Just an FYI.....
My dad factory ordered a 64 Parisienne 4dr HT in November 63.....
I have been "tuned in" to these type of Canadian Pontiacs since......and don't recall seeing ANY RHD versions......in this part of the country....EVER.
As I recall....they may not have even been considered LEGAL....to be licensed/driven back then.......in Canada...
You might want to consider purchasing a "cream puff" LHD version....and converting it...
10-15 K should prolly fetch you a nice clean survivor type car....with reasonably low mileage...
Check Kijiji classiefied......in Canada....they do show up from time to time....
As I understand it....ALL......RHD Parisiennes....of this era.....used an Impala dash.....NOT a Pontiac one...

Thanks for commenting & all the good info. I have a worldwide search going on for a client & he definitely only wants the RHD.

Mobo, just to keep the record straight for future readers, I think you have this backwards, 62 up RHD Chevies had a 61 Pontiac dash, up to at least 64, maybe longer.

I just spent a bunch of time looking at RHD pictures. Everything I saw goes with 61-64 using the 61 Pontiac dash, 65 and up using the 65 Chevrolet dash.

I stand CORRECTED.......I get disoriented when the steering wheel is on the WRONG side....
Now that I think of it......I'm pretty sure I have a copy here SOMEWHERE....of an Austrailian car magazine.....from 1964....with a 63 Parisienne 4dr ht on the cover....and road test inside...
If I can lay my hands on it......we'll post some pics...
