Thought you guys might be interested in seeing the progression of this. Today my dad added a new Pontiac to our collection. It is by far the coolest and slowest one of all of them. 1966 Bonneville, droptop, close to show condition, 82000 mi. It's got a 421ci V8 with a TH400 trans.

If it was a different color I would be in love... but not digging the color. Very clean tho for her age.

I see how you are, pick one boat over the other...the crownline is a customers. The 1,150 hp/100mph+ Baja 272 is in the barn there.
 




Here's a update on the bonne from last fall, I'm a little late but I just found these pics

Had a few soft spots on the frame that we were not real thrilled with. We bought it from a online auction from pictures only....obviously not the brightest idea but for the price we went in expecting the worst anyway

we also put a full ram air restorations handling package on the car with oversize sway bars front and rear, tubular upper and lower control arms and braces that bolt the two arms together, cargo coils in the rear, new gas shocks all the way around, a custom calibrated Turn One racing power steering box. Prolly some other stuff I'm forgetting

thank you all, the surprising thing about it is even though it weighs in over 4000 lbs it will still move out of its own way atleast, the 421 has some grunt. She pulled on a LT1 camaro last summer to 90 mph. And with 2.56 gears she gets between 18-20mpg
