Yep, 8 lugs would do wonders. Rally II's as well although they were not available in 15" in '68 according to the accessory book.
Something odd I noticed on that car. The convertible top frame appears to be painted silver or aluminum instead of black. A new convertible top with a more contrasting color would also help the looks of this car.
The strato-bucket seats are nice. I sure wish they kept them into the '69 model year. And yes, the interiors of the '68's were nice. Better than my '69, :-(

Man I really, really got the hots for a nice 67 Bonneville Brougham Coupe....Love the roofline on these cars!!

Buddy of mine got a low mile Gold on gold black top 4 dr 67 Brougham 400 with one repaint out of a small private collection. Almost bought it, but I really am in love with the coupe body so I passed on it waiting for a coupe.
Now I kinda wish I had bought it none the less while waiting for a coupe, but it's too late... he sold it to someone else long distance.

Now I just got to hope that I can find a 67 coupe !!

Check out E-bay now. The '68 Palladium silver 2 dr coupe Brougham is for sale again in Carson CA. Same roof line as the '67. Superficial changes only to the grille, tail lights, and interior.

Yes, I saw her being relisted last night.
Funny since I pulled up and looked over the old "ended" listing just a few hours before she resurfaced!

Unfortunately this really is too much of a project for me right now.
I think she need to be gone thru completely...
He says the previous owner pulled her out of a barn. So she has probably been sitting for ages.
That pretty much mean it will snowball into at least a full blown frame on mechanical and cosmetic restoration.

I am already in the middle of a frame off resto of my 1970 GTO vert which started in 2008....
Together with all the small projects on my other cars my job and other stuff I just don't see me being able to do this 68 as well.

I do think she would be quite stunning if she was back in her Original condition!

I agree about her being a stunning car when restored. Palladium silver, black tweed interior, black vinyl roof, 8 lug wheels. Yep, she'd be gorgeous. Hope she finds a good home. Someone who appreciates her.

Lots of Bonneville's being listed repeatedly lately. Guess that's the way it goes.

I'd be interested personally except that I am getting ready to put my '69 Bonneville convertible on the market. :-(

I've been following the full size car market on eBay and craigslist for many years and this is definitely how it goes 90% of the time. There are cars that do sell and you don't see them surface again, but I'd speculate that a great majority of cars being sold will not actually be sold - whether that's due to price or fickle buyers I couldn't say but I'll hazard a guess that price plays a big role here.
