Part
of an extensive and prestigious So-Cal automotive
collection, this is an extremely rare, well restored
and very special car.
A beautiful AACA Grand National and Senior Winner
finished in it's original "Calypso Green" body color,
"Patina Ivory" coves and tastefully updated "Patina
Ivory" roof panel. From the sweeping roof line to the
ribbed deck lid and onto the gloriously abundant
chrome/stainless factory trim, you will find this beauty
exceptional...
Adding to the excitement is what resides under the hood
and between its long legs. Retaining its
original/optional "Tri-Power" configuration, 3 Rochester
2bbl carburetors feeding 370 cubic inches of pure
Pontiac muscle fitted with 10.5:1 Compression Ratio
Cylinder Heads and High Lift camshaft produced a strong
300HP at 4600 rpm. Weighing in at just about 4,000 lbs,
Hot Rod Magazine tests at the time documented Zero to 60
Times of only 7.6 seconds, very impressive indeed...
Did you know? In 1958, the Bonneville ceased the role of
model designation and became its own "Series-25" line.
The name 'Bonneville' was originally used by GM on a
pair of bubble-topped GM Motorama concept cars called
the 'Bonneville Special.' The name came from the
Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah where many land speed
records have been set over the years...
In closing, this is 1 of only 9,144
coupes built and 1 of VERY few produced with the
300HP "Tri Power Option".
Fire up your rockets and take a trip back in time, this
is a very fine example... |
