1933 Pontiac Economy Eight Special

Racing Pontiac from 1933.

The engine has been kept mostly original. Only a twin carburetor setup has been fitted on the engine to gain a bit more power. The 3-speed gearbox has been maintained. The electrics have been modified to 12V, and therefore the engine is now equipped with an alternator. An electric fan as well as an electric fuel pump have been fitted to gain reliability. The engine runs really smoothly and sounds aggressive with its side exhaust pipe.

As the car is running quite fast due to all the modifications done, the brakes were modified for hydraulic brakes and foreseen of Alloy drums all around for better brake performance. As for the road handling, the leaf springs have been equipped with Hartford friction shocks in the front and rear. The 18-inch spoke wheels are fitted with BF Goodrich tires, and the car has been given an identical spare wheel. Other details contributing to the fantastic looks of the car are the leather tool bag on the driver's side, the brass finishing, the dark red leather interior, the little windscreen and its paintwork. A full tonneau cover is provided with the car to protect on rainy days.

Offers/trades welcome. We will consider any proposition.
