Just One More Car, I Promise: 1966 Pontiac Bonneville 421

It isn't often that a seller includes a selfie in an advertisement, and I've never seen a shirt before that reads "Just one more car, I promise."  This is my kinda seller.  Not the selfies, I have a giant that costs a boat load of cash to buy and I'm afraid of dropping it into a lion cage or down an open sewer grate, so I avoid selfies like the plague Facebook.  Find this 1966 Pontiac Bonneville 421 here on eBay offered for $5,719 buy-it-now or make-offer, located in Boise, ID. Tip from Hugh.

20k: 8-Lug 2-Doors: 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix

The first generation Pontiac Grand Prix was a full sized personal luxury coupe offered from General Motors based on the full sized Catalina platform.  The early cars were noted for powerful big block V8 engines and 8-lug wheels; no under-engineered components on the big beast.  The Grand Prix soldiered on for years and the name was killed just short of the dissolution of GM's Pontiac brand during the 2008 carpocalypse. There were notable versions including the Grand Prix Aerocoupe...but the first generation was the best.  Find this 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix for sale in Lakeland, FL currently bidding for $16,399 reserve-not-met with 2 days to go via ebay.

35 of 50: Patricia: 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix

Before there were GTOs, the Pontiac Grand Prix was introduced in 1962 under John Delorean's management during a period of some incredible stock car successes for Pontiac. The Grand Prix was a sportier version of the Catalina and came equipped with a center console, sportier rear trim and a unique grille.  The feature most people identify with the early Grand Prix is their 8-lug turbo-finned wheels (in which the hub is also the brake drum) as seen in the picture below. While some came with the incredibly potent 421 V8, most left the factory with a 389.  Find this well preserved one-family owned 87,000 mile example for sale in Kingsport, TN via craigslist for $12,500. Thanks to Andy L. for another winner!
