This 1964 Bonneville Convertible is a charming, well sorted survivor. With only 2 owners form new it has been cherished all of its life. The current owner has enjoyed it for the past 18 years and during that time it has successfully participated in 2 "Hot Rod" Power Tours. This definitely speaks to the reliability of this car. The car was originally purchased in Michigan but spent much of its life in Florida.
The interior is completely original and features gold leather seats. It provides ample room for 6 adults.
The car was originally equipped with an automatic transmission that was later replaced with a Doug Nash 4+1, 5 speed manual gearbox. This addition not only improved the driving characteristics of the car but gave it unmatched comfort on the highway for touring. Its a fabulous experience driving such a big 2 door convertible and rowing through the gears. In addition to the 5 speed, the owner also sourced an original set of 8 wheels with caps and installed them on the car. These wheels have an amazing look. Additional enjoyable features include: Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Top, Am Radio with rear speaker, Tilt Steering Wheel, Retractable front seat belts and a truck that is the size of a small apartment.
Additional work performed on the car included:
Complete engine rebuild, new aluminum intake, carb, chrome valve covers
Professionally installed 5 speed manual using 1964 parts (trans was a Doug Nash 4+1)
Added RAM Air long branch exhaust manifolds
All new exhaust system
Added Original 8 lug wheels
Full brake job including master cylinder
Added new radial red line tires
Rebuilt the rear axle and installed new outer wheel bearings
All new shocks
Added rear seat belts / original front optional belts
Recently had both the front and rear bumpers rechromed
Added a new convertible top last year
The car runs, drives and performs exceptionally well. A lot of time and money has been spent to make this car fun and dependable. Yes, there are a few cosmetic blemishes along with signs of age and use but overall, it presents nicely with a totally unique presence.
