Vehicle Detail
1941 Pontiac Silver Streak Coupe with the very desirable Torpedo Streamliner fastback body. A good restoration candidate, this automobile is equipped with the correct flathead 6 cylinder engine, 3 speed column shift and under seat heater. Odometer says 37,000 but who knows? The engine purrs like a kitten with no smoke or funny noises and it shifts though the gears smoothly. Built like a tank, this unique prewar beauty sits nice. The brakes should be serviced as the pedal goes to the floor and the tires are dry rotted. I'll try adding brake fluid. Bring a trailer. The frame rails are solid and the rear springs are still wrapped in the original rubber! The seats were recovered years ago and I’m sure the original upholstery is underneath. The side bolsters are intact and still carry the Fisher Body logo. All the curved glass is there but shows some delamination and the front floors/ truck are lacework. Someone did a bondo job on the body a long time ago and all the rust has come back though. The trunk and back seat contain boxes of most if not all of the trim pieces, the top to the air cleaner and the old carpet for patterns. There are a couple of ways to go here. A complete restoration would be nice but with new tires, a brake system rebuild, the accelerator pedal repaired, and a complete check of all systems, this automobile would cruise down the road as a Drivable Dream for not much money. Weighing the rarity against the overall condition, I’ve set a pretty fair reserve and it must be sold. I’m listing for a friend. Please contact me for questions or if you would like see it in person after 5pm weekdays. I can send more photos if you provide your email address. Pick up only. It cannot be delivered. A 10% deposit will be due within 2 days of the auction closing date. CASH IN PERSON ONLY. I HAVE THE CLEAR NJ TITLE IN HAND AND IT WILL BE SIGNED IT OVER. NO TRADES. IMMEDIATE PICKUP WEEKDAYS AFTER 5PM IS REQUIRED. Please don't bid if you: 1. Don't plan to win & don’t have the funds to back your bid up. 2. Have no history or any negative feedback. 3. Don’t understand that the reserve will not be revealed. I will cancel your bid if you chose not to follow these simple rules. This Pontiac is offered to prospective buyers in the Continental United States only! I will not sell to Canada or Mexico as the financial arrangements and paperwork are a nightmare. This Pontiac is sold "As Is -Where Is" without any warranty. Here is my promise - if you are the winner of the auction and you come here in person and feel the Pontiac was misrepresented, you do not have to buy it and I will refund any deposit you paid. That should give anyone a good degree of comfort. If you buy it sight unseen and have it shipped, I cannot offer this option. If you buy it sight unseen, it is yours. I believe this is a more reasonable approach than most Ebay sellers will offer. Please take a look at my 380 positive feedbacks with not one real negative in 12 years of using Ebay. Enough about me, now let's talk about you. If you do not have more than 10 feedbacks AND at least a 98% positive feedback rating, you must call me before bidding or I reserve the right to cancel your bid. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time Thanks for looking On Aug-16-12 at 07:07:34 PDT, seller added the following information: Quick update. I tried to add brake fluid but the master cylinder is located in a tight spot and the cap is frozen. I just don't have the time to sort it now. Tom
