General: The Pontiac Custom S was a single model year car that was marketed between the Pontiac LeMans and the Pontiac Tempest. Originally planned for 1969 was a lower-priced junior muscle car to be based on the Custom S series, and a competitor to the inexpensive and fast-selling Plymouth Road Runner, which started the econo-musclecar trend in 1968 due to a starting price of under $3,000 For reasons unknown, this one-year only nameplate replaced the previous model years Tempest Custom name in the Pontiac line-up. The Custom S was only available for the 1969 model year. Body: The body of this car relatively rust free, with exception to surface rust where the head liner was installed, and a couple of tiny holes in the trunk pan. At some point the rear sail panels have been cut out in a section and patch panels were welded in. I assume there was some rust damage in this area due to a vinyl top. Other than this the body has never been wrecked and all the panels are really straight for a 45 year old car. Media blast the body and do some minor body work and you could have a great looking body. Additionally, most of the stainless trim is off of the car and stored in the trunk. Interior: The interior needs to be replaced. The floor pans are completely rust free and still have the original coating on them. Drive line: The base 350 Pontiac engine in this car runs great! It has new Summit Racing billet distributor and an aluminum intake manifold with a new Edelbrock carb. This engine is complete and does not smoke or burn oil at all, in fact it still produces water droplets from the tail pipes. The transmission is beginning to slip, but still functions and the car is drivable. When I bought the car I drove it home about 200 miles with no issues, it still cruises great down the highway. It has a new 2.5" Flowmaster exhaust. Suspension/brakes: The car has new shocks and the tires are pretty new as well. I replaced the master cylinder, and the car stops as good as manual drum brakes can. Other: All in all this is a good base for a frame on/off resto. The really runs great for such an old car, plus Custom S are really rare. Do some research on the car for yourself so that you know what you are bidding on. I have listed the condition of the car as accurately as possible, but if you still have questions please contact me and I will try to answer.
