first post!


Hi folks, Phill here from jimboomba in australia. Came across canadian poncho and thought I'd join! Considering aussie Pontiacs were built in canada or sent as KDK. building up a 65 parisienne convertible RHD. its the only toy I have and doing a shoestring build up ie in my shed!not doing a factory correct job but customising it to my tastes. Our pontiacs are based on the chevy impala platform, only the body is pontiac,all else chevy including drivetrain, chassis etc thanks folks!

Hi Phill, A hello from Shepparton Vic. I too have a '65 convertible to restore. I sent to GM Canada for build sheet and only 48 right hand drives made. I'm going to restore this one cause it still has original motor. Is yours a bucket seat or bench seat car? (I'm looking for a split bench seat) Is it a 327, powerglide? Where are the photos? Cheers Budgie

thanks all for the welcome! Hi budgie, mine did not have a motor in it when I bought it. I bought it from a guy in melbourne as a basket case for $7000 a few years back. Now has a chev 410 big block, turbo 700 and positrac 12bolt. I think all aussie cars were split bench as mine is too. Just missed out on a set of buckets. Seats are rare as rockin horse poo! Try american used, australian importers of USA cars, they sometimes wreck vehicles. pics to come!

Welcome from Edmonton Alberta.  You are going to need a special big block hood for that set up. Lol. Should have enough there to move that heavy car along nicely. Good luck on your build.
