This is a dream car for the restoration enthusiast that was aquired through an estate sale! The Chieftain is a complete car that has been approximately 60% restored and is 99% original down to the hemp twine, cloth wire covers and leather engine gaskets. The '52 Delux featured an in-line 8-cylindar engine with the Hydromatic automatic transmission on the column. The car will turn over and run, but must be bottle fed. If you don't know what that means, you don't need this car. This is a quality car in need of quality restoration. To the best of my knowledge, all chrome is present and it even has the highly sought after roof visor!!! This piece alone is a treasure in itself. As seen in the pictures, I have the original owners manuals that came with this car and also the original bill of sale from the dealership in New Jersey where it was sold. Body is straight and exterior is in excellent shape with one dent in rear quarter panel. Paint is a 3 year old single stage enamel product that is in good condition and could be kept if the new owner desires, or repainted depending on which direction you wanted to go with the rebuild. I did not paint it. Interior floor pans need patchwork and all upholstry needs to be redone. The odomoter reads 47,153 which I believe to be accurate based on the car's condition and engine quality. This project has the potential to be an immaculate restoration or a custom led-sled if you so desire. I have done my best to describe this car as it appears. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, and I will gladly provide all information requested. I welcome any independant inspections of the car. Buyer responsible for shipping. Clear title in hand. I will consider all reasonable trades and offers, but cash is king. WINNING BID MUST PAY $500 DOWN, REMAINDER WITHIN 24HRS, AND I CAN PERSONALLY PROCESS CHECKS AND CREDIT CARDS. Obviously funds must clear before vehicle is released. Pay Pal fees suck. RESERVE IS LOW, I NEED TO MOVE THIS CAR. Contact me at (850) 612-4542 to see the car, ask questions, or message me on e-bay for more info/pictures. No warranties, implied or express. keywords: rat rod, custom, classic, pontiac, hydromatic, straight 8, straight eight, antique, all original, mid 50's, mid fifties.
