Description:

1951 Pontiac Chieftain Deluxe ConvertibleThis Pontiac was just fully restored with a 12 volt electrical conversion. This 268 CID straight 8 Flat-head starts up instantly and idles so quietly that you can hardly tell it's running. The Hydra-Matic transmission was completely rebuilt and shifts as smoothly as it did in 1951, when it was new. It has 15 inch Coker wide-whitewall tires and classic wire wheels. The original set of nice Pontiac hub caps go with the car.The frame is perfect and rust free. The entire undercarriage, trunk and interior cabin have been sanded and sealed with rust encapsulator, primer and paint. If you garage this car, it will last for ever as a great investment. All the gauges work, however the gas gauge is more of an estimate then an accurate reading. The suspension has been redone with new shocks, king pins, rear coils and new rear shackles. Also new are wind shield, rear door windows, gas tank, water pump, alternator, belt, all bulbs and lights, electric fuel pump, (inline to just prime the tank if needed, not hooked up). I have incorporated a new AM/FM radio that sounds great with speakers under the front seat. The original 6 volt AM tube radio did work and goes with the car, it will bolt right back in place if you want because I did not modify the dash at all, (of course you would have to reduce the voltage for it to work).. The convertible top is in nice condition with a new 12 volt electric motor, new hydraulic lines and new cylinders. I drive this car in 95 degree heat in florida and it stays right at a cool 175 degree. This car needs nothing, just drive to shows and enjoy. I am a retired classic car restorer and had a blast with this Pontiac. I've invested over $30, 000 in the restoration. This car is a sweet driving time capsule. It's now time to sell her and go on to the next project. Please ask all the questions before you bid, I know this car inside and out. The car is in South Florida and can be seen by appointment. The car is a fun dependable driver and is being sold as-is. Thanks for looking. ....
