1968 Parisienne 427 H O regrettably for sale


I'd regret seeing it go. I can't give it the perfect frame-off restoration it deserves.

Extremely rare, as in 1 of 17, Parisienne.

I'll start with the bad to get it out of the way. Bottom end sheet metal is shottypical northern salt roads, etc. by shot, I mean inner and outer rockers, floor pans, braces, shock towers, trunk and tail panel. There may be more rust damage, but that's what I can see. Frame has hole in it on passenger side.

Turbo 400 leaks if the car sits for months without driving it, a common characteristic of the tranny. Tires are driver quality, but nothing special.

Now that you've heard the bad, the good is actually great.

I'm the second owner, car has its original 427 HO engine, air cleaner, manifolds, fresh .060 over rebuild, original heads, original carb, it is really complete.

Car is documented 1 of 17 by GM of Canada. Low options, power steering, brakes.

Interior is driver quality, unrestored, better than you'd expect for a 40+ year old car. It looks like the carpet's been changed, but not the seats, dash, etc.

Original owner put Chevy Rallyes on it when new and a Buick tach. I added an aluminum radiator after the rebuild to keep the big 427 running cool.

The price is $10800 which is exactly what I have into it. It's located in
Florida. I'll post photos later this week. If you PM me, I'll send you car photos that way.

It needs to go to somebody who has the financial resources to do a thorough and world-class restoration to preserve this very rare piece of Pontiac Canada history. If you are interested, please PM me.

Chris

Sounds like a really cool car!.
Have we seen it here before?.

What's w/ the 427 HO thing?.
Are you saying it's not the lower HP L36 427/385 and actually a L72 427/425 car!.

I'd expect your production # of 17 comes from GM Canada Vintage paperwork?.
If so does it specify what this represents w/ respect to engine/trans in the body style?.

Sorry you have to let it go..
Good luck w/ the sale!.

I was thinking the 396 325hp as the base big-block and stand corrected that there  is only one 427 engine option in 68 as an RPO.

The car is in Stuart Florida on the east coast of Florida. The Tampa area is the west coast, where I live. Please PM me if you want to see it in person.
