My new 66 Bonneville
Well after driving past this car for 4 years I finally was able to contact the owner and buy this neglected baby for $500. It was parked in 1989 due to a steering box leak. the owner has already rebuilt the motor at 130,000 miles and put another 100,000 since the rebuild. I am locating some parts and working with my friends to get it running and then decide what to do next. My wife is actually excited about this car since I never let her drive the GTO! Will keep posting as progress (or lack of) happens. I already need an oilpan due to punching a big hole in mine unloading from trailer. An Omen? Nah, what else can possibly go wrong.....

It's worth twice that in scrap value and now it isn't heading for China. Good result all round I say.

Many thanks for rescuing from the crusher. You have a diamond in the rough and I am sure you'll have her polished up and looking good.

A very nice ride at a great price. I think you'll enjoy it for years to come.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
