Whatever happened to the Green 68 427 Parisienne with the bad frame?
Permalink  

I think it came up from Florida to Vancouver Island, then to Alberta.  Whatever happened to it?  I think I got a bit confused as once it was here in Alberta it may have changed hands again, maybe not.  Or the guy wanted the car to stay intact but maybe the engine got yarded out.

Any clues?

I believe it was purchased by a member here after being brought up from Florida by Dave Jackson, who is heavily into 68 Impala SS427 cars on Vancouver Island. He is also a member here I think.

Nope, seems to me I too had heard it went to Alberta but that's a 58 year old memory at work, so I can't say for sure.

 I believe Mike bought the 427 '68 Grande Parisienne from PEI.  I don't know if he bought this one as well.

Here is the last thread I remember reading on the green Parisienne in question, when Dave J was selling it:

Can anybody confirm its current status/whereabouts?

Do you mean RIP resting, or waiting for restoration resting?  wink

I thought the car became yard art due to the rusty frame, but the 427 was removed and would carry on for someday. I can't remember who ended up with it but that is what I recall.

I think 68 427 is telling us he has it.

I still have a wad of cash for the 427 emblems if they ever come up for grabs.
