Thats an understatement - 60's stuff thats from your side of the world is "iconic" - when I was a kid, the guy across the road had a Parisienne, and since then I'd always wanted something similar............mine was pretty well worn out when I purchased her - dents and rust in most panels - motor, driveline, suspension, interior and paint very tired - but knew what I was getting - was honest..............I'll post some pics in the future that'll give you an idea of the shape she was in..........

The discs - theres a story - a company here (Hopper Stoppers) manufacture bolt on disc brake conversions (sourced from Australian manufactured vehicles) to fit a wide range of imported and local cars - these are actually a conversion from a locally manufactured Holden Commodore VX...............

 No not ordinary at all, just a beautiful Pontiac. Most if not all your questions will be answered here, i have no doubt about that mate. Sweet Pontiac you got there and the best of luck with it. Please keep the photos coming. Cheers. George.
