Other than being listed as a V8 (it'* a V6, isn't it? :? ), does anyone see anything blatantly wrong with the info listed for this Bonne?

I dont see anything wrong with the listing (other than the V8 thing you mentioned). However, there are a lot of things that you should look for before you make a commitment. Fly around BC and you will see the common issues. I would take it to your mechanic and have them check for cracked intake, coolant/oil mixes, and a detailed tranny check.
Others may suggest other things to look for...but that is where I would start.

I would love a V8 Bonneville...
Everything looks ok to me (stats wise) just ask about the upper intake manifold and make sure you check the oil and coolant.

Void his warranty,well, warranties aren't always reliable, and if you're doing your own engine, it'll have a warranty on that, and all the other parts are still covered, atleast under US law.
