Can you imagine ordering red interior today, do they even offer red interiors, all I ever see is graphite and biege. I always ordered my cars with a contrasting interior, except black has to be double black. This GP is a great looking car.

1967 Pontiac Grande Parisienne 4 door hardtop, 77,000 original miles, completely original. 327 4 barrel, with 400 THM transmission, engine completely re-done as original, new seals in trans and diff. Complete, clean and bright red interior. Original bill of sale, Protect-O-Plate, books etc. New tires, shocks, brakes.
'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
Yummy! Ya know I could have spent the money on this instead of the airstream and just slept in it all summer. hmmm.
A question though. The four door astro bench backs are fixed in place and don't fold forward right. Is it possible to modify them easily to fold if you had one you wanted to use in a 2 door?

shhhhh... little known secret,, yes you can .. there is an L bracket that you just unbolt. but the seat won't lock in position like they did in 67 is the only drawback.

Cool! That would make it like a 66 deathtrap setup then!
I think it was pretty common back in the day for dealers to order a model identical to the one on the cover of the brochure. It made for a great showroom display.
Again, I have to state...This would be the perfect car for somone wanting to own a classic for the first time. Turn key and just drive. It's a lot of car, but they are so easy to repair.
Modern rubber is the first thing to add. So much is available now to wake up the chassis, and the rebuilt 327 would respond nicely to a good tune and a set of duals. My car has basically been transformed. It could always be put back to stock, but it's road manners are so far improved, it would be stupid to ever go back. I plan on taking the chassis even further next spring.
I'd expect a Cp fan to buy this car soon, if it doesn't fly at this price, we have a bigger problem with the market that first thought.
