Offical Darksider!
This past Saturday my 61 Bonneville showed up! I bought this off The Monkey here on PY. Scott did a fantastic job restoring this car, the upgrades and modifications are top notch. Multiport fuel injection, Tremec 5 speed, cruise, power windows and heavily modified suspension top the list, but there are many more features that aren't mentioned here that make this car the ultimate cruiser. Can't wait for summer!

OK, I went back and read up on that car.
I hate you. Might be a good thing I didn't see it..........

Good to here it's begging to get out on the road.
As for the 66, if the gang at home couldn't convince you to keep it, I'm sure we all could... and would.... when we all showed up to kick yer butt. And I hate to hear a grown man cry. LOL I'm glad to hear you recovered from the error of your thoughts. Tell everyone there they get a high-five from me.

Nice car. That's what we Chicagoan's call a "6-body trunk".
How many know that many Pontiacs from the 60's had a 4 ft + wide trunk opening so you could haul a sheet of plywood?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
