome. A lot of experience here.

Welcome Darksider!

It's great to see our kindred spirits from Australia on here. Cheers.

Hey mate,
I didn't go the import route myself - seems a bit complicated for first time adventurer like myself.
Found the car in Brisbane (not too far from home).
Oh, and I haven't achieved your Experience Level 72 just yet - I'm al Level 55

Welcome to PY Bonne61. Life as you knew it will never be the same again. LOL Enjoy as there is so much info on Pontiacs in this form you'd be amazed.

Welcome!
 

You're in the right place for some excellent advice !

Love the 4 door hardtops, such a cool look. I own a '67 4 dr hardtop.

Welcome...
