1966 Pontiac Grande Parisienne 2 door. 350-4. Mild cam 4L80E trans. dual exhaust. Black bucket seat interior with Center consol and factory tach. Car runs great. Few small holes in the frame and needs body work
'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.
If the frame is rotten, then other stuff attached to the frame (i.e. the body) likely had some significant rust as well. Sounds like one of those cases where it doesn't look bad as it sits until you go to fix it, then you have to do "everything"... a major project for a car that has marginal value even when fully done. Once you reach that point you hold out for one that's a little more expensive but doesn't need a complete restoration... unless you like doing that sort of thing, or are a little masochistic... lol
