Offered here is a very low production Canadian built Pontiac Pathfinder sedan delivery, one of 1,383 made.  These trucks were based on the 115 wheelbase Chevrolet chassis and running gear. Its engine is a 261 cubic inch Chevy with solid lifters, as used in the big Chevy trucks, the standard Pontiac engine for 1956.

I have owned this truck for 16 years. The truck logo is hand painted in White Rose Motor Oil livery.  White Rose was a Canadian Oil company of the period and was subsequently bought in the early 1960s by Shell.

The following work was done to the truck and I have driven it less than 2,000 miles since then. Here is my window sticker:

Body and Paint

          Rechromed bumpers front and rear, bumper guards, parking light housings, grille and hood ornament which is unique to Canadian Pontiac

          New outside mirrors

          Stainless trim and silver streaks in great polished shape

          All script badges present and in good shape

          Paint is single stage urethane

          Door jambs, inner fender panels and firewall with engine out also painted

          Appears to have had rocker panel repair, probably over 30 years ago.

          New windshield and gasket

          New hood hinges

Mechanical

          261 cubic inch engine rebuilt at 61,430 miles. Not original block.  Mileage now shows 62,3XX.

          Mallory electronic ignition

          Vintage Air

          new 12 volt alternator

          Sun Tachometer converted to 12v  from battery power

          Remote oil filter

          Dual exhaust with glass packssounds terrific!

          Dual Rochester single barrel carbs on Offenhauser manifold

          Split Fenton exhaust manifold

          New clutch

          Rebuilt radiator

          Rebuilt vacuum wiper motorreluctant to work.

          Rebuilt front end and steering. Steering box rebuilt by Lars Mfg.

          Rebuilt brakes

          Aluminum Wayne valve cover

Interior

          Seat, carpet, door panels and headliner older but all very good

          Speedo rebuilt and not resettrue mileage unknown

          Ammeter, gas gauge, oil pressure, water temp, tach (all nice faces) and E brake all work.

          Steering wheel recast.  Wheel and horn ring was a deluxe option and rare accessory.

          Full width divided seat in vinyl.standard was two small bucket seats

          One visor standardno radio

          Inside rear, all original side panels in place and in good condition.rare to find like this

Needs

          Inspection encouraged

          The seam sealer below the drip rail and against the body needs to be resealed in a couple of  places and paint touched up.     

          Vent windows need new gaskets and side windows could use new felts (Chevrolet parts)

 

          Tires have good tread and look goodDiamond Backs 15 years old.

I really like this car. I would think the reserve is above $25,000. It must really be peppy with all the mods done to the engine.
