1960 Bonneville Tri-power
 
I'm an automotive photographer working on a 320-page muscle car coffee table book. It's going to cover 50 years of muscle cars, and the 1960 Bonneville Tri-Power is crutial to the evolution of the muscle car. I'm looking for a stock appearing 1960 Bonneville Tri-Power to photograph. I live in Pasadena, CA, but I travel to the right cars. Thank you for your help!

Dave not very many people on this forum have old Bonnies...

I'd suggest you thumb through "Classics (Star Chief and 1957 to 1986)" forum, and look for anyone posting about a 60. Than PM or email that person.

Like lifer said, the older Bonny crowd doesn't frequent a whole heck of a lot.

You can also check www.americaniron.net

I frequent that site, and there are some old-school Bonnevilles there.

Sorry I'm late to the show.

Check out their Photo Album.
Although this is from a 1965 Bonneville, it's a nice pic of the tri-power setup.

I have an original 389 Tri-Power that is out of a 1960 Bonneville but the thing is it is now in a 1960 Ventura. I haven't restored it to its capable beauty yet but it is going to be all original before long.
