cool!   any pics of the parisienne

Got a couple in the camera, but the cable's gone MIA as usual. I'll get them posted as soon as I fine it.

Yes welcome and I hope we can see some picture soon...we are a very visual group here!!

Hey,I drive my '85 Parisienne from Lennoxville to Hamilton quite often,no problem.

Didn't find the cable yet, but I found one photo that I'd already pulled off it. Here ya go.

I was set up with the Pontiac Widetrackers. Great people to hang with while sucking exhaust fumes and burnouts.

Naw thanks. It's got the 4 rally wheels that I'm gonna clean up. I've only got two on in the photo because 2 of the centre caps had broken springs and the steel winter wheels looked better than the rallies without their caps. A bit of trading at Woodward resolved that lack and now I've got the 4 on.

I'm averaging $70 for a tank right now. The Previous Owner (P.O.) had the tank replaced in 2004. The gas gauge, tho, isn't accurate. I don't know yet if it's the gauge, the wire or the sensor itself. I'm told that there were 2 ranges for tank sensor-gauges with different resistance ranges .. and I suspect the tank sensor may have been replaced with the wrong one ... but then why would the P.O. not have taken it right back and gotten it sorted? Because the gauge does work, just not accurately. When I fill ... the dash gauge goes half a turn past full, and comes most of the way back as I drive ... I usually fill when it reaches under half, costing that $70 .... and it's very sensitive to surging. Pulling away hard, or taking a quick corner pushes the gauge about noticeably.


As for solid ... yessir .. the P.O. had it rustproofed every year for the last 20. Unfortunately, it did rust from the top down .... in the cowl. So I've got water infiltration running down the firewall and it's taken out the driver's side floor. Nothing I can't fix, tho, although Keystone doesn't have floorpans for this model. I've yet to check with Cross Canada. If neither have ... well, i've got a break and a bead roller for a reason .... and a ton of old computer cases for metal.

Why do these things always turn up when I'm not looking for them anymore.


That's a good looking one. Mine doesn't have the bumper extensions. Can you imagine how nice a ride that would be on those new 110k highways they just put in (wait, that was 5 years back, wasn't it?) Still, that would be an awesome drive, Fredericton to Montreal.

Welcome from another Mon-real-er!

Hey Player.

Bernie ... that's exactly why I bought this. These new cars are cheap to run, start all the time, take off without a second of warm up ... right up until something tiny fails and then it's thumb it to the next exit and hope there's a phone. These thing ... unless something catastrophic happens, you'll always be able to limp home.

That's what I tell everyone when they complain about their local traffic. One guy from Atlanta specifically ..... Gawd, their traffic system is a wet dream compared to what we deal with. Even Toronto, i went through there at rush hour and barely slowed from 100.
