1957 Pontiac Star Chief 4-Door Pillar-less Hardtop. looks like shipped here from Cuba....Lots of patina with the original good running 347 Cubic Inch 270 HP engine. Automatic works in Park, Neutral, First, and Reverse but probably needs filter and fluid flush to upshift.

Work done to date included: installing all new weatherstripping around doors, windows and trunk lid. All window regulators, latches, hinges and locks cleaned and lubed. Electrical checked with repairs to lights, switches, and wiring. Carburetor disassemble, cleaned and kit installed. Fuel pump disassembled, cleaned and re-assembled.

Floors and trunk were just surface rusty, cleaned and scrubbed and coated with Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer then installed new Maroon carpet everywhere.

Work still needed: Gas tank needs to be flushed and cleaned. Needs complete brake job but parts are included name brand, new in box: front and rear brake shoes, return springs, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, wheel seals. Needs new windshield (Quote $175 for a new tinted one)...included is a new front windshield seal and a rear window rubber seal....Also I installed a new water pump, cooling system flushed, and new 50-50 antifreeze installed.
