enough to be a pain, but I absolutely love the car!! So, I am hoping you guys can help me with any knowledge about what parts will work on the '64 Bonneville. If I can figure out how to upload pictures I will soon. Thanks in advance!!

Hi Keith 

very cool 64 

Tell us what you need to know ? 

And send us pics of the interior bro. Oh yeah, welcome!

Doesn't look like you need much other than trim on the outside.  Interior shots, engine pic's.  What do you need?  Welcome to the site. 

Love your convertible. I'm sure any questions you may have about your car, and parts that fit, can be answered by members on this site. Just ask away....we're here to help and eager to answer any questions you have. Welcome to our little Pontiac world.

Ps. More Pics would be nice and specifics (engine size, transmission, etc.)

Yeah, in case you can't tell we love Pontiac pics around here and truth be told I'm tired of blowing up these pics and trying to look in your windows. 

Definitely get the "Ames Performance Engineering" parts catalog.   The Classic Industries and Original Parts Group catalogs will also be helpful. Someday, you might need the Factory Assembly Manual and the Service Manual for your year of car.

Yes, pictures please.

Rick

 

 

Sorry for the delay, it turned into a late day lol

I am honestly surprised to have this many comments, it's awesome!  As far as the info on the car, 389 2 barrel carb. still all stock. Not sure on the trans, it's automatic but not really familiar with Pontiac parts. Hopefully I can learn from you guys.  Thank you guys for the welcome! Wrongway, I hope these interior pics are okay,lol, I can get better ones when the top is down!

Oh yeah, my biggest question right now is what other car shares the same frame as the '64 bonneville convertible? And if any one has any knowledge about what bucket seats would work, that's something I have thought about as well. 

Ohhh yeahhhh, those work bro! She looks good! So how does she run? What are you looking to do with her?

Hey Kiwi, did you see the condition of his steering wheel? I can't see any cracks in the acrylic! Looks great for its age!

Kind of odd that the car has power steering but manual brakes. I noticed the steering wheel as well....great shape. I'm no expert on bucket seats, but would imagine any GM from '63 to about '67 should work, just remember you will need to get the bucket seat brackets welded to the inboard side of the seats in order to mount.

Only the 63 bonniville shares the same frame Keith 

you can swap any seat out of a 63 or 64 hard top , they will bolt in 

why do you ask about the frame ?

very impressed with the condition of your steering wheel Keith !!! these things crack crazy !!! yours looks mint as !!! like Wongway said !!! a very rare thing for our old girls!!!

your front seat looks to have beeen recovered, it doesnt have the little badges in the tucks 

Have you seen the engine build details on the front of the block justA left of the water pump below the head , that will tell you heaps if you want to share the details

Thanks for the info on the seats. The Bonneville stuff is hard to come by though, may have to go with whatever GM seats I can find. The frame is for two reasons. 1- This frame isn't awful but it has some spots that aren't the greatest, and, 2- I absolutely love driving this boat. So I was going to do as much to a donor frame and suspension as I could before swapping them out.

OMG OMG OMG...Did you see the steering wheel? What a stunning item.
