'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.
That is probably as nice an example as you could ever find. Obviously kept like new, from new. I could see it being worth the money as it is so nice.
I didn't think they brought those into Canada. Maybe they did at customer insistence, but in minuscule numbers.
In 2009 I met & chatted at length with Dan LaGrou, an actual design engineer for the Sylone. When he retired from GM he and his son Mark devoted themselves full-time to their own business, D & D Fabrications in Michigan, probably best known for his specialization in the Oldsmobile / Buick aluminum 215 V8s. They probably have the largest stock of those engines in the world! He also has the prototype Chaparral engine on display in his showroom.

I don't judge a man by how far he's fallen, but by how far back he bounces - Patton
they were only sold new in the US. The Syclones being a pick up did not have any troubles being brought into Canada, the Typhoons were SUVs making them hard to bring in. I told the guy at the border it was a Jimmy with some custom work done to it. That was back in 96 when I brought it across. Lot of trouble but well worth it. Mine has only 26,000 miles on it
