Default Guess the milage

This is a 1968 Bonneville coupe. It has a numbers matching freshly rebuilt 400. There is one dent and two small surface rust spots on it. It needs some interior work.

Ya, the body metal was alot thicker gauge in those days. And undercoating the body/frame when clean and new does amazing things. I had a 64 Pontiac thats was amazingly fresh for 150k miles. But a 12 pack, a winding dirt road, and a wild hair up my azz put that one into the memory book.

Theres a blue one outside of town, looks like that one. I called and they said its 89% completely restored, yet it sits out in the elements instead of in the carport 20ft away (guess you cant see it in the carport, but 2 yrs of weather wear is starting to show now on the paint)

they want 18,000 for it lol ... i laughed
