'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
Here are a couple pics. The car is pretty complete with a 4 spd, 12 bolt 3:73 rear end. What's missing is the 396 which has been replaced with a 350. So on the hunt for a correct BB.

Wow, great score. That is exactly the kind of car that deserves to be brought back to original including making the firewall the correct body colour once again, instead of black.

Although I don't know the complete history I do know the last 25 years. A gentleman bought the the car 25 years ago and unfortunately developed terminal cancer after dismantling it completely. His good friends onice hearing about his misfortune decided to put it back together so Harold (owner) could have the opportunity to ride in it before he passed. They put it back together with the new parts Harold had collected in just one weekend over twenty years ago. And Harold got his ride in his baby. Harold had already lost one leg to cancer so was unable to actually drive the car. Harold passed shortly after. One of the friends that helped put it together offered to buy it from the family and has owned it ever since. The last time it was on the road was 2008 but he had had it painted in 2000. I was lucky enough to find it through a couple worker who was the other buddy that had put it back so long ago. So today it's in a pretty healthy state and just needs some tlc and the original big block to make it complete.
Very proud to have the opportunity to bring get back such a great car and the stories it carrys that made so many people happy
