LOVE yanky muscle. real cool example here. but a chev in a pontiac? both gm sure, but the pontiac v8's are one of the toughest out there if your willing to put the work in.

[jonko]

these come stock with chevs

[old mate]

the body shape is very similar to the chev impala of that year, they must be related somehow..

[jonko]

yea very much alike

[GetToDaChopa]

yeah i thought that too, my first thought was that they just put a different front on it like they did with the camaro/firebird

[nemesis_adrasteia]

apparently i was pretty much right

Pontiac Parisienne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the floor pan is exactly the same, as is the chassis. all my mates parts can be used on mine. door handles wipers etc etc. except panels.

[jonko]

[ari666]

can get some next time im round there i also have an original 68' pontiac workshop manual. its like 40 years old. i scored it cos' the parisienne and impala are pretty much interchangable, so if you need help with something on it, post up and il see what the book says

[jonko]

Throughout the 60's and 70's and with some models, well into the 80's, GM used "A" and "B" bodies shared between Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick.

The basic floorpan and inner panels were the same, but each Division designed their own exterior panels to differentiate between them. In many cases, the door skins and roof pressings were the same and the only real differences were front and rear end styling.

Pontiac had their own engines but I think for the Australian market, they might have been fitted with small block Chev's up to 327. I'm pretty sure the '68 Parisienne came equipped this way and it was getting towards the end of Pontiacs being sold in Aus. They only continued for about another two or three years out here. Some had Pontiac motors - as stated, up to 400 c.i.d. but these would be very rare out here.

Edit: Just saw Nemesis etc. post re Wikipedia. At least I wasn't too wide of the mark. Forgot they were built in Canada.

They were actually termed "bias-belted" tyres and they were real shit. They had very square shoulders and tended to tramline really badly along imperfections in the road. (That is, they followed the imperfection, tending to steer the car regardless of the driver's input). They had huge white lettering on most, like Goodyear Polyglas or Mickey Thompson and they had all the wet weather grip of a bar of soap.


They looked the duck's guts, though, and were very popular on HQ vans

[ari666]

and they smoke up like a mother..er

*grin* not that im into burnouts or anyting...

[jonko]

yea mickey T's do smoke good
