AquamarineExperience classic American automotive luxury with this 1963 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible. A hallmark of its era, this iconic vehicle embodies the peak of 1960s style and performance with its newly painted Aquamarine exterior, chromed accents, and refined aesthetics of a non-panoramic windshield, chromed hooded headlights, and wraparound-style dashboard adorned with chrome and faux wood.
Under the hood lies a robust 389 cubic inch (6.4 L) engine, gracefully outputting 235 horsepower at 3600 RPM and 303 ft-lbs of torque at 4600 RPM, paired with a smooth 2-Speed Hydramatic automatic transmission. While the engine remains unrebuilt, its top, intake manifold, valve covers, and exhaust manifolds have been freshly painted, preserving its vintage charm and functionality.
Equipped with power assist brakes and a rebuilt power steering pump, the car promises a superior and confident driving experience. The independent front suspension—complete with upper and lower A-arms, coil springs, hydraulic shocks, and an anti-roll bar—ensures smooth handling, while the rear suspension mirrors this design with upper and lower control arms and hydraulic shocks.
Inside, the Bonneville boasts bucket seats and a ribbed stainless steel center console featuring a manifold pressure gauge. The factory-installed instruments maintain their original chrome bezel, complemented by aftermarket temperature, oil pressure, and ALT gauges, ensuring a modern, yet classic touch to the driving experience. Power windows both front and rear enhance functionality and convenience.
Highlighting its blend of style and utility are signature design elements, including ribbed “Bonneville” fender trim pieces, inset chrome rear bumpers, and upward-curved, chrome-encased tail light covers. The car notably offers more comfortable interior space and a more relaxed ride—a testament to its design as Pontiac’s top-of-the-line, full-size offering from the early 60s.
Completing this vintage experience are standard steel-type wheels adorned with factory hubcaps, dressed with classic 14-inch White wall tires. This Bonneville Convertible comes with a clean title, ensuring a hassle-free ownership for its next proud owner.
