I think she just got a name, just popped in my head as I was uploading the pics.

But here's our 1996 SSEi, took her for a wash and wax and buttoned her in the garage before the big snow storm we had. Keep her nice and clean for a while.

I know there are multiple people on here that want this car.

It has it's flaws but you know what, it's been worth every penny so far. The red and chrome torque stars just pop. Even though it's a "grandma car" Bonneville. I'm surprised how many people give it a second look.

Your welcome to a ride in it, since you are the one that found it. (If I ever make it to a meet, hopefully this summer).

Id be willing to trade for the Limo :poke:

Man I love that car. I've always wanted a '96-99 SSEi with chrome torque stars. Have had a couple slip through my hands. Someday....

Every looks to be doing ok for now, got little rust starting in all the normal places. Still real clean compared to most of the garbage I see driving around here.

It's had pretty much everything replaced, struts, wheel bearings, axles, rebuilt transmission, new supercharger, new exhaust, new brakes, front bumper cover was repainted at sometime. It looks extra shiny compared to everything else. Don't know if the lower end of the motor has ever been touched, original owner didn't think so. But it still holds 80 psi of oil pressure.

We got it from the original owner :btruestory:

Will need a new set of tires soon and a torque axis mount but other than that, its been a great car so far.

Stunning. I want a red one too.... despite vowing never to buy a red car again after having two Tornado Red VWs, and suffering the constant battle of keeping the paint from fading to pink!
