Without a doubt, this is one of the most outstanding mild custom street builds we have ever seen !! Based on a rare Pontiac Streamliner Fastback. This great car has been converted into a well prepared, easily driven, comfortable street rod. Starting with a fully boxed, original frame, the owner/builder used a Malibu sub-frame on the front and elected to use the stock '48 rear (with 3:64 gears). While beefy and almost bulletproof, the owner decided to build a 3rd torque arm to fully strengthen the rear end. A driveshaft loop was also added at this time. Powered by a 300 horse Chevy engine with an Edelbrock performer manifold, a 600 Holley carb and an HEI ignition. A built turbo 350 trans shifts the car. A corvette master cylinder w/ proportioning valve assists the disc front, drum rear brakes and of course there is power steering and power brakes. A beautifully done interior makes a comfortable ride and when needed for additional storage, the back seat also slides forward. Both front and rear seats are from Teas. Door panels, carpet and headliner are in perfect condition. A billet Specialties steering wheel, Dakota digital gauges (which all work!) an AM/FM/CD and Vintage heat and air complete the interior. The exterior of this great street rod readily shows the talents of the owner/builder. Doors are rounded as they meet the roofline. Door handles are shaved and controlled by remote, fender are molded to the body and rocker panels and rear quarter panels have been totally rebuilt with new framework and metal. The windshield and rear window have been molded to the body and there has never been any water leaks. Other items included are the Tanks 18 gallon fuel tank and both spare, battery and storage area are in the fully upholstered trunk. 15" wheels with original hubcaps, 39 Ford taillights, a hidden trailer hitch under a rolled rear pan, variable speed wipers with delay and electronically controlled remote mirrors. Caping off this great build is many coats of Spectrum Astra Blue paint. This is an absolutely outstanding street rod that is a true "get in and drive" vehicle. It needs absolutely nothing. You'll have a tough time finding a better built great driving custom street rod!! This vehicle is listed on a few other sites and we reserve the right to remove this ad from the auction at any time. If you would like to discuss any aspects of this rare rod, you can call me at 585-314-8000. Thanks, Brian Page
