Tri-power, dyno tuned at 351 hp! Very cool design features!

One of my favorite cars, so many cool features inside and out! From the simulated rockets on each side to tinsel in the carpet and stars when you look up at the headliner. Even the emblem designating there's a tri-power under the hood is cool looking. This Bonneville happens to be in fantastic condition!

EXTERIOR: One year only body, I think it's one of the best from the 50s. It is straight and gits right. No rust or damage. Older paint job shows very well, there are some touch ups. Original two-tone colors are smooth and glossy. All the chrome and trim, and there's plenty of it, is in great shape. Front and rear windows and gaskets were replaced. The wheels were blasted and painted turquoise on both sides. They are wrapped in radial whitewalls. Accessories include a Continental Kit, fender skirts, dual mirrors, power antenna, deluxe hubcaps, rocker moldings and more.

INTERIOR: I love the interior, they had the mindset that too much was not enough. I'm looking at the dash filled with chrome. Down on the floor it has silver sparkles woven through the carpet, even the brake and gas pedals are fancy. The door panels are so cool I would hang one in my office like artwork. The seats were reupholstered, there is a lift up armrest in the back. The headliner with embossed with stars was replaced. The Wonder Bar radio was rebuilt, there is a modern stereo hooked up. Seat belts were added. Overall unabused very good condition.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Completely rebuilt, bored, and balanced by Performance Concepts; we have receipts. Originally a 370 making 300 hp, now it's bored and stroked to a 449 and dyno tuned at 351 hp with 465 lbs of torque. New crank, bearings, pistons, rings, cam, lifters, rockers, valves, springs, and a roller timing set. Heads were reground and intake was milled. It features power steering and brakes, electric wipers. Everything looks clean, orderly, and proper. The metal surfaces are painted nicely.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb are painted nicely. It has the cool trunk light that reaches to the front of the car. It is rock solid inside, has correct plaid mat. Painted rim with a new tire for a spare, it has the jack assembly too.

UNDERSIDE: It has new springs and shocks at all 4 corners. Also upgraded with rear air bags with and an on-board electric pump. Swaybar end links were replaced. The dual exhaust has Cherry Bomb mufflers. Looking up at the motor it looks fresh, starter is fresh. The original Hydramatic trans was completely rebuilt. It has its original 1958 tag riveted to it. The rear end had its axle bearings and pinion replaced in 2016. The floors, rockers and frame look rock solid.

So many cool features and designs! Every part has a cool design element, I can't pick my favorite! Each time I look at the car I see something else I like!

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
