Vehicle Description
Interior
You can take this interior to the bank in blue...the vinyl is just
beautifully preserved and pristine. Door panels, front buckets and
rear bench are like new. A ribbed chrome topper covers the center
console which races through the front buckets making room for the
shifter and goes forward hiding under the original dash. More
perfect wood applique for the gauge cluster, and center panel which
houses the airflow levers and the factory installed AM radio. To
add more wood, an aftermarket wood rimmed steering wheel fronts the
applique. A trio of aftermarket gauges hanging under the dash
provides more driver input as to the vitals of when this car is off
and running. Blue carpet floods the floors along with rubber
Pontiac embossed mats, a crack free padded dash top in blue and a
nice blue headliner floats above all this interior beauty.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a snazzy 389ci mill circa 1966/66 and carrying a
YC stamping code. A metallic light blue painted block and intake
with chromed valve covers, and air cleaner housing rounds out the
wonderfully restored engine bay. Hoses are all supple and shiny,
and only very minor corrosion is seen on any parts. A single
carburetor is on top and a correct 2-speed Powerglide automatic
transmission with a 10-bolt 3.08 conventional rear make this runner
have the ability to get down the road in two shakes of a lambs
tail.
Undercarriage
Up on our lift we literally could turn this car upside down and run
it around and everyone would be just as impressed with first and
finish under here as well as you would be for the topside. Merely
surface rust on the untreated components, sexy dual exhaust, (yes
exhaust can be sexy to a car guy!), snakes rearward via Flowmaster
mufflers, all the while running past perfect black floor pans and
frame. Power drum brakes are all around and we see an independent
coil spring front suspension along with a 4 link and coil spring
rear set up. All looking good for this Poncho.
