1967 Pontiac Bonneville Hardtop Coupe

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

“The strikingly new Bonneville may be synonymous with luxury-but let us not forget what, in fact, inspired its name.” The 1967 Pontiac Bonneville Hardtop Coupe represented Pontiac's full-size flagship for the 1967 model year, built on GM's B-body platform with a perimeter frame chassis. This generation introduced a revised front fascia featuring vertically stacked headlights.

The Bonneville offered Pontiac's 400 cubic-inch V8 as standard equipment, replacing the previous 389, producing 265 to 360 horsepower depending on carburetion and compression ratio. Buyers could option the 428 cubic-inch V8 for greater output, both typically paired with a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.

The hardtop coupe's defining architectural feature was its pillarless roofline, eliminating the B-pillar for an unobstructed side profile when windows were lowered. Lush carpeting, Carpathian elm burl styling on the instrument panel, electric clock, deluxe wheel discs, rear fender skirts, and more, all standard equipment reflecting the model's position as a premium personal-luxury variant within the full-size lineup.

This lush Burgundy 1967 Bonneville was sold new through Smith & Waldrop Pontiac-Buick in Cullman, Alabama, and includes the original dealer bill of sale and period photographs.

This 1967 Pontiac Bonneville Hardtop Coupe is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
