SUMMARY
This award-winning bespoke custom Pontiac has been fully rebuilt and really needs to be seen to be appreciated.
DESCRIPTION
- Imported in 2016, by its current owner, this stunning custom Pontiac has sat in a Private Collection ever since
- Subject to a full rebuild at Maurer Hotrods, around 2006, reportedly costing $150,000, this one-off vehicle has covered just 300 miles since arriving and less than 3,000 since its restoration
- Winner of over a dozen awards including 'Good Guys Great Lakes Nationals’ and ‘Hot Rod Supernational’, this vehicle really is exceptional
- Finished in two-tone grey and silver, with custom front and rear bumpers and halogen lights over a stunning black leather bespoke interior with floating gauges, custom door panels with leather inserts and billet aluminium steering wheel
- Protocol keyless entry system, Rockford Fosgate Punch amplifier, Apple CarPlay and much more
- Powered by a potent Pontiac 400, dyno'd at c.456bhp fed through the Pontiac TH400 transmission to a B&M 2200 stall torque converter
- The full specification is too long to list here and there is a bit more on the Condition Report, however full details can be found at our Documents Desk during the sale
- This car simply cannot be described in words and no photos can do it justice, so we urge anyone interested to come along and view it in the metal
