CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER
1955 Pontiac Chieftain 2 door. this car is s 37k mile survivor. As far as I can tell the only items not original are maintenance items such as belts, hoses, tires...etc. From the paperwork I have it looks like this car was repainted the original colors sometime back in the 1980's. The paint needs help as seen in the photos. The car starts, runs, drives and stops, I drove it to a local car show as it is and got many many compliments. Headlights, tail lights, dash lights all work as do the windshield wipers, horn and the original radio. Has what is believed to be the original spare tire in the trunk. Seat covers installed by previous owner over the original interior. I don't have any idea as to the condition of the seat cloth underneath but previous owner stated that it was in good condition with the backseat in very good condition.This car has the original 287 V8 and has the original oil bath air cleaner. The engine does have a couple of oil leaks as expected for a 65 year old car that isn't driven much. It left a spot of oil about the size if a coffee can after sitting in my driveway for 2 weeks.I had been looking for a 1950's GM 2 door to build a gasser hot rod out of and bought this from the 2nd owner who had it for 38 years. After having it for a couple of months I couldn't bring myself to destroy the originality of this car by cutting it up to make a gasser, so I've decided to part with it and locate a more suitable car in not such nice original condition.I had a local shop put this car up on the lift to give me a report of the condition and they report that this has 90% of its original undercoating and no rust was able to be located. Not surprising after spending the last 38 years in Arizona, but this car was definitely taken care of for a very long time.In my opinion this car either needs to be restored or just driven just like it is. I have lots of paperwork for the car dating back to 1958. Message if you have questions or want more information.
