1964 Pontiac Star Chief 4-Door Sedan 389 V8 Survivor

1964 Pontiac Bonneville

** PLEASE NOTE!!! THIS IS A STAR CHIEF, NOT A BONNEVILLE! **
** eBay did not have Star Chief listed as a model **
Star Chief is based on the Bonneville body/frame with the longer trunk rather than the shorter trunk of the Catalina.

Second owner of this great car.
Shows 52,401 miles on odometer at the time of this posting.
Car is not currently registered to be driven.
I bought it in 1994 with 47,529 miles on it, and it had not been registered since 1981.
Original paint was smooth and shiny on the sides, but age-cracked finished on the topside of the car. Repainted in 1999 with epoxy primer and base-coat/clear coat urethane.
Engine is originally a 2 bbl, but I put a factory 4 bbl AFB and manifold on it.
The original 2 bbl manifold, Rochester carburetor and air cleaner come with the car.
Along with that, I replaced the timing set and camshaft, using a factory 421 grind cam.
Cylinder heads were refreshed at that time.
Driveable car!
New brakes, master cylinder, hoses and wheel cylinders all around.
Fresh transmission fluid, after replacing the o-ring on the 2-piece torque-converter, also known as the torus.
Transmission is a Dual Range Hydramatic which gives it 4 speeds forward.
Tires have cracking along the edge of tread, so I would not take them for any drive longer than a few miles at a time lest they get hot and have the tread separate.
Rims are from an '85 Buick LeSabre.
Frame is North Carolina SOLID.
Interior -
Seats are still in good condition with one flaw along the driver front corner where it got worn from getting in and out.
Carpet would need to be replaced because it is stiff and aged.
Full-width factory brand rubber floor mats.
Dashboard pad has NO cracks!
Steering wheel has typical cracks.
AM radio with an under-dash FM converter circa 1970's.
Headliner came apart at second to last seam, but was perfect until this summer...I think the heat got to it.
Windshield cracked along the top.
Trunk is SOLID with a little surface rust.
Original trunk floor mat and side cardboard trims.
Aside from the paint, carburetor, wheels and tires this is the original car.
I will be including a factory dashboard from an air-conditioned Catalina if you want to add air conditioning to this car that is 'factory".
I have all the duct-work, compressor, and evaporator that came off the Catalina as well.
Gas tank was flushed and cleaned before I started the car the first time.

I really wanted to finish this car, but due to limited funds, I wish to get it in someone else's hands to perhaps complete making this a more perfect survivor.
I had the pleasure of driving it to work once a week, taking it to cruise-ins and even to the Spring Charlotte Auto Fair, where it received a third place award in 2002 from the Hornets Nest Region Pontiac-Oakland AACA.
