1969 427 Full-Size Pontiac
A few of you guys have probably seen this car in Muscle Car Review (as the rotting car of the month). 69 Laurentian, 427/4-speed. It's on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...16911&rd=1
Way too big a project for me, but it would make an awesome car if you could figure out a legal way to replace the body!

Re: 1969 427 Full-Size Pontiac
Bet it was cool when it was new but looks like mission impossible....wonder what the difference is in the body as the seller states.

Re: 1969 427 Full-Size Pontiac
I'm sure this was on ebay a year ago. -I don't remember what happened. The car looks the same except now he pulled the data plate off. It would be nice to see this car alive again.

Re: 1969 427 Full-Size Pontiac
That would be a great car if it could be restored. I wasn't aware that that there were any Canadian built Pontiacs that came from the factory with a 427. I know that there were a few Beaumonts that had dealer installed 427s. These were called Cheatahs. There are supposed to be a couple Cheatahs left but I have never even saw a picture of one. I'm not 100% sure what year they were but I think they were 66s or 67s.

Re: 1969 427 Full-Size Pontiac
I know a little about the Canadian cars from what I've read, but not sure on what the differences are. -especially the later cars. If this is the same layout as an early "Big" Canadian Pontiac then it has a Chevrolet chassis, floorpan and interior pieces. Here is a link I stumbled on a while ago of some details and a '64 Parisienne Custom Sport 425HP 409, 4-Speed. A Bruneau Performance Ent. Click on ENTER, then 1964 Pontiac (under the pic) and then Parisienne Custom Sport for one of his mentions about the platform.

The driver's seat looks to be sitting on the ground.

Yeah, my girlfriend noticed that when I showed her the auction. Then she asked me "you're not going to buy that car, are you?

[/ QUOTE ] THE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE THE CANADIAN PONTIACS WERE BUILT ON CHEVROLET FRAMES SO THE AMERICAN BODY WOULD NOT BOLT ONTO THE CANADIAN FRAME. I BELEIVE THE AMERICAN PONTIACS HAD WHAT THEY CALLED A "WIDE TRACK" FRAME AND SUSPENTION. IF YOU LOOK AT COMPARIBLE MODELS OF CANADIAN & AMERICAN PONTIACS (LAURENTIAN & CATALINA, FOR INSTANCE) YOU WILL NOTICE THE WHEELS SIT FURTHER IN ON THE CANADIAN MODELS. MIKE

Re: 1969 427 Full-Size Pontiac
Ok so lets get this straight.....The body/frame are like 98% gone and he is even suggesting a rebody. Basicly what you are buying is a Vin plate, trim tag, build sheet, and GM Canada docs and reserve is STILL not met at $1025.00???!!!
 Oh and yes and this car was listed on e-bay a while back.
