I have for sale a very good running and driving 1963 Pontiac Bonneville convertible.  I purchased the car from the original owner of 50 years.  This Bonneville comes with the original invoice and Pontiac Inspecto-Plate.  The 389 engine starts right up and runs strong with automatic trans that works well.  The car rides nicely also.  The odometer reads 71217.  The power top works well and is in good condition.  Nice top boot included.

The original interior is in remarkable condition for its age.  The interior is fairly rare with bucket seats, factory console, and floor shift automatic.  The car also has the factory manifold vacume guage that works.  The driver's seat has a couple of rips/seam separations and the dash has the common (4) cracks.  The front/reat of the dash is very good.  The guages are clear.  The carpet is worn.  The door panels are really good and the back seat is very good.  The rear seat side panels are good too.  The underside of the top is nice. 

The car has power steering and power brakes that work well.  Good glass.  The chrome is presentable and the stainless is too.  The rear bumper does have a shallow dent.  The engine sounds good and I have seen no leaks.  The automatic trans shifts well and brakes are good.  The car has manual windows that work.  The radial tires are roadworthy and I have driven the car several times this summer with no problems. 

The body is pretty good for 50 years old, but the rear quarters have had past repair.  I am no bodyman, but I can see evidence of repair.  The trunk floor has also been attended to in the past, but seems solid.  The driver's side floor pan also has a small patch present.  The balance of the floors and frame appear to be very good. The bottom edges of the rockers appear very good. The frame does have 1 to 1 1/2 inch holes present on the outer surface of the frame rail just in front of each rear wheel. This area does seem very solid there though. The car does ride well.  Underside has the usual surface rust and some scaling. 

Everything on the car is currently working except the clock.  The radio works, as does: wipers, battery charge guage, fuel guage, horn, headlights and dims, all turn signals and their green arrow indicators, brake lights, heater and defroster and 3-speed blower, oil pressure guage, temp guage, speedometer and odometer.  The radio is a JVC stereo cassette.  I have not tried the cassette.  Forgive me if I have ommitted any small feature either working or not.

Overall, this is a very useable and enjoyable 1963 Pontiac Bonneville convertible that runs and drives well.  The car looks great with its white body and teal-colored interior, especially with the top down and the soft convertible boot snapped on.  The car has plenty of power and sounds and rides good.  The real wood in the dash is even in fair shape.  A good 60's Pontiac convertible driver.
