1957 Pontiac Star Chief 4-Door Pillar-less Hardtop. looks like shipped here from Cuba....Lots of patina with the original good running 347 Cubic Inch 270 HP engine...has glass packs and sounds good and healthy, no smoke noticed. Automatic works in Park, Neutral, First, and Reverse but it won’t upshift so far. Recently i added the Trans-X treatment and tranny seems to be getting better, car sat for 20+ years so may just need a complete flush, filter, and fill. Vehicle is not licensed for street so just putz around the acres with it so far.
Work done to date includes: installed all new weather stripping around doors, windows and trunk lid. Most all fuzzy weatherstrips inside doors replaced. All window regulators, latches, hinges and locks cleaned and lubed. Electrical checked with repairs to lights, switches, and wiring.

I installed a new water pump and hoses and cooling system flushed, and new 50-50 antifreeze installed. Plus Brake job done see info below.
Floors and trunk were surface rusty, cleaned and scrubbed and coated with Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer then installed new Maroon carpet everywhere. Most extra items in theTrunk picture have been installed on vehicle...several original items belonging with this vehicle are included with sale.
Work still needed: Gas tank needs to be flushed and cleaned. Presently running on a small fuel tank in front of radiator. Starts good if it has fuel in carb.
Completed brake job: NEW front and rear brake shoes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder,some return springs. But brakes still somewhat spongy need professional Power Bleed. Parking brake works good. Needs new windshield...Will include a new tinted windshield in box, plus the rubber seal new, IF bidding surpasses $4700. Read that twice so you understand.
