I have never appreciated a 4 door hardtop like I appreciate them now after seeing your car on here. They used to be parts cars to me.

Hey, if you are ever this far east, you can stay here, and we'll cruise.....then when I repeatedly hear "wow....you dont see these anymore"....I can say, yea, theres another one right there! I expect to be in St Catharines in late May to and ready to roll. I'll let you know when I go through Burlington, we can meet at Tims or something. I'd love to look at a few things on your beautiful machine. Hope for an early spring. The kids will miss their dad being so eager to drive them places when I have to use a minivan or neon. I am anxious to see mine with a hardtop and fresh paint and bigger wheels....seeing yours gives me a preview...now I may even get the fender skirts painted too, just in case.

1967 Grand Parisiennes and Grandprix's are Beautiful cars for sure !

I just returned from a trip to the Southeastern U.S. and the yard I visited had what I think was a 69 GP two door complete car. I noticed all the emblems and mouldings had been removed but all the sheet metal was good.
I know a local guy that had a 67 GP convertible and I never really realized how rare that car was.
I two have a new appreciation for the 4 door hardtop, it has all the styling of the two door, you have to drive with all the windows down and the room and convience of the 4 door.
Great looking car!!

I love the original wheel coverS and the Rallies!!!! I am going out to Andersons next week, and have a better look at the 67 Grand Parisienne in YOUR avatar I think if the floors are gone, I should buy it for the front end alone! Its only a 2 door though lol

Those GPs look awesome. One of the nicest looking cars made in the 60s. I was never able to find one close to home, but I'd love to have a BB some day.

Thanks guys very much for the kudos, nice to see these big 4 doors getting some respect. I'm working on getting some actual shots of this car as it drove in Ottawa '67.

2stone'.. Late may '10? Lets all get together and meet you in Burlington as you come through! I'll arrange it time come for sure!

Love that 4 door. I think after i install the snow blower on the tractor today, I'm gonna go for a rip in the Zapper. Still can't believe nobody in the area wants a clean 2nd gen.

Here is a pic of my brothers 2 67 ponchos. The one on the left is a Canadian 67 gp 327 he sold 3 years ago. The guy who bought it did a total restore of the car . The one on the right is the one he still has American GP loaded 428 70000 original miles never been painted a true survivor

Both of them are beautiful cars - really like the color, and any 428 Pontiac is worth owning, especially a mint car like the this GP.

Sweet 67's. Love the Granada gold. It's always been one of my favorites.
I can imagine the Gp with the 428 would really step up when kicked!

Here's a webgrab from a few years ago. I imagine it's some sort of modern Burnt Tangerine or copper somthing, but I think it totaly suits the car. Or was that colour actually offered on the USA Grand Prix?
The big Torque Thrusts look great as well. I'd love a set of 17x7's on mine.

(SHARP) Yes it was made here (N/A) A parting thought on GM My grandaughter was home from Sarnia. She was having a problem with her/my 2000 S10 cry

She could not set the clock and it was low on gas.... wink

I took it uptown and filled it up..

Reg cab 2.5, auto, LS, tilt, cruise, air, CD I paid $2500.00 for it 3 years ago.. Bought off Copart (from PA.) needed a rad support and grille and hood.. It has215,000 MILES on it It has had 1 set of brakes, no front suspension work(its tight) gets 30 mpg @100kmh Has never had a trans flush, fuel line flush, brake line flush, rear end flush.. original exhaust, and I had to replace O.E. plugs and wires on it ... 360,000KM Dam GM'S

I saw that 428 car on Saturday when I met 66 Grande guy there.

To say that car is stunning is almost insulting it. It is an incredibly gorgeous, clean car. The interior, the trim, the paint, everything. It's amazing!!! I could hardly stop looking at it. I just wanted to steal it and bring it home with me!
