We acquired this car from a couple in upstate New York near Rochester. The wife inherited this car from her late father, who restored it in 2021 before he passed away. This car was mainly used for parades and car shows before being put into storage about 18 months ago. We have tons of documentation from 2021, when he invested over $88,000 to bring this Chieftain to perfection. Everything on this car has been gone through from new glass all the way around, a new interior, new door and window seals, new lights with bezels, a new master cylinder and brake hoses, and new suspension with gas shocks. The entire car was sandblasted and painted from the body to the chassis; all the metal is exceptionally straight and done to perfection. Under the hood is a 268ci Inline 8-cylinder engine paired to a Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. The engine, carburetor, and transmission have been completely gone through, with new cooling, exhaust, and fuel systems.
