Hi All,

My name is John, I own a 1968 Australian delivered Pontiac Parisienne 4 door hardtop pillarless.
My dad bought this new and has now been passed onto me :)
We had great times in this car, many holidays towing the caravan, it never seemed to let us down.

I just wanted to say hello everyone and post a view photos of the old beast,
my grandmother use to call it the "great white pointer"

 

cheers
John

Thanks guys,

Just a little info on the car for people asking...

It is the original paint job, apart from the front left guard from when dad did a u-turn in front of a 1981 XD V8 Ford.
The front bumper got pushed 1 inch across and the guard got replaced, mind you the XD Ford was classed as a write off!

Interior photos...this is where it needs some work, the right hand drivers door/arm rest and seat needs re-doing, I just 
received most of the door/window/trunk rubbers from pontiworld.com.au, I must say Dave from pontiworld knows his stuff,
On both times I spoke with him he was very helpful and delivered the next morning (great service) thanks for the links Stealth68! <<-rubbers getting done this weekend if I get a chance.

I will post some interior photos when I next pull it out from the garage (small garage...ponti takes all the room)

cheers all, and thanks again!

John

Great that you can get some parts Down Under. Are "other" parts plentiful for right-hand drives? Chev Impalas, Belairs?

Welcome John, Great looking old girl, methinks I spot an LPG/Propane system under the hood.
Running that myself only a wee bit bigger with two 600 CFM mixers.
