Is this worth buying for parts? What should I pay? I would strip and sell parts, I have no use for the car. Please don't tell me it's fixable, it's been under flood water, parked since about 1978. More pictures to follow.

I have a 1964 Parisienne Convertible, which has been affected by 55 years of wiring modifications. I've looked online and only found US B-Body diagrams, but I'm finding that the wiring color codes do not match my installation (Of the "unmolested" wiring). From the online diagrams I've found, it...

Hi all - figured it was time to upgrade the front end on my 63 Parisienne with CPP's drop spindle/disk brake conversion kit via Summit Racing.

My 1963 Pontiac Parisienne has a 283 block number 9V280505 I'm thinking it may not be the original motor for the car. Can anyone tell me if this is a 1963 built engine, if not, what year would it most likely be from. Also what was the motor # range for motors built in 1963. Thanks, -G

I have the spare tire and jack up on the back of the trunk shelf laying loose. That's how I got it when I purchased the car. Does anyone know how all the jack parts and tire are supposed to be tied in together as it was delivered from the factory?
