  • This 1966 Pontiac Bonneville lived in West Virginia, Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska for the course of its life. I attempt to get it running for the first time in twenty years. Throughout the video I emphasize some points that will help you get your classic car running again. The wagon is well optioned with a tilt column, 8 lug wheels, and lots of power features. This will be a great donor for some of our project vehicles!

    I love those mid 60s pontiacs. We had a 64 and 68 Bonneville. Seeing those dash boards bring back lots of memories.

    Just came over after the junkyard video with Mortske. Anyone who can put up with him for half an hour deserves lots of respect... and subscribers. Always loved the mid to late sixties Pontiac "wide track" schtick. Looking forward to seeing the Grand Prix and convertible work. Good Luck!

    Boy that brings back memories. My first car was a 66 Catalina Wagon that I bought in 72. It had a 389 and was loaded except for power seats. Of all the cars I've owned in the last 50+ years, that's still one of my favorites.

    Pretty nice car sounds real good they kept the original intake and distributor. It’s got the iron distributor instead of the lighter aluminum one pretty cool

    Ooh an H-Body! My first car in 95 was an 80 Spyder. It was a $750 beater with the Buick 231/TH350. Used it thru high school and pulled the engine to "refresh" it...by replacing the concave lifters 😂 Wish 16 y/o me knew better. It was a dog.

    My older brother had an old sweet white on white boat of a Bonneville two door. 13 years old and took it for a ride. My brother wasn't upset about it but the boys in blue were.😅

    How come you want to make it a donor car is it because the glass is hard to get for the back end cuz I hate to see old cars get destroyed or taken apart

    I had thought that the red ground black pos. was an old anti theft thing. Try to steal it and you burn it down and nobody gets the vehicle.😮😅
