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.

Its character is further sharpened by aftermarket wheels, redline radial tires, an aluminum radiator, and a number of chrome engine-bay accents that give the car a tasteful enthusiast-oriented presentation.

The 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop is the kind of Mopar that gets enthusiasts interested before the hood is even opened. Its clean B-body lines, pillarless hardtop profile, Soft Yellow paint, black vinyl roof, and Magnum 500-style wheels give it the restrained factory muscle look of the mid-1960s, but this example carries much more serious hardware underneath. Showing approximately 91,610 miles, it is powered by a 440ci big-block V8 backed by a TorqueFlite 727 automatic, giving it the kind of drivetrain combination that feels right at home in a classic Plymouth. Add power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, and a dual exhaust system, and this Belvedere blends old-school Mopar attitude with enough comfort to make it more than just a weekend bruiser.
