My uncle has all kinds of old, weird cars. He recently got a 65' Bonneville 4dr hardtop sedan that had been setting for a few years, but is still a very solid car. It is white with black interior. He has not tried to start it, but I was under the impression that he was going to get it running and sell it, like he normally does when he gets a old car. Anyway, he lives on a country road along one of the local large rivers and he had the car parked in his yard- at the area nearest the road. Seems like some jerks had drove by and busted some windows in it according to my uncle and now he says that he is going to pull the engine and tranny and junk the body.

I really like these cars, but I have no time, no space or money to restore this car, as I am restoring my Caprice and about ready to buy a new/nearly new car/truck.

Now, I would love to rescue this car, but its not possible. Just how crazy is it for him to junk this car? I think around 80,000 of these were built, but you do not see too many these days. I think they are cool looking too.... they have a low look to them. Whats more, is that this is an extremely high optioned model..... power windows, power locks, tilt, cruise, power seat, AM-FM radio, climate control A/C, power steering, power brakes and I think even power antenna! Am I crazy for wanting the car saved, or does anyone else out there crazy too and think that even though this is a 4dr car, it should be saved?

I would have thought my other uncle- a Pontiac nut would have bought it, but his time is now focused on a 1965 Oldsmobile F-85 Deluxe wagon he just acquired that is in EC for only $400!

Hopefully, I can convince him not to remove the engine from the Bonnie.... or bite the bullet and buy it and kick myself later?
