Rubber seals inquiry


Hi guys! Im new here. Im restoring a 66 Grande Parisienne 2 door Sport Coupe hard top. Does anyone know where I can shop for all the rubber seals in this car? Hood shims, trunk seal, door and window rubbers, etc., etc.

Welcome to the site Felix. Trunk, door, glass seals and bumpers will likely be the same as 66 Impala. Most classic GM parts houses will have them in Metro Supersoft. 

Ames if they prove to be Pontiac specific.

yes Mark is correct except for the window felts  (window weather strip) which should be for the US Grand Prix, (as the roof lines are the same)  This makes the rear window felt longer Dale

Welcome here, you've got lots of 66 Grande Parisienne friends here! A number of us own or have owned them and enjoy them.

Years ago I bought the window felts from the member above, NOS Reproductions. I know they don't carry that stuff any more buy maybe he will remind us what brand those were. They fit good with a couple of very minor tweaks. I did an installation write up thread and it's on the site here somewhere. If you can't find it I can look for it later. I might have done a write up on the weatherstrips too, I can't recall for sure.

 Here's the thread where I changed the window inner and outer seals.

Thanks so much for your responses. Ive been trying to buy this car for over six years now. It was outside, next to a shed, under a tarp. Of course, the owner was going to fix it! Until he finally saw that wasnt going to happen, and agreed to sell it. Needs a lot of work. Engine turns up to one valve that is stuck open. But I was planning to do an engine makeover, a 327 ci. Someone told me that changing the cam and lifters can boost the hp significantly. Your thoughts on this?

Don't ever talk to Carl about "Upgrades" for more power. 

Actually Felix, I rebuilt my 275hp 327 and added a similar cam that would have been in the 300hp version. So far it seems a little more responsive.

 LOL, not EVERYTHING has to get a 427 Mark......   Wait a minute, did I say that? Never mind, I take that back. Put a big block and a 4 speed in it Felix!

Here's a thread to help with picture posting-

 Rats, I didn't even check if it worked, just assumed it was still good.
