Last is my latest big Poncho, just got her a few weeks ago... Another Bonneville Brougham but this time a 4 door hardtop. She is really an untouched car, zero rust and with original (but beyond help, like my White Cat the photos hide the true condition) paint, mint original interior (I swapped in the Woodwheel for fun this last week) and a mint Cordova top with zero bubbling. Mechanically she is all original and untouched but the engine bay needs detailing thanks to someone painting the top of the engine Ford blue in the 70's when the timing gears were changed as well as what looks like a battery that sprayed the inner fender with acid.

She has 60,000 original miles and almost all of it before 1979. I'm the second owner. Mechanically she runs very nice but will need a big going over thanks to 30 years of hibernation. She is heavily optioned including neat options include a complete and functioning Instant Aire pump. Options include, tilt, gauges, PW, power seat, power trunk, lamp group, AC, factory floor mats, tinted glass, wire wheel covers, cruise etc

You can't look at this car without talking about the color scheme. It is the result of a mix up when the car was ordered; I have the original order form and the car was not built as specified, first they forgot to install the power locks that were ordered and then the colors! The car was ordered with a gold interior and a gold top but it came through with a green interior and a black top. The reason is that despite a big two page photo of exactly the car as he ordered it in the 69 Brochure there was no gold interior available in a 4 door Brougham.
