Joe Taylor. He bought Carl's white 66 Strato Chief way back when.

Love that wagon, it seems fairly price. Boy would I love to put a 427 and a Muncie in that one.

I have my 4 speed conversion for the Grande Parisienne pretty much all put together and there's a bunch of duplicate parts. It wouldn't take that much more to assemble another conversion...

But................I have no space and my wife detests station wagons. Not that she comes along with me for old car rides really anyway.

If thats as good as it looks, it should sell quick at that price. Maybe a twin turbo LS 6 speed conversion, they are supposed to be good on gas.

I love it!

You hardly ever find those things today. It is presented as being a survivor. To carve that thing up is sacrilege. Besides, if it was turned into a pro-street LS 6-speed (cool as that would be), it would then get resold State-side and another Canadian hybrid Pontiac lost from Canada. Wagons are rare to begin with, though I remember a clean light blue '66 Laurentian wagon near me in the seventies that was traded in on a new '75 Parisienne, and another mint '66 all-red Laurentian wagon (belonged to a friend's uncle) that was traded for a new '75 Malibu Classic wagon. It almost seems like the time to score a decent survivor wagon at a decent price was 1975!

The 250 was new that year & had more counterweights than the then-current early 292 six. A good engine for a tractor. Anyway the big car wagons with six cylinders came with 3.55:1 ratio out back.
Leave that car alone, just perform tune up & maintenance, use as intended and it should be decent on fuel. Try to flog it (or not) and you will be surprised at how peppy it is - up to a point. They can also deliver mileage in the mid-teens if not tuned up or if the Rochester BV carb needs attention. I would estime 19 or 20 mpg realistically, but then again I expected 19 ~ 21 mpg out of my Chevelle 250 Pg with 3.08s & managed 30!

Come to think of it, the LS 6-speed with updated brakes that require large wheels, perhaps like cdnpont has on his '67 GP sedan, would be super-cool.
