I WANT THAT GP IN THE LAST DOCUMENT!!!!! Do we know any more about that car???? 427, A/C, transistor ignition and a whole bunch more. Wow, what an option list.........

The serial number tells me it's a pretty late build too.

 Is H Laurel Mist a light green ? With fawn interior that would be nice.

From the CP library paint code website, I found it's the same as Seafoam Green, Palmetto Green, Willow Green, yes, pretty light.

Oh, that would be a cool car........

The white/black '69 2+2 was our feature car. I'm sure it's the same one- same options including speed warning. Great docs!

Those were the colors on my '66 'Chief. When I redid the interior I did it in the tri-color Fawn as per '66. Yes it was a real nice color combination.

I noticed that in the original registry. Your's and one other car only in the whole registry showed that colour.

They're just ones I've accumulated over the years. I find it interesting that some of the "best" cars are company demos or executive cars. We sure didn't have any of these in Saskatchewan! Seems like Alberta and Ontario, though I don't know what the Canadian economy was doing in those years to cause it.

I don't have the documents but I do have the VIN for a GM executive car that I owned. 69 GP 4 door hardtop, 427, TH400, air, cruise, AM/FM 8 track, PW, PL, P Seat, P Trunk, Posi, Disc Brakes, pretty much every option except Tilt! The reason I say this is because there is the identical twin to this car in Sask, right down to colour. I am betting GM did a few for their zone managers, which is what this car was used for.

I also know the VIN number and have the cowl tag off a 69 Parisienne 427 TH400 convert, red, white guts, which I crushed, sadly.

If I ever feel rich, I might get the documents for both cars even though they are long crushed.

 I noticed that too but It skews the production figures, basically no one was ordering these beasts, that's why the production is so low, no demand for these type of cars in Canada at that time.

I had a buddy who worked at GM HQ in fiancing department, he was a dealer principle liaison type of guy, always got a company car and he had the ability to do COPO for his own cars. He built some crazy awesome cars, he could even override recommended colour combos. One of the nicest I ever saw was an 86 Regal T Type he built for himself, absolutely every option, he did it in two tone black and gold with t tops. it was an "Executive Grand National" a way over the top car that no one would have ever even had the knowledge to order. The problem he had was that he couldn't hold onto the cars very long, he'd be at a dealer doing his calls and the salesmen would come up to him and say he had a customer who saw the car and wanted it. They were sold as fleet demo's.

Suffix LC is 427 390 hp with a T400. ( B body Chev ) which would be correct

Suffix HM also stand for a 350  250 hp with a T350 2bbl Chev body , so if it is stated in the documents its either a typo error , or  a unique Pontiac suffix code ???

Has anyone heard of or seen a suffix code ZZ ? (69 427 McKinnon block)
