Yes, OG eng/trans No problem. There's usually something interesting around here Freshening up the original 347. It had 2 broken rings, and a blown head gasket. And it ran fine. Should be lots better now though
Love them 57 Pontiacs! My highschool shop teacher had a Pink B'Ville Convert with a Contintal Kit and Fuel Injection! Yes, woman teacher!
Groucho, when you get around to postin more pics, please try to get a close-up of the shiny red part for me. It looks beautiful. Thanks!
well now I know how mine would have look. it was one of two color combo's I was thinking of going on my 57 chevy.... the other is close to your coupe
Beautiful car, I've been partial to these ever since my father bought one new (his was a Star Chief), colors were cream with a red insert area. I was old enough to drive, and recall coasting down a hill, turning the key off - then ON at the bottom of the hill BLAM!... Did that several times until the muffler let go...
How much is that car lowered and what size rims and rubber is on it? I just picked up a 57 Poncho and love that look. Mine it black on black however....
Front is actually HIGH cause the motor's out in this picture, and the rear air shocks are pumped up to get it off the trailer. So, i can't really answer that
Thanks to the HAMB and people like you for recognizing what I do! Its about putting a bunch of junk together in the back yard!
Hey Groucho, my cousin has that black '53 Pontiac Chieftain and you know it's clean. I know you saw it for the 1st time at Bob's then Hollywood Hot Rods, but this '57 is bad ass. Can't wait to see more pics Take care
I dig that 53. We're trying to work on a trade deal. The 57's running again. I'll try and get the hood on it today, roll it out, and post more pictures. Anyone within reasonable reach of Nipomo/Santa Maria will be doing themselves a big favor to have Paul tweak on your car this winter. He's reasonable, FAST, and he has the eye for this stuff. He did this car in 2 weeks!
