darryl, did you notice the dash is from a '62. And the wipers operate like an american pontiac.

Wow,.. nice!

I noticed from the photos on ebay,.. that the trunk looks like that of a US model Pontiac frame. (no sunken cavity) I thought "Canadian frames" (aka full X frame chevys) were used for export to the UK. Wierd or what? I guess he may have made a cardboard cover of some sort. The bottom cover also looks like that of a US '64. confuse

It widely known that they used interiors from ealier models for the UK export.

That skyline blue is totally MY color! Sweet!

Appears to be a piece of plywood over the trunk well (under the mat)

Did you notice the weird wiper motor? (looks like 60's tempest/lemans)

The dash fitted to 1961-64 rhd Chevies and Pontiacs was the '61 lhd PONTIAC dash transposed. Amazingly quite a number of the '64 Parisiennes have been preserved...sales seem to have dropped off in '65.

'64 Hardtop

I am reliably informed that all RHD '64 s had the Chevy X frame. Mine certainly does. The blue ebay car has what looks like the remains of an aftermarket tow hitch under the back but I'm certain the trunk is identical to mine - ie like an Impala - with the sunken cavity. All of the RHD '64 s were 283 with Powerglide. Some LHD models were officially imported that year as well. I'll try and post the price list when I get time. As Oracle says the dash is from a '61, I'm currently debating whether to buy one from "down under" (actually out of a Chevy) to replace mine which is quite heavily pitted and has been butchered by a previous owner to install a non standard radio.
