Pontiac Bonneville 3.8L V6 1981
General description :
For sale in our Chicago showroom is this survivor 1981 Pontiac Bonneville. Powering this luxury 4-door is a 3.8l V6 with an automatic transmission. The '81 was the end of a generation for Bonneville, being the last year of its body style, as well as an end of an era for Pontiac, as all V8 engines would be discontinued, making way for Chevrolet V8s. This example houses the Buick 3.8l as a way of keeping fuel use within acceptable range for the EPA. The power of the V6 is more than acceptable to get this personal luxury sedan up to speed with ease. You will find looks aplenty anytime you take this Mint Green classic out. Many of the late 70s and early 80s GM vehicles had issues with corrosion, and because of that, there are not as many around. This 2-owner example shows no signs of rot and is extremely solid! With a newer set of radial tires, this Bonnie is more than ready to explore the open road. This Bonneville is a full-sized adventure waiting to be had with its next owner. Will it be you? Options include: AM/FM Radio, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Windows, Power Seats, Cloth Interior, Seat Belts, and White Wall Radial Tires.
