I bought this Bonneville from a frend who was a Pontiac bodyman. He restored it 13 years ago in Pittsburgh then moved to Charlotte. He did a remarkable job on the body and frame.

It needs work on the suspension and interior. I'm waiting on an all new 8-bolt brake system From Rodger at Custom Circuits, I like the bare aluminum look so I ordered the 63 drums.

This winter I plan on rebulding the total suspension front and rear.

I had a 64 Bonneville in the 70s and always wanted another, the ride, the performance, the handling, the 4-speed Super Hydro, I never drove another car like it.

This would be impossible without the parts and help I get from Performance Years, Ames, and POCI.

Thank you,
Jeff Kalas
