for sale

Price: US $515.00

Description:

This 1958 Pontiac was one of 1950 Laurentians built ... but only a small number had the 348 V8 option ...a fewer yet with a Tri-Power! This is a correct 1958 Tri Power set up rebuilt by Chilly Willy ... it works great!! This car originally was a 4 bbl. The interior is basically stock Chevy Belair seats with matching Pontiac Laurentian door panels. The steering wheel is also Chevy Belair The trans was upgraded to a turbo 350. The engine has been professionally rebuilt (three years ago, but only about 1000 miles) and runs very smooth. Has 108340 miles on the car at this point, but I do drive it a bit on nice weekends. Not much for options ... it has a radio ... dual antenna, and dual exhaust (glass packs). . sorry no P/S or P/B ... have to take it easy until you get used to that!! Also, it has Bias Ply WWW tires. No problem for me, but if you have never driven on Bias Ply tires ... you will want radials.
Head liner was replaced a couple of years ago ... but there are water stains ...
Roof has lace painting, very 70's.
Has H4 headlights with the green LEDs connected to the park lights.
Original 348 engine has been bored .30 over
4bbl carb replaced with a correct 1958 tri-power (three deuces) all nicely rebuilt
Gets more attention than I can handle!!
Good solid car, that is fun to drive!!
You could buy this car, fly here and drive it home! (MPG isn't the best ... I get 8 - 10mpg)
Please note ... I have added a picture of this car from when it was damaged. I used a nice front clip (also added a picture) from a Chevy Belair to get this car back on the road ... because the Pontiac was an original 348 car, that I had known since the 1980's ... I just couldn't let it be parted out. That is why it is called Lucky ... if not for my friend's work, this car would have been scrapped, and the engine would have gone into ... perhaps a Chevy ...

“Defects? well, I would say there may be some scratches ... definitely pitting on the tail light housings, new head liner, but some water stains ... please look at pictures carefully, what looks ok to me, may not to you. Doesn't have the correct air breather.”
