1961 Pontiac Bonneville

This 1961 Pontiac Bonneville convertible is finished in red over tri-tone red vinyl upholstery, and it was recently acquired by the seller through the purchase of a multi-vehicle collection. The car is powered by a 389ci V8 that was overhauled and fitted with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an electric cooling fan, an alternator, and electronic ignition during refurbishment work performed circa 2015. Further equipment includes a four-speed automatic transmission, a power-operated white convertible top, 14″ eight-lug wheels, whitewall tires, and dual-cylinder power brakes as well as Vintage Air climate control and a refurbished translucent steering wheel. This Bonneville convertible is offered with a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name. The car is finished in red and features a power-operated white convertible top along with a split front grille, quad headlights, six taillights, and polished side spear trim. Close-up photos of the paint and trim are provided in the gallery. Eight-lug 14″ steel wheels wear Coker Classic whitewall tires, and a full-size spare is stowed in the trunk. A dual-master-cylinder power brake system is fitted. The bench seats were reupholstered in red and burgundy vinyl during the refurbishment, and color-coordinated upholstery covers the doors and rear panels. Vintage Air climate control is fitted. The AM radio plays static and the power-adjustable driver’s seat works intermittently. The translucent steering wheel was refurbished and features a semi-circular horn ring. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 89k miles, approximately 300 of which were added under current ownership. The 389ci V8 breathes through an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and the engine was overhauled and an electric cooling fan, an alternator, and electronic ignition were fitted under prior ownership according to the seller. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. An oil leak is noted. Additional underside photos are available in the gallery below.
