Quite the looker in burgundy with leather and power sunroof. https://chillicothe.craigslist.org/cto/d/1980-pontiac-bonneville/6225887470.html
About the only option's its missing are a gauge package & sport steering wheel, it even has cornering lights and a passenger side remote mirror. Nice looking car and reasonably priced. I just wish they would have put that front clip on the 77-79 Model years. I prefer the roof lines of the earlier cars and the larger engine options.
What he said above, I prefer the roofline of the 77-79 models, but really liked the updated front styling of the 80+ models. smooth. Also the 301 and 307 V8s (and 3.8 V6 and Diesel 350) that the 80+ cars got were no match for the Olds 403 and Pontiac 400 that were offered in the late 70's models. Not even close. I am a sucker for the Snowflake wheels on this one, and the red leather is gorgeous. Always liked the Pontiac dash on these, especially with the full gauges. It's funny, the Buick, Olds, and Chevy dashboards ran from 77-90 (wagons+Caprice) but this Pontiac dash was gone after 81 or 82, replaced with the Parisienne's Chevy-based dash, making the Pontiac one lesser-seen than most.
I think for an 80's "Pontiac", I'd prefer an 85-86 Parisienne Brougham, which was a funky parts-bin mixture of B-body parts. It had the Pontiac rear body styling, grafted onto a Chevy front. Oldsmobile door panels with pillowed seats similar to the ones in the car here, and was basically a Frankenstein of parts. Plus most Parisienne's had the Chevy 305 V8, which was a decent, reliable motor (the Olds 307 was put in models in California and Colorado, and Canada from what I've been told).
The door panel pull-handles on the coupe above are the same ones GM added to the Oldsmobile Delta 88 door panels used on the 85-86 Parisienne. I just caught that when looking at the pic above. Funny Stuff!
I have never seen a 77-81 Pontiac B-body that had gauges and did not have a trip odometer, I based my statement on the fact that it doesn't have the trip Odometer. Here is the pic from the ad of the Speedo.
