Description

1957 Pontiac Star Chief 4-Door Pillar-less Hardtop. looks like shipped here from Cuba....Lots of patina with the original good running 347 Cubic Inch 270 HP engine...has glass packs and sounds good and healthy, no smoke noticed. Automatic works in Park, Neutral, First, and Reverse but it won’t upshift so far. Recently i added the Trans-X treatment and tranny seems to be getting better, car sat for 20+ years so may just need a complete flush, filter, and fill.
