Well....the waiting is over! Finally pick up the Grande for Kevin after a few months of playing tag. Offered a price on the car a month ago and he turned it down. Then he called a couple of weeks back with a lower price but still not to our original offer so we said no. Finally yesterday I got a call saying h...

Well, I have been absolutely flat chat since the beginning of the year. Haven't been popping in regularly. The company I worked for was bought out. The new owners found I was considering retirement in a couple of years and basically said they didn't want me if I was retiring. My previous employer backe...

Hi guys, I want to order a new gas tank for the 68 2+2 (396, 325 horse) and I'm a bit confused. I've seen all the other "gas tank" posts and they recommend Spectra Premium and usually the Chevrolet fullsize equivalent. So, when looking it up through various website, it suggest the GM53A for Chevrolet Imp...

Given the season precluding use of our cars and how quiet it's been here lately I figured I'd update you guys on some of my big Pontiacs since they obviously share a lot with the Canadian cars... First up is my first big poncho (bought in 2007), It's a Brougham (interior trim package, primarily a leather...

So I'm curious which digits mean what. I'm trying to decode one I have (i have 2 69s) but some of the numbers are almost kinda worn off. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if this question belongs here but since it is partly interior and partly drivetrain I'll leave it in the general thread for now anyway. I've been putting quite a few miles on the old yellow Grande for my Airtanker work up at Fort Mac and it has occurred to me that having a cruise set up would ac...

A tough situation. I have a hard decision. I have come into possession of an all-original Grande with RPO LS1. This Sedan needs so much more than I can afford to bring it back. I can transplant the drivetrain into a perfect recipient. The hard choice of dismantling a complete 427 car is not easy. How does...

So, this may start some interesting conversation. But I am having a hard time believing this steering wheel was used in a Canadian Pontiac. 1969 to 1972 PMD Sport Wheel.

Interesting question (I hope) When I parted out the 66 Custom Sport one of the things I looked at when I removed it was the alternator. It has 1100597 for the stamping number, (which is on the front 1/2 of the body) and 61A for a 61 amp. "Cool" I thought. I figured I had a spare 61 amp for the 66 Grande Parisie...

The white Parisienne came with a disclosed problem on the Right turn signal not shutting off. A repair plate was sent with the car. This, however, was not the problem. The spring was too weak to push the lever back. You could feel the tension difference between the left and right spring. Fortunately fo...

Based on this image from the 1968 brochure, can anyone confirm that the 427 emblem was unique in color? It appears that all engine emblems were red, except the 427 , which looks yellow. Is this the case?

Tried the search, no luck. Someone posted a few years ago, dimensions and accurate pics of the 1969 2+2 stripes. If find it, please share the link. Thanks Randy
