Around a year ago I got stupid & sold my 1979 Datsun 210 wagon (AKA The Turd and have regretted it every bloody day since!) I've been searching ever since,A year ago I found a 1983 pontiac Bonneville wagon sitting behind a house in a boondock town where I worked left my # with 'Stan' , Well I changed jobs & my phone was murdered and lost contacts well almost a year later I was working in the same small town and the wagon was gone I turned the corner & Taa daa there it sat in the driveway, I just had to stop and chit chat with Stan, I asked if he figured out what he needed for it? Stan looked at me and said " The battery is dead & it gonna need some work" I told him 'I'm not afraid of working on old cars' Stan " Well I wouldn't feel right taking any money for it since it doesn't run- So if ya want it, I'll just give it to ya! I went home & grabbed my wife & we drove back to Stan's to collect my car! She is a 1983 Pontiac Bonneville wagon W/a 3.8 V6 with 122.ooo miles one family owned, Zero rust!! well the exhaust is rusted out (easy fix) I need to find new 'wood' for it....
she runs real good, it has a pretty good size hole in the Z pipe (easy fix I have an extra) My wife drove it home (20 miles) And now she wants it I gave her my other Bonneville (1981)
If she wants the grocery getter, let her have the grocery getter. I used to have a '79 Malibu and an '82 Cutlass Cruiser, and I loved 'em both! Darned good design and easy on gas before the 200R4.
fixing the exhaust and driving it I was thinking of put some cheap mag wheels on it, like some kid got it from his parents in the late 80's or early 90's & finding and replacing the "woody" trim (when I find replacement vinyl)
