As America's third best-selling automaker since 1962, GM's Pontiac Motor Division rode atop the high-performance wave under the guidance of engineer and fast-rising industry legend John Z. DeLorean. The Bonneville stood as Pontiac's top full-size model line and combined aggressive styling cues, premium amenities and performance. Fittingly, this 1968 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible was owned by drag racing legend Arnie "the Farmer" Beswick, who dominated Super Stock, Factory Experimental and Funny Car classes with his wild Pontiac racing cars during the 1960s.
 
Quite rare today as 1 of 7,358 examples produced, this 1968 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible of a fabulous offering in its factory-specified Solar Red paint finish, complemented by a Red interior and Parchment convertible top. Remaining in highly original condition, the Bonneville is a two-owner car from new and the odometer reads under 10,900 miles. Power is delivered by the 340-horsepower, 4-barrel 400 CI Bonneville V-8 engine, rebuilt and bored 0.030 over. A column-shifted automatic transmission delivers the power.
 
Passenger amenities include the Red bench seat interior with matching seat belts, a factory pushbutton AM radio, wood grain accents, and power windows. The driver is greeted by a factory 3-spoke steering wheel with tilt column. Power brakes and power steering deliver a relaxed driving experience. Exterior highlights include  hide-away headlights, rear-fender skirts, chrome bumpers and Pontiac's exclusive 8-lug wheels with integral brake drums mounting Whitewall tires.
