67 Bonneville convertible

[67LeMansC]

Hello everyone! I'm in the works of purchasing a 67 Bonneville convertible with the 400 this Sunday. I was hoping you all can tell me a little bit about this car? I've been doing some digging and seems like a great car(boat), but I'd like to get some insight. Attached are a few pictures! The guy has a 400 in it from another year, but has the numbers matching 400 with the 4 barrel and YF block, that's gna come with it. See attached photos! Would you say 10,750 is a fair price?  Thanks all!

I personally cant say if that's a fair price or not, but man she sure is pretty!

For 2g more than a GTO I know of......It'sa great deal!!!!!    For what you can see, looks pretty good.  Wondering about the rust situation on the floor pans, rockers, trunk.  The underhood rust probs are easy fix.  I'd buy it.

If there is no rust - it's a smoking great deal. I even checked NADA Classic Car prices. Yeah, for that price, grab it.

Thanks all! Car is pretty solid overall. There are 2 small spots that will need some attention, but overall car is in great shape. I just need to get a new top, but all mechanics of it are as smooth as butter!

What do you think is more valuable? A Bonneville or a LeMans? 67 for both models 

[Frosty]

Depends. Are they both convertibles? Are they in equially as a good a shape?

The Bonneville was the top of the line for Pontiac back in the day. So my first reaction would be the Bonneville - all things being equal.

The Lemans appeal is that - at worst - is is a desirable parts car for someone building/restoring a GTO or cloning one. The Lemans was the luxury mid-size from Pontiac. In theory, it should be worth less than the Bonneville - again all things being equal. However, the fact that it is an A-body car makes it a tad more desirable for the sum of it's parts to a restorer. Also, '67 was the last year for the '66-67 body style for the Tempest/Lemans/GTO. Many people like that body stype over the 68-72 Coke bottle shape that followed it.
