I was looking at the indianapontiac website and enquired with Steve the owner if he had the following rust free (no holes) parts for my 67 Parisienne 2+2 Ragtop:
Hood
Radiator Support
Front Inner Fenders
He emailed me back letting me know that he does, but he does not know if they would fit a Cdn poncho.
Now I know that my car rests on a chevy chassis, but would any of these parts fit my car?
I thought the hood would be the same, but remembered the US cars had hide-away wipers, where as the Cdn cars did not.
You're right about the hood. Core support is different because the frames are different. Inner fenders are different because the fenders and frame are different.

hood is same! Rest i agree with 67rag396 The under cowl section should be same like US and canadian ponchos.. because only the upper part is different.. at the 65 66 models the US top of the line cataline was the Ventura option..and this car has same wipers like the canadian cars.. so the canadian cars were one step forward at this time!!
as I indicated above, the hoods between the US & Cdn '67's are definately different. My initial thought was that they were the same, but then remembered the Cdn model has a seperate cowl section, whereas the US model does not and the hood extends to cover the hide-away wipers.

We may have what your looking for right here in Canada, we have 2 '67's 2+2 here that we're parting out, if your interested. Thx Dave
Sorry Dave I bumped this up!!!! Post is 2 years old....
after talking to Bud about his 66 4 door Chief, I was so suprised that he got southern sheetmetal (especially the doors and fenders)... I would of course refer everyone to you for parts
