Paste link into a browser window: [isdntekvideo] 1953 Pontiac Chieftain two door sedan in the original Spruce Green Iridescent and Linden Green top. Car was purchased from an estate more than 10 years ago and gradually the owner has been repairing and replacing parts to restore the ‘Tin Indian’ to its original condition. NO TRADES CASH ONLY Currently runs the original 268 c.i. / 118 h.p. in-line flathead 8-cylinder engine backed by the original and optional Hydro-matic (automatic) transmission. There have been several new parts added and the car starts and runs well (see list below). It is apparent the rings need to be replaced because of the evidence of blue smoke at acceleration. The Pontiac was repainted in the original colors (unknown when) and is in good condition. There are some scratches and stone chips but overall, it looks great. There is some slight bubbling at the bottom of the windshield, but no other area shows any rust. The floors, trunk, fenders, and quarter panels appear sold. The passenger door looks to have a little work done just above the stainless trim. The upholstery and carpeting are believed to be original. There is even a ‘cigarette burn’ on the front seat. The factory gauges function including the speedometer, odometer, temperature gauge, battery, and oil pressure. The clock does run but does not keep accurate time and the radio did work when the car was purchased, but now just hums. Exterior chrome, stainless, and glass appear to be original and the Indian hood ornament does light up when the lights are on. Listed below is all the work which has been performed up until recently. Selling because there are too many toys and projects. PARTS REPLACED: Steering box Radiator Water Pump Hood latch Front & rear shocks & springsNew American Classic 15" radial tires Weather stripping around the hood (also included is the weather stripping kit for the windows and doors) Head gasket Electric- some of the wiring was replaced where needed Voltage regulator REBUILT ITEMS: Transmission Generator Starter Carburetor Hood Ornament light fixture Distributor Horn components in steering column ATTENTION DEALERS!!!
