1962 Pontiac Bonneville 2 Door Hardtop Barn Find on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1962 Pontiac Bonneville. The car has sat since 1971, it has 94784 original miles. It runs good with no smoke out of exhaust. I have it currently running with a gasoline "I.V." as the fuel pump is bad and fuel lines are rotted. the car does move forward and in reverse like it should but I have not driven it due to no brakes and tires are old. It has p/s, p/b, a/c, p/antenna and trunk light. The a/c is complete and still has the belt hooked up, the compressor does engage but of course doesn't blow cold. it does have the original 303 hp 389 engine and trans. I bought the car from the original owner's family along with various Pontiac parts. It is a 1 owner car, I have the clear NM title from 1967 and some of the paper work for the release of lien and application for NM title dated 1967. The original owner owned a local auto parts store and bought the car new in Amarillo, TX and spent it's whole life in Albuquerque, NM. The paint and interior are original and has never been wrecked, no paintwork ever as far as I can tell. there are a few rust spots that I have pictured, in front of the rear tires and in the trunk other than that the car is super solid. I have the original radio but the volume mast is broken, the original jack assembly and spare is there, just removed them for pics of the trunk. The original air cleaner is missing along with 1 hubcap, other than that the car is pretty complete. It has 1958 Pontiac hubcaps on it now just for aesthetics. I also have the original keys. The car has not been modified from original everything is stock. This is a no reserve auction. I reserve the right to end the auction early as I have it for sale locally. If you have any questions please e-mail or call Paul (505) 263-3077. Buyer responsible for shipping, thank you and good luck!

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
