1963 Pontiac Strato-Chief, its the canadian version of the american Catalina, except with the Canadian Chev bits. Purchased at an auction, but I never got around to doing anything with it.
General: V8 3-speed Automatic, Runs and Drives will need carb work for daily/reliable. Miles unknown its got a five digit odo and has likely rolled over. Power steering, manual drum brakes on all four tires.


Exterior:
-Bumpers/Grill are all there, they are solid and shiny with no major dings or scratches.

- Emblems are all on the car, and again are in good condition, even has the original dealership emblem on the back.

-Trim is again all there and on the car with minimal dings and/or scratches, the exception being of one of the taillight bezels which is cracked, can be repaired or easily replaced from ebay.

-Glass: ALL practically brand new no cracks or scratches and do not leak! Rear curved window in MINT condition.

-Rust: Two spots of rust only, whats included in the photos is all there is, no surface rust or bubbling paint anywhere else on the entire car. Floorpans and trunk are no exception, solid as a rock.

Interior:

- Headliner has no tears or stains in it and is fairly tight

- All accessories, such as window arms, heater knobs, courtesy lights, light switches, etc. are all there and in great condition.

- Dash is in great condition no cracks or scratches, all the trim is there and in good condition,

-Steering wheel has a few cracks in it these can be fixed, however the horn plate/trim is intact and undamaged

- After-market stereo is mounted under the dash so should you decided to remove it you will not maim the dash or leave a horrible empty space.

- Speedo and after market gauges all work.

- Unique/neat little features such as the heater controls (bars that move with the knob kind remind me of audio bars)

- Seats: the front bench seat will need re-aupholestering, just needs new material, no real repairs to the springs are necessary. Back seat is in much better condition and has what looks to be the original un-marred fabric you could use as a reference for the front seat.

Thats pretty much it, this would make a great and simple project car, practically everything that you could need to restore this is out there and doesnt take a whole lot of looking to find. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions, hopefully I will be able to answer them. In the mean time this is just sitting in my backyard taking up space so toss me an offer.
