What yall think?.. 66 Pontiac Bonneville?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Well ive been in love with these a while now.. and i might be getting one

a 1966 Bonneville Convertable.. in good condition.. but they swapped in a 400 engine that works immaculate.. already lowered on new suspention. needs some bodywork tho.. but not a whole lot.

probably not going to protour it.. but just as a nice driver..

what you guys think of this OG fullsize?

[BA.]

love the mid 60's pontiacs! under-appreciated, 4500lb behemouths!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Yea man this thing is HUGE!!!!!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif
heres the one im getting.. its stance on it is blazin..

but i have to wait a while on a paintjob.. cause the Camaro is my numbero uno priority..

i might Rat Rod it out and spray it with flat black primer and it needs a new top so ill prolly get a burgundy top and throw on some whitewall smoothies..

hahahhaha can you guys dig it?

[hdesign]

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

A Pontiac with a Pontiac motor...I say do it!

[Steve Chryssos]

Love it! :cool:

The way I see it, every hot rodder should have one pro-touring car and one couch (a big old comfy hot rod)

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

man im not even sure this will fit in a normal parking space.

[Bill Howell]

Me likey! That would make a great "big brother" for the Billy Goat!

[Rick Dorion]

man im not even sure this will fit in a normal parking space.
You're right. It'll fit great with me as I live in the country with lots of room :) I'll buy it! Nice cruiser. Good luck.

[muthstryker]

its a yatch! can you say holy huge?! they are nice when done right

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

well guys picked it up today!!.. i never had so much fun being a captain of a ship!.. ill take some photos tomorow!

unfortunately i didnt realize it needed some gas and it conked out at my house.. im trying to revive it right now..

i put in about 2 gallons of premium gas and primed the carb and it still wont damn start!!!... grrr.. and it has a good battery.. boy this is frustrating.. but i tell you.. the engine is so quiet!!! i shoulda damn filled it up.. bu t i was having so much fun.

i dunno. hope its just that..

[IrvJr]

Love the car. :cool: Wanna sell it?

[formula]

That thing is incredible. I want one.

[Damn True]

Cool car. We had a Catalina vert when I was a kid. I thought it was the coolest car in the world at the time.

[shmoov69]

I had a guy in a 64 bonneville vert try to trade me for my 58 Nomad in Indy at the Goodguys show. I told him no go, like my wagon better, but cool car nontheless! I'd prolly put some old style hot rod scallops on it and hammer it with white's and steelies, but that's me!!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

oh Jimmy.. we are on the same wavelength bud!

heres what she looks like now.. and folks help me out check the Emergency forum and help me! :D

False alarm.. drives fine!!!

[CliffS]

Congrats, that's a beautiful car!!

[BA.]

I had to post up this picture and stats page before tossing the old magazine out.

[shmoov69]

BA, instead of pitching all those old mags, it may be appreciated to send them to the guys overseas. I am thinking about doing that with all my old ones. I know that they are old, but still better than looking at sand spiders!

[BA.]

I can do that! I'm a Marine, I feel for the boys. Where can I send them??

[shmoov69]

I am not sure, I will ask my buddy that just got back.

[Scott Parkhurst]

I got two words for ya...

Astro Supremes


Drop it, drive it, love it.

~SP~

[myclone]

I am not sure, I will ask my buddy that just got back.

If you find out how to do it please PM me or post it here. I have tons of car mags that Ive saved instead of throwing away in hopes I could somehow get them to our guys (and girls?) over seas.

Venomous Type,

Sweet road barge...Id roll it as is in a heart beat.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]
