 I looked at this car when it was for sale by  a previous owner about 7 years ago. It's originally from Manitoba and was very clean and solid. 

I sold my 62 convert about 10 years ago. The 61-62 is definitely less common than the 63-64. To me, the 62 is a very nice looking car, maybe I am just biased.

I'm in the same boat.  Project car from Ontario and parts car from Manitoba, both 2 dr HT.  I was interested to see your valve covers have Pontiac on them, same as the one in Nfld, mine don't but the engine code shows it's the original motor.  I wonder if it was a plant thing???

Wow!  That's a beautiful car.  If I wasn't so deep into mine I'd give him a call.  It was interesting to see the Pontiac valve covers on it and can't help but wonder if someone put them on from another year.

 I was talking to the owner of that 62 a couple of months ago and he told me he had just had the engine rebuilt. He was considering painting it but I thought what looked to me like original paint was pretty good. If I had known then that he was going to sell it I would've had a better look at it as I had just sold my 61 Impala but since bought a 52 Belair.

Thanks Tim. 

Yes, I am definitely interested in connecting with someone else on Canadian Poncho has one but am also interested in finding out how many are still on the road, where ever they are.  With the exception of the 1 in Nfld, which seems to be the best and one of the 1's in Vancouver area, the other 2 or 3 I can find are either project or parts cars.  I suspect my car will be rare when I get it on the road and would like to establish how rare if that is possible.

Thanks, I haven't even see a 4 door on the road in NS.  To the best of my knowledge, 61 and 62 are the only years you can't buy any body parts for, which is bound to make them more rare.  When you add in the 2 Dr HT, you've narrowed it down even more.

 That's my take as well, going purely by cars for sale on the internet, there seems to be way more '63-'64s out there than '61-'62s.  Pretty rough data though.

I have a 2dr h/t and a rag 62 both really solid projects in Fraser Valley BC

Welcome to the site!  It is great to be in contact with another 62 Parisienne 2 Dr HT owner!!!  Please post a few pics, would love to see them.  Interested in learning the history of your ownership and details of your cars.  I hope you'll find this website as helpful as I and many others.
