What’s special about this listing

1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible

Immerse yourself in the charm of mid-century motoring with this elegant 1960 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. The white exterior and fully-functioning power-retractable soft top are beautifully contrasted with a tri-color red interior, featuring vinyl upholstery and matching red carpet. 

The 2nd-generation Pontiac Bonneville was available for the 1959-1960 model years in a variety of body styles, all fitted with a V8 engine. It was the first Pontiac to have the wide-track system. Three (3) second-generation Bonnevilles have sold this year for an average price of $54,000. 

This beautiful convertible is powered by a Pontiac 389ci V8 engine and a column-shifted three-speed automatic transmission. It’s equipped with power windows, brakes, and steering. The rare Kelsey-Hayes eight-lug, fourteen-inch wheels are accentuated with rear fender skirts (not currently installed, but included with the sale). The 5-digit odometer reads 29,313 miles.

Located in Rancho Mirage, California, this car was purchased by the current owner just over a year ago. He has driven it just over 100 miles and unfortunately has to part with it. It is being represented in this sale by Robert Lewis of CLASSIC.COM. 

This Bonneville has been inspected by a third party to ensure transparency. Known issues are typical of a car of this age and are outlined below. 

The sale includes approximately 9 years/39,850 miles remaining on a transferable 10-year/40,000-mile warranty.
