1957 Pontiac Starchief Safari wagon star chief

Pontiac Other 1957 Description

1957 Pontiac Starchief Safari wagon four door! Finished in Grabber Blue and white 2 tone paint. It has a rebuilt Chevy 350 cubic inch V8 and a Turbo 350 automatic transmission to move it along. Under the hood you'll find an Edlebrock carburetor. chrome valve covers. chrome air cleaner. chrome alternator. MSD 6-A ignition! This wagon is a great alternative to the famous Chevy Nomad. but is much rarer. Fewer than 2. 00 four-door models were sold. Inside it has newer black door panels and black carpet. The seats and headboard is made from older denham fabric. All the lights and the wipers work. and it drives fantastic down the road. a few squeaks but nothing out of the norm. It sits just right. and sounds like a true hot rod with dual exhaust! The car includes Indian Chief Hood Ornament. 12 bolt rear end. electric wipers. electric windows. painless wiring harness. front disc brakes. tilt steering wheel. shaved door handles. door poppers (the front two work with remote). forward tilt hood. Dakota digital STR2000 dash. CD player. Paint has a few small dings and paint chips. most of which are on the right front fender area. No major rust that I can see. except for one spot on the front left corner of the hood where the paint has bubbled a little (see pictures). Frame off restoration in 1992 (estimated $7. 00+ in parts added at this time). The electric window motors are either under powered or the window felt around the window causes too much resistance. The driver’s side electric window has no problems at all. it just seems to be the other three. the windows go down great. they just need a little help on the way up. The Dakota digital dash has a loose wire. or is picking up some interference from a sensor. on occasion the blue lights on the instrument cluster will flicker. I tried to fix the flickering dash light by replacing the alternator and replacing the ignition wires. the flickering still occurs. I believe I have touched on all the quirks with the car. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. The car starts up. runs good. and is a fun car to drive. The car has power steering and the brakes work great. The car has been sitting in my backyard under a car cover for the majority of the winter. This is an extremely rare opportunity to purchase a fantastic custom automobile. Included with the purchase is a 1. 5 inch thick binder of including: photos of restoration process. independent appraisal (from Pacific Automobile Appraisers). instruction manuals. and many receipts. A detachable roof rack used to carry surfboard is available if interested (it is in much need of restoration). This a California car. it had a frame off restoration around 1992 and has been in California its entire life from what I am aware of. Anybody is more than welcome to come and view this car in person or send an appraiser to give them a further insight to its condition. The current mileage on the odometer reads AROUND 16. xx I am unsure of the actual mileage since the instrument cluster was replaced and is not the original.
