Front Clip & Rear End Built Turbo 400 Power Steering Power Disc Brakes Only 8,037 Miles Since Build

This 1948 Pontiac Silver Streak Fastback is a seriously cool custom that combines one of Pontiacs most distinctive postwar body designs with the power, handling, braking, and drivability of a properly upgraded street machine.

With its unmistakable fastback profile, long flowing body lines, wide stance, and classic Silver Streak styling, this Pontiac already has tremendous presence. Underneath, however, its a very different machine from the one Pontiac built in 1948.

Powered by a 455ci Pontiac V8, backed by a built Turbo 400 automatic transmission, and upgraded with a Firebird front clip and rear end, power steering, power brakes, bucket seats, modern instrumentation, and staggered American Racing wheels, this Pontiac was built to be driven.

Only 8,037.2 miles have been accumulated since the build.

Pontiac 455 V8 Power

Under the hood is a 455 cubic-inch Pontiac V8, keeping the heart of this restomod appropriately Pontiac.

The engine features a COMP Cams camshaft, wrapped headers, and a free- flowing dual exhaust system.

Performance features include:

455ci Pontiac V8
COMP Cams Camshaft
Wrapped Headers
Dual Exhaust
Exhaust Dump Pipes
Removable Dump Caps

Remove the dump caps when you want to hear the 455 with considerably more attitude, or keep them installed for normal cruising.

Built Turbo 400 Automatic

Backing the 455 is a built Turbo 400 automatic transmission equipped with a performance stall converter.

The transmission is operated through a floor-mounted shifter, giving the interior a sportier feel while providing the durability expected from GMs legendary TH400.

Drivetrain highlights include:

Built Turbo 400 Automatic Transmission
Performance Stall Converter
Floor Shifter
Firebird Rear End

Its a proven combination well suited to the torque of the Pontiac 455.

Firebird Front Clip

One of the most significant upgrades is the installation of a Firebird front clip, replacing much of the original 1948-era front suspension architecture with a more modern setup.

Combined with the Firebird rear end, the conversion gives this Pontiac a much more capable foundation for modern cruising.

Additional chassis and driving upgrades include:

Firebird Front Clip
Firebird Rear End
Power Steering
Tilt Steering Column
Power Brakes
Front Disc Brakes
Rear Drum Brakes

These modifications make this Silver Streak far more comfortable and confidence-inspiring to drive than a stock 1948 Pontiac.

Custom Interior

Inside, the Pontiac has been updated for both comfort and functionality.

The original-style seating arrangement has given way to bucket seats, including a power- adjustable drivers seat.

Interior equipment includes:

Bucket Seats
Power Drivers Seat
Tilt Steering Column
Floor Shifter
AutoMeter Instrumentation
Fuel Gauge
Temperature Gauge
Voltage Gauge
Clock

The updated instrumentation allows the driver to keep an eye on the important functions of the car while complementing its street-rod character.

Staggered American Racing Wheels

The Pontiac sits on a great-looking staggered wheel and tire combination that gives the long fastback body an aggressive stance.

20-Inch American Racing Wheels - Rear

The larger rear wheels emphasize the flowing fastback profile while giving the car a muscular, planted appearance.

Only 8,037 Miles Since Build

Only 8,037.2 miles have been driven since the build, enough to demonstrate that this isnt simply a showpiece that has spent its life sitting in a garage.

This Pontiac was built to be driven and enjoyed.

With the torque of the 455, strength of the built Turbo 400, Firebird-based chassis upgrades, power steering, power brakes, and comfortable bucket-seat interior, it offers a completely different driving experience from a stock 1948 automobile.

Summary

There are plenty of traditional street rods out there, but you dont see many 1948 Pontiac Silver Streak Fastbacks- and certainly not many built like this one.

The sweeping fastback body provides the vintage style, while the 455 Pontiac V8, built Turbo 400, Firebird front clip and rear end, power steering, power disc brakes, and staggered American Racing wheels give it the mechanical ingredients of a much more modern street machine.

Best of all, the builder kept it Pontiac-powered. Instead of taking the easy route with a small-block Chevrolet conversion, theres a 455 Pontiac V8 under the hood, giving this custom the power and personality appropriate for the name on the car.

With only 8,037.2 miles since completion, this Silver Streak offers a great opportunity to own an unusual American restomod thats already built, sorted, and ready to enjoy.

A distinctive Pontiac Fastback with big-cube Pontiac power, great street presence, and the upgrades to make it as much fun to drive as it is to look at.
