Imagine seeing that brand new beauty sitting on the dealers lot.
The interior would have sold me right on the spot.

That is the exact car that is responsible for my love of Pontiacs. July 4th 1962 my aunt & uncle drove up to our house in that exact car, top down, fresh from a road trip Kansas City to NJ. A bag of fireworks in the back seat of that tricolor interior. I was a totally awestruck 5-year-old. In 1973, it became my first car. If I had the space, I'd buy it.

Great Story Mark
That interior with any shade of Blue Exterior would be a knock-out.
Would be great if you had another one to replace it.

I was brought home as a newborn infant in my G'moms new 64 Bonneville Vert (burgandy/black/black), in Nov 1963.
It stayed in the family for a while but i never got attached to it.
A super-duper tri-tone leather interior would have made a difference, i think.

Thanks, BTW, the grills shown are from a Grand Prix. Original Bonneville grills aren't hard to get though.

There doesn't seem to be a lot wrong with the body. People don't drive convertibles in the snow, so in Denver the body is probably solid. A new interior and an ok paint job and this would be a nice cruiser.


68 Firebird is back at $18K NR due to a non paying bidder.

"There doesn't seem to be a lot wrong with the body'..
The blue 68 looks like the engine was dropped on the front radiator support area, its all wrinkled up.
The thing has major structural issues up front.
