    I'm now 68 and have spent my life LOVING cars. My first was a 1965 Chevy Impala...4 door w/283 cu in. V8 and a Powerglide. It was owned by an elderly man and had 72,000 miles when I bought it. I drove that car to college and took many road trips in it. Dead reliable although the drum brakes pulled to the right...never could get them adjusted correctly. At 126k miles I reluctantly sold it and moved on to a 1971 Buick LeSabre. Those were the days...this took me back.

    The interior fabric is not Leather. It was designated Morrokide by Pontiac. However, it is really Naugahyde or Vinyl.

    A neat tip I learned from bicycle restorers is to use fine bronze wool instead of steel wool, steel wool imparts tiny particles of steel in the microscopic pits in the chrome and soon as it gets wet it will rust again very soon.

    • @userprime01
      @userprime01 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      A tip I learned a long time ago is to dip the wool (fine steel/brass) into paste wax - the wax will help keep the rust from returning quite so quickly.

    • @VincentVagabond
      @VincentVagabond ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have to kindly disagree in regards to steel wool. I have used it on some really rusty metals and chrome and it does wonders! The problem with must people using it is they use the wrong steel wool. It has to be quad zero steel wool (0000). Water and the steel wool together or even WD and steel wool works great. I also make sure to coat the finished product in some high end wax and polish.

    Very cool video! I liked it very much! I am from Russia, a small town in the Far East. I remember myself as a child in the mid-80s. We walked in one of the districts of the city and a similar Pontiac stood near the house for a very long time. We circled around him, looked into the windows of the car. Then, apart from Soviet cars, we did not see any others. We really liked this car. It was apparently brought from the states by some sailor and for some reason this car was not moving. Maybe it broke, or maybe this sailor went on his next voyage. Cool, very cool. You Americans are very fond of cars, especially rare ones. This is noticeable and you can restore them, make them literally masterpieces from old cars. This is what I like about you. I like to watch programs on TV where you restore old cars in car services for someone. For example Cool tuning with Chip Fuzz.

    This is a amazing 1967 Bonneville in original condition after your fantastic detailing it’s something to be proud to own. I’d keep the hideous floor mats as they are most likely from that period of time, and also it’s something the grandmother most likely had picked out when first purchased. I also agree that the hubcaps are also original as they are exactly what I remember from that time period. I also remember the missing fender skirts as those Bonneville’s always had them when the car was new. I have a feeling that they are still somewhere in the garage since we didn’t see them in the car. The reason I’m also pretty sure that this one had them would be that there didn’t appear to be Crome on the wheel wells of the rear fenders. I hope that they are able to get the car driving now that it looks so awesome!

      Look closely there’s no trim over the wheel wells which tells me that it did have them from the factory. The ones that I saw growing up that had them had no trim. Folks who took them off did so because of choice, and if ordered without skirts would have had trim on the well just like the front finders as you see on this car with its trim being there, and not the back. I grew up with the Bonneville’s in my family’s history. The cars were always beautiful, but the finder skirts were sometimes a problem as the cars aged. I still have a pair for a seventy-nine out in the barn even though the car is long gone.

    I have gotten many barn finds on the road over the years.. to get back on the road will be between $2500-$3500 after tires, new fuel system, brake overhaul, underhood rubber components, all new fluids, miscellaneous repairs etc. Great video!! (Edit: this is assuming you are doing all the work, not paying someone!)

      Same here! All the rubber turns to plastic, and the fuel system is a huge must to attend to. Engine gaskets and seals... I found out all of this the hard way 27 years ago! I have picked up some beautiful 7ps cars and thought that a clean garage kept body meant just tune up and go. The fuel system was smelling and acting weird. The car was smoking like a broke stove and lost power! I pulled the fuel tank that was rusty and old fuel. I pulled the intake and the gasket was non existent and the same with the carb and valve stem seals. I'm driving, but need new valve stem seals on my 1978 Dodge D-150 from Cali a few years ago. Happy hunting!

      I owned a 68 Pontiac Executive which is the same long wheelbase as the Bonneville [ 125 as opposed to 121 ] and it had the same quarter panel stamping and it had no cutout for fender skirts . Did all long wheelbase have fender skirts ? I appears not

    I would guesstimate between $2,000 and $3,000 to get her up and running. All new fluids, filters, radiator flush, maybe new water pump, recore radiator, new tires, brakes, new battery and budget for a few surprises. The fact that the motor turns is very encouraging. Soft top might be repairable. Electric soft top mechanism probably needs going through. Good that it has a glass rear window. Just a wonderful original classic car! Keep her in the family!

    1967, and so familiar to me. I'm close to 63 years old. My dad bought a brand new 1967 Pontiac Catalina from Emerson Pontiac in Pekin, Il. I was such a car guy, even at the age of 7.... I can remember like it was yesterday walking through the show room and looking at the cars. Emerson had a new 1968 Firebird on the show room floor. It was loaded and a convertible in a dark green color. Dad's 67 Catalina was a medium blue 4 door hardtop. Oh the memories of the day, and the way that new Catalina smelled. Pontiacs were so distinctive in their styling. Great, great symbols of an iconic time in Detroit. "Wide Track Pontiac" was the slogan of the day.
