For Sale: 1948 Pontiac Streamliner in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

Step back in time and embrace the spirit of post-war American automotive innovation with this 1948 Pontiac Streamliner Torpedo Gasser. This car represents more than just transportation; it embodies the golden age of hot-rodding and the thrill of classic racing culture. With a vibrant red high-gloss finish and a build that hints at its racer roots while offering modern comforts, this vehicle is a unique blend of history and performance. It's a statement piece for any collector or enthusiast looking to own a piece of the past that still delivers an exciting driving experience.

Inside, the cabin offers a raw and purposeful feel with aftermarket bucket seats inspired by late-90s GM designs, providing a blend of vintage style and comfort. The interior is stripped down with removed door panels, side panels, headliner, and rear seat, giving it a race-ready ambiance. Functional Summit gauges monitor oil pressure, volts, water temperature, and fuel, complemented by a SunPro tachometer and nitrous gauge on the dashboard. The rough gray painted dash, B&M shifter, and Grant-style steering wheel enhance the driver-focused environment.

Under the hood, this Streamliner is powered by a robust 454 V8 engine featuring dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors on a high-rise intake manifold, paired with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. This setup balances raw power with drivability, making it more forgiving than a pure racer thanks to upgrades like overdrive and air conditioning. The drivetrain is complemented by power disc brakes up front and power drum brakes in the rear, power steering, and a suspension system with lifted front leaf springs and wrapped rear leaf springs with panhard bars for improved handling.
