This 1931 Pontiac Big Six two-door sedan was acquired by the seller in 2020 and subsequently built into a street rod. Power comes from a 350ci Chevrolet V8 with a Holley carburetor, a Weiand aluminum intake manifold, and a dual exhaust system with cutouts, and the engine is backed by a Powerglide two-speed automatic. Finished in red with maroon fenders, the car rides on a boxed frame with a Fat Man independent front suspension, a C3 Corvette rear assembly, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. Other highlights include Foose 18” alloy wheels, wood running boards and interior trim, two-tone upholstery, a Jensen digital media receiver, and aftermarket gauges. This custom Pontiac is now offered with a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.
The steel body was removed from the frame and stripped before the car was repainted in red with maroon fenders. A klaxon-style horn is mounted to the headlight bar, and other exterior details include a mesh grille insert, louvered hood side panels, round side mirrors, wood running boards, and a rear-mounted spare. Paint imperfections are noted by the seller, and chips around the car are shown up close in the image gallery below.
Foose 18” alloy wheels are wrapped in 225/45 front and 235/55 rear Yokohama YK740 GTX tires. The steel frame has been boxed, and a Fat Man independent front suspension with unassisted rack-and-pinion steering has been added along with a C3 Corvette rear assembly. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, and the booster is mounted below the floor
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in beige vinyl with maroon diamond-stitched inserts, and the upholstery scheme carries over to the door panels. The front headrests are embroidered with Pontiac lettering, and wood trim accents the dashboard fascia. A Jensen MPR210 digital media receiver is mounted in a custom overhead console, and a Speedway Motors aluminum throttle pedal has been installed. The seller notes that the car is not equipped with a climate control system.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames aftermarket instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 365 miles, which is said to represent the distance driven since the build was completed.
The 350ci V8 was source from a 1995 Chevrolet truck and rebuilt prior to installation according to the seller, and it is equipped with a Holley carburetor, a Weiand aluminum intake manifold, “rams horn” exhaust manifolds, and T-bar valve cover bolts. The aluminum radiator is cooled by an electric puller fan.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Powerglide two-speed automatic and a rear end said to be sourced from a 1978 Corvette. The dual exhaust system has solenoid-actuated cutouts and oblong finishers.
The car is titled as a 1931 Pontiac using the North Carolina assigned VIN NCS106771.
