Sure doesn't look like 'power windows' to me. Only the tailgate window is electric - and that was standard.
Many people do not realize that power windows and AC were rare back years ago. We sure never had AC till late 70's.
We had factory AC on our 63 F85 wagon when I was a kid. Think Olds had the AC switch and the "HOT" light wired in together to come on at the same time,lol.
If this had a third row than I'd be bidding right now. On another note, it's interesting that the period advertisements don't have fender skirts while the eBay pics have what appears are factory skirts. Anyone know if skirts were optional or aftermarket?
OldRide.com says factory optional on skirts. http://www.oldride.com/library/1965_pontiac_bonneville.html
I love the 60's Bonney! I think they should have left the engine stock, though. I can almost guarantee that the tri-power set up isn't running right since they never did!
