RE: 1963 Pontiac Parisienne 2 door hardtop, Pleasant Valley, PE


I'm sure a few islanders got a good laugh at us when we were there trying to say some of those names!

I pronounce it bred al ban eee. I bought the car, it is excellent underneath, parts car is a 2 door post. Anyone need anything from a 2 door post?

It has a 350 (or so I am told, the motor has the alternator on the passenger side so I didn't get numbers off it yet), Edelbrock carb, rams horns, aluminum powerglide, new Painless wiring under the dash and in the engine compartment, 605 PS (which is the pits), PB, paint is old but usable as is. Trim is mostly in very good condition, rear bumper has a small bend and could be rechromed. Body mounts behind the tires are mint, frame is excellent as well, interior was redone, not stock, but very acceptable. Needs shocks, control arm bushings,front springs, new rubbers in the body mounts, it has a current inspection. I haven't checked the brake shoes or the ball joints, will do that this week. Needed one donut in the exhaust manifold.

The appraisal shows that since 2007, it has traveled about 2000 miles. It drives OK (put about 100 miles on it), but the PS is really quick, not sure if there is an adjustment to the pressure needed? Maybe new shocks will help.

I have a 63 340HP 409 and 4 speed that I will put in it. I also have the original PS setup for a 62 Chev, pretty sure it is the same, so the 605 may come out. I also have some 15X7 GM steel wheels for it, plus blackwalls and 62 Chev dog dish. I could use some good Pontiac dog dish if anyone has some?

It seems to be a very solid car, rockers look very good, same for the floor and braces. It has had some patches done to it here and there, but since there are no real rust areas other than surface rust, I think it is fine.
