Wow, sounds like it missed the 400 CID V8 too.
We had a 70 2dr. Sedan, yup a post car in today's lingo, 265 HP Poncho 350 built in Oshawa, bench seat, no radio Power Glide if I'm not mistaken. My old man could lay rubber for about 50 feet in that thing.
ya its still here say, maybe its a 428 ? but my buddys says this is what the owner said one of 8 and its a canadian car with a 427 bbc, dark blue with white int, that would just be a 385 hp motor or 390 ? 425???
Fred, I had confirmation from George that there are only 13 2+2 427 4speeds in all 2+2 models . So theres no way of knowing how many hardtops or ragtops. That would be a 385 hp Ron. Love to see some pics !!

Fred, have you any numbers for 68 parisienne 4dr sedan with 390hp 427? I can verify 1 for sure. Do you think George at GM vintage services can trace a car back from an engine code?
Ya Mike thats Daves car from Beiseker, its an original 396 TH400 car now with a 427, he has the original engine still I think. Dave also has the blue 67 GP 396 4spd car

I had always thought it was a 4 door hardtop for some reason.

It might have been a "keeper" if it was a hardtop.
i looked at the 67 2+2 car its a 427 4spd, power window, power ant, posi lot of documentation protecto plate invoice..... car is apart but looks like a good project.
As much fun as it is sniffing out a 427 car, this 6 car is amazing ! Would look great in any collection or cruising ! Not too many of this vintage in this kinda shape !
