A COLORADO / SOUTH DAKOTA WESTERN HIGH PLAINS CAR THAT HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY CARED FOR SINCE DAY ONE!
THE CAR STILLS MAINTAINS ITS ORIGINAL DRIVE-TRAIN, COMPLETELY REBUILT TO FACTORY SPECS!
A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF THIS CAR IS AS FOLLOWS: THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW BY THE SAMUELSON FAMILY FROM LAKEWOOD, COLORADO ON JULY 9TH OF 1966. THEY TRADED IN THEIR 1965 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK FOR HER (WE HAVE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK ON THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED ALONG WITH THE BILL OF SALE). THESE FOLKS DROVE THE CAR THROUGH THE DRY HIGH PLAINS SPARINGLY AND ALWAYS KEPT HER METICULOUSLY CARED FOR, GARAGED, AND EXTREMELY PAMPERED ALL WHILE MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINALITY AND FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE. MR SAMUELSON WAS A TRUE PONTIAC PURIST AND DID HIS BEST TO MAINTAIN THE FACTORY CORRECTNESSS OF THE CAR. IN THE LATE 9O'S THEY DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO REPAINT THE CAR DUE TO ITS FADING AND AGE AND IT WAS PAINTED IN THE ORIGINAL RED COLOR. SOMETIME AROUND 2012 THEIR SON INHERITED THE CAR AND BROUGHT IT TO HIS HOME IN SOUTH DAKOTA. HE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION REBUILT IN IT AT ROUGHLY 98,000 MILES. HE HAD THE ENGINE AND TRANS REBUILT TO STOCK SPECS AND WAS VERY METICULOUS IN MAINTAING THE ORIGINALITY OF THE CAR SO HE EVEN HAD THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR AND STARTER REBUILT AS WELL. THE ONLY CHANGE TO THE CAR WAS AN EDELBROCK CARB. ALL OTHER COMPONENTS ARE FACTORY ORIGINAL. AS YOU TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE ENGINE BAY IN THE PICTURES YOU WILL NOTICE EVEN THE INNER WHEEL WELL PAINT AND FIREWALL PAINT IS ORIGINAL!!!! AROUND 2013 HE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO PART WITH HER SO HE DECIDED TO SELL THE CAR TO A GENTLEMAN IN OHIO WHO PURCHASED THE CAR AND ENJOYED IT OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS. IN 2016 HE DECIDED TO REPLACE THE SEAT UPHOLSTERY, CARPET, AND THE ORIGINAL CONVERTIBLE TOP DUE TO ITS AGE. JUST RECENTLY HE DECIDED TO SELL TO MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER TOY - THAT IS WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR.

Check out our unsolicited feedback from satisfied buyers. The feedback speaks for itself!
Please remember our cars are classics and most of our inventory is over 40 years old. They're built to drive and do develop drips from long periods of sitting due to expanding and contracting seals and gaskets. It's seldom that we come across a classic that's completely drip free. We do our best to describe our inventory in full detail, to include pictures and video; however, due to the age of these cars, we're unable to offer a warranty. While we only deal in vehicles that are in quality condition, we always prefer the buyer take the time to check the vehicle out in person or arrange for a third party vehicle inspection. We strive to make our customers happy and pride ourselves on positive feedback.
If you would like to fly in and check this beauty out, we would be happy to pick you up from the Cleveland-Hopkins Airport. This car can be put up on our lift and you'll be able to do a thorough inspection as well as enjoy a test drive.
