1953 Pontiac Chieftain Deluxe 2 door post - 350 SBC V8 and 3-speed automatic trans.- Restomodded 30 years ago using 1969 Chevy Chevelle drivetrain, radiator, etc.- Upgraded to 12v wiring 30 years ago- 'Dual Streak' styling really stands out compared with the plain Fords and Chevys of this era.- Chrome bumpers in fantastic shape- All stainless steel trim is fantastic- Original amber illuminated Indian hood ornament- Steel wheels with chrome 'baby moon' hubcaps- 30 year old respray in original green. Single stage enamel. The perfect patina - just add wax!- Fully redone interior upholstery in great shape - one tear on the drivers seat.I've owned this car for a year, but have only driven it a few times as we've been concentrating on rebuilding a vintage Airstream trailer. We were planning to use this Chieftain as the tow vehicle, but have changed our minds.Work done in 2016-2017- radiator repaired- brake booster rebuilt- master cylinder new- new stainless exhaust pipes and muffler (replaced loud side pipes)- new starter motor- new Diamondback wide whitewalls- new bushings, spacers- all new engine mounts- rebuilt carburetor (November 2017)- brand new front disc brakes- brand new rear air shocksThe bad:- gas gauge may not work- don't know if odometer works- speedometer works but as with many old cars, bounces a bit when driving- brake lights / interior dome light occasionally cut outCLEAN TITLE
