I love this generation of Bonnevilles. A family friend had a 1975 Bonneville sedan, and I was thrilled when I was 14 to get to back it up the driveway. It used the B platform but looked like a C platform. I like this car better than anything GM sells today. I would buy this if I had the mechanical skills to properly care for it.

Nice 70s car. Not an era I like, but I like that dash curved to the driver. If you like big 70s cars, this is a classic example.

[balthazar]

Buick did the curved dash in the boattail Rivs, Pontiac did it earlier in the '69 GP.

I stared too long at that exact same wheel in our '77 Safari.

Not a fan of this era, tho these barges tend to be cheap enough once worn down to be readily mined for their cubes....

Aww... come on. It's sad that these big cruisers have to surrender their hearts and die for no other reason than some punk kid blew up his Trans Am.

Also, sadly countless big cars got trashed by putrid rednecks in demo derby 'racing'...

Yea- but it happens. There's a VERY tiny demo out there for these, and the values reflect that.

A '72 boattail Riviera gave up it's heart for my B-59 (it's rear quarter WAS accordion-ed pretty good, but it could've been repaired for maybe $15K).

Truth is, these were far secondary for manufacturers by this point, and I see it 'in the steel' on these all too readily.

Not even broken in yet!

I questions the miles as the look of the engine bay and the interior floors would imply more miles than the odometer really shows. Remember, it was very easy to take a drilland turn back an odometer.

Cheers as it still is a very clean car for the age.
