This is a beautiful thing. I had this exact car from 1975 to 1979. Kept her running until I got to 107,000 miles. Big deal back then. She was beautiful. Thanks for restoring this.

Amazing work.

[@Emslander]

I think this is the car in which my wife and I drove from Illinois to California in 1969, a month after we got married. Had everything we owned in it.

[@streetguzzler]

That would be awesome ..car was sold new in LA at Mike Salta Pontiac ..family owned in LA and in the end 70’s moved to Arizona Hualapai indiana reservation..

[@Emslander]

@@streetguzzler No. bought ours in Illinois in 1969, one owner, then we traded it for a Saab in Berkeley in 1973. It was a wonderful car for when gas cost 35 cents per gallon.

[@streetguzzler]

Sounds like a great long road trip in a great time .. do you have any pictures of that car ? Always great to see from the old time

[@Emslander]

@@streetguzzler Trying to send a photo.

[@dennisleporte2327]

beautiful to start with .....but then to paint it black.....wa ho ! lol

[@streetguzzler]

Why black ?

[@tomasrenzor]

Great work. The car is definitely worth money spent in restoration, I like mine frim first day I purchased it. How long did the restoration take?

[@streetguzzler]

Tomas T I worked 4 intensive years in it .. body was great ..only trunk floor and trunk panels (behind rear window / trunk needs replacement) But we enjoying a lot of long distance car shows and holidays in ..my kids grow up in the car .. where do you from ? We re living near cologne

[@tomasrenzor]

@@streetguzzler my restoration was only 5 months but was smaller than yours. I clocked up 8 000km from april to today this year after my rebuild. I was thinking to visit Sweden Big meet car meeting in Lindkoping. Have you been there with bonneville? I'm from Bratislava (Slovakia).

[@streetguzzler]

Tomas T I always saw yearly all my Swedish pontiac friends in Västeras big power meet ..must be a joy to be there

[@GalaxieMarauder]

music is odd but you had a solid body to work with. everything new was chevy impala ss floor pans?

[@streetguzzler]

The car was very solid ..no , it has Pontiac floors ..impala floors only used at the Canadian Pontiac cars ..Bonneville = Parisienne = Impala

[@vincentvandenberg2672]

great job!! i'm also rebuilding a 65 bonneville.. great car!! same color! do you ship al the parts from the usa? it's hard too fint the part here

[@streetguzzler]

Have you any pics ? Interesting..where you come from .. I'm at Reuver car show at 4.9.2016

[@vincentvandenberg2672]

I'm from Holland. Had to work the weekend , unfortunately. Please send me an email? so I can send you some pictures. [e-mail]

[@paulsheehan789]

in canada, a top of the line pontiac grand parisienne, was no more than a chevy caprice, on a chevy body, with chevy drivetrains. a 283 c.i.d was std., compared to the bonneville's 421 c.i.d, in canada, there pontiacs had a powerglide 2 speed auto., compared with the bonneville's thm 400 three speed auto. the bonneville was built and sold only in the u.s and wasn't a chevrolet!

[@streetguzzler]

That's right ..but the 65 Parisienne was offered at top of the line with a Muncie 4 speed and a 409 Chevy engine ..that's rare and hot stuff too. The Parisienne custom sport was a impala SS frame and drive train ..lower floors and trunk floor from impala and a Catalina body paired to the impala 119" wheel base frame

[@debonairecatalina6570]

hey, is this yours?

[@streetguzzler]

+Lucas Winders Of course ..;)

[@debonairecatalina6570]

+Paul Panther sweet! i have a 65 conv. catalina, best 3200 bucks ever spent in my life! to sweeten the deal, it's my first car... i need to post a video about it so you can see it.

[@streetguzzler]

+Lucas Winders Hi Lucas.. That's for sure a good investment .. I own the light blue 65 Catalina (Pariesienne) see my other videos on my channel .. Love these mid 60 Pontiac's .. Let's see a video of yours !! Cheers
