Anyone here have experience re/re a window regulator in a 66 full size Sport Coupe (2 door hardtop)....?. Our 66 Impala (should be same as Parisienne) reg is almost seized and appears to be missing a guide on the front channel. I can remember the trim guys at GM dealerships swearing at these 55+ years ag...

I found this yesterday still attached to the underside of the pass bucket seat. The car presently has a 1979 truck 305 engine. As there are no codes for any of the optional engines is it safe to assume that this car had the base 283 engine or is there something on this tag that says that. Thanks Percy

As you may have read, the differential spin test has revealed that my original 2+2 is fitted with 4.10s This is a 427, 390, 4-speed Quadrajet A good member has offered me a set of 331s at a good price but added this, below just so I can lose even more sleep over this car "Before you commit, have you thought...

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...

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...

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...

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
