It's got "dripper" valve covers. Those are for the high perf BB engines. Hard to find these days......Very cool.

Of course there was no such thing as one of these. I have seen this car a number of times in a business in Edmonton. Never seemed to get driven that I saw, but is a nice conversion of  a custom sport convert into what they probably should have offered.

Still a couple of days left for bidding and current bid is $8,500 for Grande but reserve not met.

80% of the vehicles reserve have not been met so might not be a whole lot of vehicles sold.

The market might be cooling a bit now as we come out of covid. 

I was speaking with an engine builder that rebuilds motorcycle dirt bike enhanced engines and he was selling everything he had in stock a year ago, cleaned his shelves off and shipped them everywhere including across the pond and now says that is slowing down.

We drove up to Edmonton today, to have a look at the selection being offered, some very nice cars and yes cool Pontiac's wow..

The 66 looked a little worst for the wear if you will, sometimes photos certainly do not necessarily show a real portrait the item offered for sale.

But still it's a Poncho (-:

 So what was this car born as?  A Parisienne convertible that someone has added a Grande Parisienne tailpan and badging?

 Yes, that's what the VIN shows, 76467, Parisienne V8 convertible. There is a photo of the VIN on the auction site.

 It is funny how that happens. You kind of wonder if a truly appreciative buyer gets into his/her own mind that the vehicle is better visually than it actually is.

Very curious what it will fetch. It sure has potential.

Interesting sale. Looks like a few reserves were definitely lowered to create some sales. I like how they use the phrase "pending sale" to make it sound like everything has sold. I don't think that is happening.
