Seller Description

1969 Pontiac Bonneville Ambulance Built by Superior Coach Conversions
South California Originally based at a fire station in (city), Oregon.

This Vehicle was purchased from a family in Berkeley, CA in 1992 and has
been with the same family since then. A complete bottom up restoration
of the Pontiac was done in 1999 to a hotrod standard. All dents and a
few typical rust spots on the floor were repaired before a complete
repaint. The restoration was performed by the legendary hot rod
builder/restorer Pineapple at Pineapples Hot Rod Shop in (city),CA. No
bondo was used, all metal work done to perfection. Pineapple sprayed the
car with high quality paint and signed the project at the end of a
month's work, as he did with all his creations. It may be well hidden
and take a little effort to find, but its there. The engine was
specifically ordered for this car since the Firehouse needed the
horsepower. This Engine was not hot-rodded. The engine is an original
correctly rebuilt 428 cu with 399 horsepower. This was the highest
factory horsepower ever made by the Pontiac factory. It was a standard
option available in their option tables for the various car engine
combinations but had to be ordered. Generally referred to as a big block
it was only available in a few muscle cars that are also collectible
today. It could be ordered with the Bonneville sedan but that was also
rare. The factory horsepower ratings started to decline in the 70s due
to emissions regulations. There is a chart on the internet showing
different engine options at the time (1969). Engine was rebuilt at the
time of restoration with only a few hundred miles driven since.
Transmission was also rebuilt. Same mileage as the rebuild Engine, not
much. Plus the addition of Fishtail pipes. By law, when the Ambulance
was put on sale, the firehouse name had to be removed. The original
hubcaps are saved and included in the sale but the original rims were
lost by Pineapple. Don't know what happened to them but what's on the
car are not the factory rims. Still the current rims are tasteful chrome
and could serve well if the car was taken back to all original
condition. Some surface rust around the hubcaps. White wall tires 2 new
Batteries Swing seat in the front. Those are "factory correct" from
another car of that period but I don't remember which. Original
red/maroon bench seat included as well as extra trim pieces for the cab.
Original color of the Ambulance was maroon red. Cabinets / storage in
the back are still as original. Blue lights in back. Front side lamps
are not original, but have the originals laying in the back. They will
be included. Original steering wheel Original electrical hooks ups and
switches inside in the back above the windows. Electrical buttons in the
Driver Cabin. The original stretcher is missing but that is about all.
