It's a statement piece for any collector or enthusiast looking to own a piece of the past that still delivers an exciting driving experience.Inside, the cabin offers a raw and purposeful feel with aftermarket bucket seats inspired by late-90s GM designs, providing a blend of vintage style and comfort. The interior is stripped down with removed door panels, side panels, headliner, and rear seat, giving it a race-ready ambiance. Functional Summit gauges monitor oil pressure, volts, water temperature, and fuel, complemented by a SunPro tachometer and nitrous gauge on the dashboard. The rough gray painted dash, B&M shifter, and Grant-style steering wheel enhance the driver-focused environment.Under the hood, this Streamliner is powered by a robust 454 V8 engine featuring dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors on a high-rise intake manifold, paired with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. This setup balances raw power with drivability, making it more forgiving than a pure racer thanks to upgrades like overdrive and air conditioning. The drivetrain is complemented by power disc brakes up front and power drum brakes in the rear, power steering, and a suspension system with lifted front leaf springs and wrapped rear leaf springs with panhard bars for improved handling.Highlights1948 Pontiac Streamliner Torpedo Gasser Model454 V8 Engine With Dual Edelbrock Carburetors700R4 4-Speed Automatic TransmissionAir Conditioning With R-134A RefrigerantPower Steering And Power BrakesFront Power Disc Brakes, Rear Power Drum BrakesLifted Front Leaf Springs With Panhard BarRear Wrapped Leaf Springs With Panhard BarFive-Spoke Polished Aluminum WheelsMickey Thompson ET Street Rear TiresKumho Power Star Front TiresFull Red High-Gloss RepaintAftermarket Late-90s GM Bucket SeatsSummit Gauges And SunPro TachometerFinancing AvailableVehicle Protection Plans AvailableWorldwide ShippingThis 1948 Pontiac Streamliner Torpedo Gasser is a rare find, combining classic style with performance upgrades that make it an exciting and manageable ride.
