Picture 1966 Bonneville Nine Passenger Station Wagon
Here's some pictures of my wagon.
It was assembled at South Gate, Calif. and rolled out of the factory sometime in the last week of March 1966.
It was imported to Sweden, from somewhere in Nevada, USA, in the fall of 2008. The car was of course affected by the desert sun, the interior was toast, the Cameo White paint was fried but the mechanical was quite good.

It was originally a plain jane wagon, the only options were radio, slip diff rear axle, power antenna and roof rack. The third seat and rear power window was standard on Bonneville wagons.

I'm the third owner in Sweden, the first owner just imported it and the second owner, a friend of mine, bought it a couple of months after the arrival to Sweden. He started the restoration by swapping the engine to a rebuilt 389, bored to 400, he had lying in his garage and the engine bay got a well deserved touch up with fresh paint.

He also had the seats reupholstered and added a new carpet to the interior and rear compartment. A power bench seat was installed at the same time, along with a steering wheel in great condition. A new dashpad was installed, bought from a Swedish company that makes them and a new headliner was installed. The set of eight lug wheels is another add-on by the previous owner and the three 421 emblems.

Since I bought it I've added NOS taillight lenses, a NOS gas guage with low fuel warning light, a NOS heater panel, a rebuilt 4034S Carter. I've also serviced the clock, that had been standing still since I don't know when, and made some other minor updates such as a Cibie H4 headlamp conversion and replaced various rubber parts. The distributor is updated with Pertronix II and some more detailing of the engine bay, including a Delco battery topper and a AC fuel filter. To make it to look like a 421 4bbl engine I added a set of chrome valve covers and a chromed air cleaner lid.

On July 9th 2016, I sold the wagon. I got an offer I couldn't refuse.

Picture Susan's convertible project
We found this '63 Lemans convertible in Minnesota. It originally came from Sedar's Pontiac dealership in Mason City, Iowa. A 31,000 mile, one family owned car that sat so long the engine got stuck and the rocker panels rusted out.

Picture 65 project just started
65 HT full of bullet holes. 7 found so far. One in driver's side Qtr panel, 4 in the dash, one in driver bucket seat back, one in rear window trim. This car must have been a gangster rig, or moon shine rig.... who knows? The car came out of Montana about 15 years ago. I've been trying to purchase it from my brother-in-law since I first seen it. He sold it to my niece's husband. I finally talked him out of it after 5 years of bugging him. PHS doc shows it was a base GTO with a 3 speed. The only option was back up lights. Color was burgundy with white (fawn) interior. I'll stay with the burgundy but change the interior to black. Someone had done a really poor passenger side Qtr panel fix. I found about 5 lbs of bondo where they attempted to fix it. I have a new Qtr panel skin on hand to fix that issue. Other than that the only other rust is driver side floor pan, and passenger side floor pan under the seat. Oh, and a bunch of bullet holes to fix. The car is not a numbers matching car so plans are to do a complete "frame off" restoration. I have the frame in for powder coating now. I will upgrade to "Hotchkiss" suspension, Tremek 5-speed, and a 455 with the tri-power. I'm going to stuff a posi in the 10 bolt rear end. Lots of changes are in the works. I'll post more when I get time.
