 Probably a big block, they get more for them than the 350's .  More weight !!!  LOL


 No engine in it so I suspect it was a big block. No B body Pontiac makes it far in southern Manitoba with a big block intact...

Maybe for those guys you see who can't decide whether to use their right or left foot for the brake? One brake pedal for each foot?

Or maybe like a tractor, individual wheel brakes for making tight turns?

This isn't exactly spotted but it's a picture of my car just a few blocks from here that I took almost exactly 40 years ago. You might be able to read the numbers under the front fender "Grande Parisienne"! 

Sadly the car has vanished, even though it sold only about 40 minutes from here around 1992. All my efforts to find it have been in vain.

 So this memory is the reason for trying the Magnum wheels on the yellow car?? I approve by the way. They are a very classy wheel.

 Yes, I remembered this picture in my photo album and dug it out. I always thought the crispness of the spokes on the Magnums really worked with the crisp lines on the Grande Parisiennes.

Interesting, the motor number is Nov 28th but he bought the car in June. It's hard to imagine that an engine that date went into a car built in May'ish so the car likely was built in Dec and sat on the lot for a while. You'd think a 327 convertible would be a pretty nice car, one that wouldn't sit long on the lot.
