1951 Pontiac Catalina Chieftan

Fully restored museum quality 1951 Pontiac Catalina Chieftan, 2 door Super De Luxe Coupe with inline 8 cylinder motor, 3 speed manual transmission, and only 650 miles on rebuilt motor.
Restoration work to include reupholstery, new paint, triple dipped re-chroming, full rewiring, frame undercoating, rebuilt motor and much more. Receipts available for all work. Since restoration this car has always been in a climate controlled garage, insured by Hagerty, and it has won 1st prize in several car shows.
This car lived in Idaho it's entire life until I helped find it for my grandma in 2012, as it is identical to the first car she had as a teenager. At that time it was shipped to CT and has only been driven a couple hundred miles, and never driven in the winter (zero rust). Having been recently appraised by a vintage car specialist, it would cost about 60K in parts/labor to restore one of these vehicles to its present condition.
I would prefer someone sees/drives the car before they buy this vehicle, but as this might be difficult due to travel restrictions and distance, feel free to contact me and I will get back to you in a timely manner to discuss viewing/purchase/shipping arrangements.
