1969 Pontiac Bonneville Project
So yesterday I bought my dad's 1969 Pontiac Bonneville. I know for a fact that it use to run and be in mint condition. We have had it since 1995 and it went to a Pontiac only mechanic who full rebuilt the 428 7L engine. It is pushing about 600 torque, which is very important on a car this big.
Well today I change my first spark plugs (NGK) and I have a huge list of whats needs to be fixed. Luckily, the body only has a few minor rust areas which I will eventually get a re-spray on, and the engine only has 25K on it, but the interior, top, and floor boards are the major areas of fixing right now. I have videos that I will eventually post of todays runs. The first run is horrible because I didn't change the plugs yet and the second one had a huge puff of black smoke come out of the tail pipes because it has been sitting so long that it needs a well needed oil change. I don't plan on finishing this next month. I want to keep my savings just incase something goes wrong with the Galant or another issue in my life happens, so I am trying to play it safe whiles I slowly get what I need for it.
