78GrandSafari's 1978 Pontiac Bonneville Horten, UN - 1


Well... its a 1978 Pontiac Bonneville Grand safari. One of two left in europe. Anyone know anything about the other?

Pontiac 400 engine from '68.

Car was bought new in USofA by its former owner, and taken to Norway. Here its been used as a taxi, where it crushed a Volvo.. the Bonne made it, the Volvo didnt. But it was close, as the first insurance-guy allmost got the car condemned, as he didnt know zip about american cars. Luckily the owner did, and got a another insurance-guy who knew his stuff and saved the car. Everything from the torpedo wall is restaured and anti-rust treated.

After the Volvo incident its been used as a Police service wagon, and it still has two batteries for extra lights and stuff.

I bought this car for something like $1300, still amazes me why I got it that cheap, but hey, I aint complaining :D

Sure, its in a pretty bad condition, its not been used for about 4 years, and before that it was used as the primary car.

Behind the car on the top pic you see my first car (this is my second), a 1989 Dodge RAM 350 van. Bucket seats, wooden steeringwheel, 360 engine, what more can a 18 year old boy want? Sadly I have to sell this car (Im moving from sweden to norway) due to insane norwegian import taxes, who would charge about $25,000 to give me norwegian license plates. No way I pay that much for a $1000 car.

Updates and pictures to come shortly.
