63 Parisienne sport coupe (The Big GTO), black, maroon interior, 409 4 speed; former owner of a 59 El Camino, 63 Corvette SWC, 62 Chev Bel Air SC. 1963- Pontiac top selling car in Canada
Mahone Bay, NS Still not old enough to need an automatic
That would be incredible if only 2 were built and the other one exists as well! This one is black with red interior, power windows and power antenna.
If this is the case - only two built - then the other one may be the red on red one from Quebec that I saw at Barrie years ago before it was restored, and once again at Steve Plunkett's after it was restored. The owner had full photo documentation of the restoration.
Good morning. I bought this car this week. It is in NWO and was sold new locally. 99 k on the clock so it was thoroughly enjoyed. My grandson was the one who inquired here initially. Its a little ragged and the front clip is AWOL. Hopefully find that at another property this weekend. Indeed, a 63 with the original engine. Needless to say I was pretty excited. Finding a trunk load of parts was pretty thrilling as well. Thanks for listening. Ill figure out how to post pics and put some up.

Welcome here. You can put me down as another one keen to hear and see more of this car. What a great find! No matter if it's ragged, the pedigree makes it pretty special.

Awesome find imho. The tach should be a high redline, looks like it is. The shifter is a Hurst aftermarket, the handle is from a Hurst Indy shifter.
I would contact vintage Services and see if they have an update on the 1996 letter, they usually include the numbers of this model number built with a 409, they may not have had that is 1996.
The interior looks in very very good condition, frame looks real good from what I can see.

Here is a copy of the CSL 14G for the 4 speed transmission. Four speeds were not RPO'S on Canadian cars until 1964.
Wow, I'm never too old to learn.
When I was a kid my older brother had a friend with a Canadian 63 Impala 409 4 speed. Does this document mean the car was still assembled that way at the factory though?

Thanks guys. I just knew that there would be some knowledgeable people on this board! I collect rare Plymouth's but feel blessed to have found this one.
