1958 Pontiac Chieftain 2 door Sedan

You are looking at a mostly original (except wheels) car. From past history, this car was put away in a barn in Pennsylvania in 1967. It was dormant over 40 years, then purchased in an estate sale in 2010. I purchased the car about a year and a half ago. I have been working on it and know it well, so feel free to call me with any questions.

• Floors, trunk, extensions and inner rockers are excellent

This car runs and drives. It could use more tinkering, but I have no time for it any more. It is a sound car and a great start for an awesome driver or full restoration. If you have any questions, please call (585) 259-6614. I know this car well and will answer any questions.
