My first car, last year of High School, was a '65 (Canadian) Pontiac Parisienne Convertible, 327/300 with Powerglide, 5 years old with 60,000 miles...with a SEVEN DAY WARRANTY... On the eighth day, I swear, the Powerglide started slipping...Low Range ONLY, eventually... Drove it for 6 months, urban/suburban, with a final top speed of 65 mph.
Traded it even-up for a '66 Beetle...with a Porsche Super 90 engine poked/stroked/tweaked to about 200hp...that was a true "sleeper" that terrorized many a "muscle car"...ran an off-the-street 14.8, something the "Chief" could only dream about...
Did/do I miss the Pontiac? Not hardly...
