1965 Pontiac Bonneville Cabriolet 6.4 V8
In 1965, the fourth generation Bonneville was launched, the body received a major lift with larger fender flares over the rear and even more clear "Coke bottle" design in the front. Mechanically, the same engine followed from the previous generation, but now with an updated 3-speed automatic gearbox with built-in torque converter. The chassis was longer than the previous generation for even more space inside the cabin. The instrumentation was updated and a newly designed upholstery now graced the interior.
This example was imported from the USA in 2003 and has had 4 users during its time in Sweden.
Newly painted in 2020 in original Pontiac red. There is no rust on the car as the car is frame lifted, everything has been replaced or inspected. New soft-top including a new pump and hoses have been changed for the convertible. Cab stand is stripped down, blasted and painted in black. New exhaust system fitted (Dual). New front bumper. New rims and tires from GO-trading (2021).
New black leather upholstery. There are also new door sides in matte black vinyl ordered from Solberga bil & smide in Aneby (2022).
A lot of time and money is spent on this car to get it to as good as new condition.
Inspection exempt where the last inspection was carried out in December 2020.
