Well, delivery late. I will go to post office tomorrow for a full refund since it is money back guarantee. It says it left Japan today. -

Wow. That cool vintage box could be worth money. Congratulations on your fresh switch! -
Going through it now. Put about 20 miles on her and running good. All stock. Power seats, power windows, ac that is not hooked up with belt. Duel exhaust. Stock car jack. Trunk light, glove box, rear ash trays, map light, and other things I need for my other Bonnie. Actually much nicer paint and chrome than the other. Really nice, already getting heads turned with it. It will be super nice to have a second car for problem solving and installation of missing stuff.

Very exciting Bonneville weekend. We entered two car shows and won two trophies! There were amazing cars much nicer than ours but people seem to love the Bonneville! I invited anyone who wanted to jump in the car for a picture. Again, you would think I threw them a $100 bill. Dozens of people where absolutely thrilled to get a photo in the “Beach Bonnie” My son is beyond thrilled to put the trophies on his dresser.

That looks correct. I would suggest https://www.fatsco.net/online-store. This is where my transmission guy bought parts. They know everything there. -

It is only like that on this one. It has more upgrades like power windows, ac, duel exhaust. I’m having it shipped so not sure of everything yet. -

If it helps, Transmission removale is pretty simple. Franks transmission just did my original trans rebuild. Their number is 517 278-7882. His name is john. The rebuild was 2,300 .00. My first one was 4K. If you recall, I bought a 2nd one from a salvage yard and had it rebuilt. Maybe you could do the same. Once I Received it I sent the original out which just came back yesterday. My first one works good but make some funny sounds which may be a bad sign. I bought the shop manual to try and see If I need to send it back. It seems experts say the trans is pretty good but hard to get parts and to rebuild. I plan on driving this for a while but if it has any nagging dependability issues I will consider a newer high performance motor trans combo. This may sound crazy but My son and I drive the car all the time and want to keep doing it. We hate to go without it which is why I bought a second trans and motor. In fact…….. wait for it…. I just picked up another 64 Bonneville convertable! It will take a week to get here from the cross country trek. See pics of the newest Bonnie! -
Thank you so much Chris. That is the same ashtray as mine so that’s the track I need. With your picture i was able to match one on eBay for sale. I ordered it so I should be good. It doesn’t have the plastic washers so I will get some. Without your picture I wouldn’t know what I’m in need of. Now I should be good! Your the man. I will keep an eye out for front light trim you need
