Been staring down that R word (retirement) for several years now trying to figure what I'll do when I keep on not growing up. One thing I've always wanted was to work on restoring/rebuilding an old car. Like '60's or earlier. Convertible as well as a decent size engine are primary requirements.

Couple of weeks ago came across an ad on FB Marketplace for a '63 Bonneville that looked awesome. Little over 61k miles. This thing really checked all the boxes. Garage kept by both previous owners mainly used for puttering around town on occasion plus car shows. I can tell it had been repainted over the original coat. Upholstery, front and back looks fabulous. Zero cracks or fading. Has all the trim pieces. The underbody still has a lot of the original coating.

Of course there's plenty of mechanical/electrical work to be done which I'm fine with. According to "the INTERNET" this is THE place for Pontiac owners so hoping to glean plenty of info. Clips below in case anyone is interested. Now I just have to clean out the garage!
