History of the 1957 Pontiac Superchief

December 23, 2024

The Pontiac has got the original 347 motor in it that was refreshed approximately 16 years ago by Shane and a Manual Gearbox with 3 on the tree. The Superchief also has the original King Pin and steel bush front end which was also rebuilt by Shane at the time the motor was bought in for a freshen up. After the motor was rebuilt, to original specifications (stay tuned for updates as we make it hammer), it was driven for approximately 5000 miles before it had a front end collision. The car then had a full chassis off respray and the interior was restored. It was partly reassembled then sat in a carport for over 10 years, still registered but never driven on the road again.
