Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)
Just showin off my past rides I had. No random order. I built all my rides including sewing the interiors. Most of them are big blocks if not then they were small blocks with multi-carbs. I had alot so I don`t want to bore everybody at once so here are the Mopars.
Actually same year but different model. Christine is a Fury while my is a Silver Special. More rare than a Fury because only 250 were made. It was the cheapest model with almost no options and it wasn`t offered to the public for sale. It`s a demo for a dealerships.

Mopar or no car, I use that line too. The "Great Pumpkin" is a 59 Dodge Siera wagon with PS, AC, PW, PDB drop spindles, air ride, swivel bench seat, 361 bored to 383, posi cop car rear from a 84 Diplomat. The "Green Machine" has a 1964 318 Y block with 2x4s, 8 3/4 posi rear 3:55 gears, Volare spindles for power disk brakes.. The big gold Imperial has a 413 and everything is original.
Here`s the Green Machine today. Somewhere in Wisconsin and running a 2 barrel now. I heard the guy is going to make a Christine clone with it. I built it in 1998 and still looks like nothing has changed on it. The color is a satin seafoam green.
My cars with intesive suspension work.
83 Delta with Deuces after I took the hydraulics out.
68 Impala with hydraulics. FACTORY 396 turbo 400, posi, ps, pb, cold ac.
61 Brookwood. Full air ride with chrome suspension. 6cyl, ps, pdb, and full 64 Impala SS interior.
Those are cars I had. These days I have nothing because I`m married with kids The last old car I had was over 2yrs ago, 64 Riviera. I usually buy, build, keep for 1-2yrs then sell it because I want something else. I haven`t had an old for a while, my wife wants to get a Nova this year

Did the Riviera have the 455 in it with a quadra-jet. Those motors were awesome torque monsters, and when the secondaries opened up it sounded like it might suck in the hood. A nova would be a fun one, any year in particular? Keep us posted sounds like a fun family project.
455 came out in 1970. My Riv had a 425 360hp with 2 fours.
When I met my wife I was driving a 67 Nova wagon, it was my daily driver. I think she wants a 66-67 2dr ht or wagon. I do too but the 2drs are expensive because they`re rare. My friend has a 68 with a small block and I can get that pretty cheap. If I get a 68-72 I`d want a big block in it.
It`s been awhile since I posted some more of my past............
60 Impala all original
63 SS with a 74 sb400
58 Brookwood all original except power disk brakes.
