High quality body off frame restoration. From the prestigious Art
Astor collection. Star Chief was Pontiac's flagship car full of
unique design features in and out. It has so much more to offer
than a 57 Chevy. This one has the performance tri-power carbs which
even has 7 more hp than the fuel line in the Chevy.
EXTERIOR: The body is excellent. Its straight, no damage or rust.
Body gaps are excellent. Repainted it's original Kenya Ivory and
Cordova red accent. The paint is polished smooth and glossy, no
significant flaws. Substantial amount of chrome front and back is
straight and shiny. The stainless trim is straight and polished. It
has optional dual mirrors, power antenna, door handle gaurds and
fender rockets that light up! Love the tri-power emblems too. The
rims are painted the dark red accent color and have the optional
spinner hubcaps. Each one is wrapped with a reproduction BFG
Silvertown whitewall.
INTERIOR: Beautiful inside- the quality and style. Down on the
floor is real nice carpet and reproduction floor mats. The seats
are rebuilt, they are firm and reupholstered. It has a rare manual
6 way adjustable seat, I've never seen one. The door panels are
restored. The metal trim is painted. The dash area has excellent
trim, gauges, knobs, steering wheel etc. The wonderbar radio was
rebuilt with modern internals, it has FM and is XM satellite
compatible. The original wonderbar radio was rebuilt with modern
internals. Glovebox light works and includes the owner's manual.
Mint cloth headliner with chrome ribs.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Big 347-290 hp tri-power engine. Completely
restored and detailed to stock condition. It has the big air
cleaner, Pontiac valve covers, and reproduction plug wires.
Features include power steering, power brakes, electric wipers,
washers, hood lamp and insulation. All the metal surfaces are
painted smooth.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean metal painted smooth gloss white. Restored
jack assembly is properly mounted. Restored matching rim and
reproduction whitewall spare. Reproduction mat, decal, seat divider
and weatherstrip. My favorite part is the retractable trunk light,
every car should have one.
UNDERSIDE: Under this car is very clean. The metal floors, braces
and rockers are solid metal. The frame and chassis components are
smooth metal. Its all been given a tidy coat of satin black. It has
the optional under seat heater system hooked up. The front end was
rebuilt and recently given an alignment. Shocks were replaced.
Stainless exhaust system with cross over pipe, welded joints and
Magnaflow mufflers. Brakes were restored, hoses replaced, e-brake
assembly is hooked up. Looking up at the motor it is like new. It
has the 4-speed Hydramatic transmission.
With so much more to offer than a 57 Chevy why not pay less and get
the better car? The restoration would cost much more than we are
asking. This is a quality car that will give it's new owner a lot
of joy.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
