My dad had one in the 90s it was white but it had a grey Like interior from what I remember and he had it on gold Daytons mannn that was a clean car I miss it

Had 2 of these 77 and 86 the best to come out of GM 305 and 350 small block are legendary in reliability and mileage...thanks for sharing

Everything worked out, and that boat is that heavy, but there was no reason he should have lifted it that high to move it, that just added to the danger if it fell

Nice boat, what is the type?

Where is the fresh bottom pant

Best motors ever . Many copied OMC later

Beautiful car

My 1971 85 hp sounds exactly like this and the thing still fires up right away. It pushes my 17.5 ft boat 34 mph and just asks for a little too much fuel in return for its reliability. Replaced ignition points, power pack, cleaned carb and she will go until they outlaw 2 strokes. It keeps the mosquito population down when first started, but that been part of its charm since I was a little kid.

1975

Same engine my dad has bought it new in 70s runs just like the day he bought it hauls ass

How fast is it?

FREAKING SWEET !!!!!!!!!

These were some of the best outboards made by any manufacturer. OMC would still be in business today if these exact engines could still be produced.

Listening to that engine brings back good memories 🙂 Can almost smell the 2 stroke oil burning.:) Those were great engines, as a kid my brother and I would look forward to seeing the new model year engine, what the design on the cowling looked like and what the new biggest HP engine would be.

Very clean

Grew up on the Javelin 85! Learned to barefoot and slalom behind that motor! On the old tri-hull! Memories! Thought power trim was trick!!

Shit regret getting rid of my 88 Pontiac, sold it for 1200 ... every time I think about it I slap my self.

You took me right back when I was 8 with my dad on a Saturday morning

parisienne didn't sell well in u.s, the only reason u.s got parisienne, is because pontiac downsized the bonneville, (renamed the grand lemans), which was a huge failure.

👍👍👍👍

Do they have steering tube already on motor transom ?

Gotta be 40+

Though I have had (and enjoyed owning/driving) a number of Cadillacs and Chevrolet Caprices, and, at least as far as the Caprices are concerned, wouldn't really mind having another one, still, I'd rather have one of these or an Oldsmobile 98 or a Buick Park Avenue/Electra/LeSabre any day of the week. Give me any one or all of those over a Cadillac or a Caprice. (The irony here being that I've never actually had, driven or rode in a single one of those other cars; still, for me they are nothing if not at least visually and stylistically superior to the Cadillacs and Caprices of the same era.)

She's definitely well preserved!🥰💋❤🤟🎄👵🇺🇲🧁⏰🏆👠👑👒💄💎🪙☮🇨🇦

Much as I love that car, glorified Delta 88 no doubt. Shocking.

brother had one of those in dark green with a diesel...it was a beautiful car and this one still looks good..sure miss real cars not the plastic jelly beans and suv boxes theyre making now

Love. My dad had the 1976 Model Year. It was an amazing engine. Memories.

Favorite canadian car; miss car interiors like that 😍

What an epic soundtrack. It looks quick, too !

Bought one new in '85-great car!

Just look at that brougham package !!! Thats when Detroit still built cars WE wanted and didnt need 400 plus horse power/ performance on everything.Never again will Detroit build cars like these again.We are left with over performance soul-less crappola from ALL car manufacturers , mores the pity.

Very nice! I love the turn signal sequence in the front and the cornering lights, along with the pillar lighting, too! Very classy. Makes me want to cruise around Paris in one of these. 😎💯

Sir, when will you LS-swap it and remove those fender skirts?

Mine's name was Hal, black top, blue interior, somehow got 25 mpg if you weren't playing around. Got t-boned around 2005 and would've been fine with 2 new doors because it was a tank, but the insurance company declared it salvage due to age and I didn't have the cash to see that through. Thanks for the memory trip, and RIP Hal.

Phil colins??

Keep it Beautiful. Must be original owner since it has those plates

Is it for sale

Bought one new, loved it, wish I had it back. Lee

Beautiful car! Love that color combination. Pure luxurious

What a Beauty, they sure don't build them like this anymore !

Is this for sale?

Check my channel big dog, did a quick upload on mines

wow...look at this, a thing of beauty and sound....listen? its like sitting in your living room listening to Max Webster back in the day.

THIS Is When Cars Were Made..

This was the Top of the Line Pontiac in 1985. The best Pontiac had to offer and honestly just a beautiful car. I come from a hardcore Pontiac family and the Bonneville was the model to own. But the Parisienne was even nicer. They were so distinctive with those rear fender skirts and opera lights. The Brougham was worth the extra money in my opinion because you got the pillow top seats and nicer pull handles on the doors. Wish more people appreciated these classic cars. Great video.

Am I going to be the only Pontiac fan to point out that this car has the extremely rare optional gauge package. You almost never see it on the full size Pontiacs but you can clearly see in the video the temperature and fuel economy gauge. Awesome car.

Clean big dog i got a 78 2 door bonneville seafoam green and sage with those same wheels and white walls. Take the skirts on and off depending on the day lol

👌👌👌
