1963 Pontiac Bonneville Sport Coupe

Description

The third-generation Pontiac Bonneville debuted in 1961, and was slotted above both the Catalina and Star Chief, with a more luxurious interior, more exterior trim, and a more upscale design. Bonnevilles were built on a longer wheelbase for a more comfortable ride. Offered in a variety of configurations, including a four-door sedan, Bonneville Safari station wagon, and a coupe, the Bonneville was the Pontiac luxury car to have. For 1963, major changes came to the table in the form of what became Pontiac's distinctive stacked vertical headlights and a redesigned grille. 1963 also marked various trim and bumper revisions, and the addition of new upholstery patterns.

This 1963 Pontiac Bonneville is has a 389ci V8 mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. It has a front bench seat, and has been fitted with seatbelts. Under the dash, a Stewart Warner auxiliary temperature gauge is mounted alongside a Dual Bluetooth stereo. Outside, this car features Bonneville-specific emblems and trim, chrome front and rear bumpers, and the distinctive Bonneville 8-lug wheels. It is equipped with power steering and power brakes.

This 1963 Pontiac Bonneville Sport Coupe is now offered with a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
