Pontiacs and other interesting machines from all GM car show St. John's NL July 26
Permalink  

Attached are some photos I took on Saturday at an all GM show in St. John's, Newfoundland. Mostly Pontiac pics attached including my own 427 69 Parisienne, but I also included a red all original California LS6/4 spd Chevelle SS engine bay, a 73 454 4 spd Chevelle SS, and a mid engined V8 66 Corvair Corsa. The blue 69 Firebird is I think an RA III 400/4 spd. car. The green 56 2 dr post is a top of the line Laurentian. The silver 64 GTO 2 dr post is a 389 with auto trans.

Love that 1973 Chevelle SS, I hear the 73 GM A bodies are coming on strong this season as far as collectables go.

I always liked the 73 Grand Am 2 dr and the 73 Olds Cutlass 2 dr even when new, despite the radical styling change after the beautiful 70-72 models. I'm still waiting for the 73 Chevelle and Buick A bodies to grow on me. But that 454 4 speed 73 SS is a rare one, last of the SS models and if I recall correctly, the second last year for a 454 in a Chevelle.

Yes, 2nd last year, my cousin had a 74 Malibu Classic with the 454. He baked it. A 20 year old with a hot car, never fails.

Where did you get your 427 Parisienne from?

Bought it from a big classic car dealer in Montreal five years ago. Funny thing is that they agreed in the sales contract to provide the original valve covers and air cleaner, which had been replaced with aftermarket parts, but which they said they had in storage. I've been in touch with them several times over the past five years. They always promise to send the parts, but it's now been five years and I still have no parts. Last time they promised was November 2007.  I guess it will soon be time for another reminder.

John Scottie in Montreal. I seriously thought about purchasing the car and they told me the same thing about the engine parts. I probably should have moved on it but at the time I was hung up about the engine changes and I didn't feel that good about them coming up with them. The car does look mighty fine though.

I also looked at the car,and got the Docs on it from John Scotti. But I also knew of a similar car in Chautigauy.

I'm happy I bought the car but I'm very disappointed that the dealer has not yet, after 5 years, met its contractual obligation. If I'd shortchanged them say a $grand, I'm sure they'd never let up until they were paid.
