1963 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE CONVERTIBLE
TRUE DEALER PROMO COASTER
AMT 1/25 SCALE
FINISHED IN METALLIC BLUE
DETAILED DESCRIPTION: See below.
RATING: I'd rate this VG+. While it does have issues it's waiting for the rebuilder....Personally I think it's worth salvaging. Or, you could just display it as-is.
ISSUES: 1)Body: I believe this body was repainted at some point. For one thing, the colour is off. Check out the photos compared to the chassis and interior. For another thing, the paint doesn't have gloss. Like it was painted with basecoat but no clear (of course the originals would have been single stage lacquer). Third, the entire underside has been painted. And then there's the telltale sign that the interior has been removed as no "donuts" remain.
2) The car has windshield header and pillar post issues as well. It was separated at the top of the L/H header at the a-pillar. Then the R/H a pillar was cracked/broken just above the body. Interestingly enough the L/H vent post is fine, but the R/H vent post is missing.
FINISH:
GLASS: Light crack upper drivers side corner. about 1/2" long.
CHROME: Front and rear bumpers/grille replated.
WHEELS: Replated as well.
FRICTION: N/A as it's a dealer coaster.
A little about me: I'm not a dealer in car models. I am a collector who has been doing so for over 60 years. I like to try and describe my listings with a critical eye as if I'm buying them for myself. . So check back often to see what I will be listing. I anticipate listing between 10 and 20 cars a week.
