The mileage of the 96-year-old car is only 36,000 kilometers.
American dealership Classic Auto Mall, specializing in the sale of classic cars, put up for sale a rare 1926 Pontiac Hill Climb Speedster. This model is the first sports car of the company. In addition, it was this car for the first time in the history of the brand that became the winner of the racing series. Nearly a hundred years later, the perfectly restored sports car was offered for $290,000.

Initially, the car, built in 1926, was a standard Pontiac Six. But after a fire, as a result of which the car almost completely lost its interior, the dealership bought it back. The burnt-out Pontiac was sent to a workshop that converted a road-going Pontiac into a racing speedster.

The sports car was equipped with a 3.1-liter V6, which was paired with a three-stage “mechanics”. In a similar modification, Pontiac won the race in its class in New York, and also took third place in the overall standings.

After the triumph, the model took part in various racing series for almost ten years. In 1932, the sports car was sent to the dealership, where it spent the next 50 years. After the dealership closed, the car was bought by a private collector who sold it to the current owner in 1997.

The last owner carried out a deep restoration of a rare car, during which the speedster returned to a completely authentic external and technical condition. The owner is ready to part with the first racing Pontiac for $ 290,000
