    Pontiac always had a "way" with styling.
    Exterior and interior.

    That is one loaded Bonneville! Very Very Nice, but I think the seller could find places to but at least another gallon of armor all on it, The steering wheel really?
    I like everthing about those years Bonneville & Catalina's exept for the squarish gages.

    i bet if you had kids not buckled in on that backet seat, they'd be sailing from side to side going around corners. No way to stay put with all that armorall.

    If it had the base cloth seats it would be a lot more desirable to me. Better would be cloth with the buckets and console, but still, a lovely car. Not so sure about that price, though.

    A really beautiful car, but I'd have to ask what is the actual market value for a showroom-condition '79 Pontiac? I'm thinking he might have the 'first bid' price a bit high. Should get some interest if started out at say $6,000, and then let the bidding process handle itself. It might end up near $7,500........

    Currently at $7500 with reserve not met. I like this one quite a lot and the colors and high options are very good. The 350 V8 (rather than 301) really ads to the appeal.

    Great looking car. Love the color. But why show photos of a diffferent engine and tell people the car will look like that? Just do it and post the actual engine.
