SOLD

Many will know of Pontiac's Bonneville. Named after the famous Salt Flats, where countless records have been broken, Pontiac used the nameplate for midsize and full-size offerings between 1958 and 2005. This 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible is actually a second-generation car and has traveled less than 83,000 miles so far. The current owner reports that it's been restored at some point but refers to it as an older restoration, meaning it's been some years at least. However, the car still looks good and is a great addition to a collection - or as your first classic car. Let us tell you more about it, and if you're keen to acquire it, get in touch with us.
