Description:


You are viewing my 1960 Pontiac Bonneville two-door coupe. This particular Bonneville was fully restored in the last several years and is far and away the most striking '60 Bonneville I have ever seen. The Mahogany color (paint code NN) of this Pontiac is just spectacular and it has a stance that really hearkens back to the car culture of Southern California in the Sixties, when having the coolest ride meant everything. As you can see in the photos and in the video provided at the link below, this car is in extremely nice condition, with a wheel and tire combination that certainly enhances the attitude of this beautiful boulevard cruiser. I have never driven a car that gets as much positive response as does this Bonneville. In an age when everyone seems lost in the ether of the internet world I think that the bold body lines and confident stance of this car have the power to snap most people out of their trance at least long enough to watch it roll by like something out of another time. I love turning on the stereo (there's an FM receiver tucked tastefully in the glove compartment) and just rolling around town at about 30 mph in this fine piece of American style, letting the world pass me by. Do that for an afternoon and you'll realize just how insanely and unnecessarily rushed we've become. My hope that at least one person who's seen me cruising has stopped, if only for a moment, and reevaluated why in the heck they're blowing by me like Chicken Little. And maybe, just maybe, they have decided to do a little cruising of their own. I apologize for the digression, but this car just inspires sunny thoughts of lazy summer days spent soaking up the best that life has to offer.
Most of the particulars of the Bonneville have been covered in the summary above, but certainly if you have any specific questions, feel free to contact me. I love talking about this car and just old cars in general. Your email will give me a chance to put my feet up on the porch while I type up an answer. And please don't hesitate to come out and look her over in person. Even if you don't take her home, I think you'll enjoy seeing her up close and personal.
Here's that link to a video of me cruising and some extra photos: here
And here is a nice walkaround video of the car. As you will see, this Bonneville has been restored beautifully, while keeping what I believe to be the original interior. And it also has the numbers matching motor: here
I have owned and collected classic cars for the last 26 years, beginning with the 1969 Dodge Charger I bought when I was sixteen, and which I still own today. I still own my 2nd car as well, a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am, which I drove from my senior year in high school through to my second year of graduate school in the department of English at the University of Central Florida in Winter Park, FL. So my passion for classic cars -- and especially Mopars -- has been a lifelong pursuit and is about the most fun I can imagine having. I am an Oxford-educated motorhead that's been car crazy since bell bottoms were in style the first time around. And because I love to find, own, drive and collect all kinds of classic cars, there comes a point when I have to sell a few of them to keep my collection manageable, or else they all don't get exercised like they should. This is one of those times. My collection has expanded to about 23 cars, when really, if I am totally honest with myself, I should get it down to about twelve so that I have the time to drive and enjoy them all. I am a firm believer that cars should and need to be driven. And when I can't drive them all enough, I go through the painful process of letting a few of them go on to new owners that will hopefully get out there and drive them more than I have time to. That is why I am offering the 1960 Pontiac Bonneville coupe for sale at this time. Please contact me with any questions, I hope to hear from you.
