This fully restored 1934 Pontiac Sport Coupe is powered by a a
recently rebuilt Pontiac 223ci Straight-8 engine, which is fed by a
single downdraft carburetor. Rated at 84hp, the Straight-8 is a
layout renowned for its smoothness and linear power delivery from
the era. Power is sent through a 3-speed manual gearbox that
features a floor shifter and out to the rear wheels. With a
117-inch wheelbase, the Pontiac Eight was offered with seven
different body styles produced by Fisher-Body, and this example is
fitted with the "Sport Coupe" option. It is finished in a shade of
two-tone red with contrasting powder-coated wire wheels fitted with
Pontiac-branded hubcaps and wide whitewall tires. In the rear, a
fold-out rumble seat is fitted, along with a storage trunk that is
mounted on a rear luggage rack. The interior is finished in dark
brown vinyl and beige cloth with tufting accents, while
color-matched carpeting protects the floors. Around the interior,
wood grain is fitted to the dash and window surrounds for a unique
look. The rear window can be rolled down. The three-spoke steering
wheel fronts an instrument cluster featuring a 95-mph speedometer
flanked by gauges monitoring fuel level, coolant temperature,
charge status and oil pressure. Among its accolades, this Pontiac
holds Best of Show from Hot August Nights and won its class at the
Forest Grove Concours d'Elegance in Oregon. This sale comes with
photos showing various stages of the refurbishment.
