1965 Pontiac find
here`s my 65 Bonneville i found 3 years ago in Arizona at an junk yard near Kingman
An untouched desert junk car .. nearly rust free ..many dents ..looks rough but is very solid and a real black plate CA car. After 3 years restoration (the car is just at the local body shop) the car will looking like new in 1965! Through facebook i found the first owner! Amazing ..yes..i found an tag from 1970 with the adress and name of the first owner under the dash.. i was looking around the www and i found a person with the same name .. same adress .. it was the grandchild of the first owner .. now we had an really good contact and i got an pic when the the car was new in 1965! Amazing! Now the car is in germany ... Cool story!! Some pics .. the found and when it was new .... Coooooool! |

great story ! its weird but in a good way to see when a car was brand new in 1965 and then see it now with little fate sitting in a junkyard. Great that you saved it!

Yes that's a neat story for sure!
 I have to ask....why is your name Parisienne? That's a Canadian only model that not many besides us Canadians know of so there must be a story there too?

It's awesome that you've saved that one! Looks like a solid project for sure.
It's also great you've found the orignal owner. Mike

Cool pics and story. How did you buy it and get it there? Did you fly out, drive it to the docks?

65 Bonneville coupe & 65 Parisienne convertible
Yes.. i bought 2002 my first Pontiac.. the very rare 65 Parisienne custom sport convertible in Phoenix, AZ by my own .. spent 2 weeks holidays and rent a car with a good friend and finally found the nice project car in Phoenix ..i bought it from an older lady .... she was living in Phoenix since the 80th .. before she lives in indiana where she bought the car from the first owner .. its an canadian Poncho .. not every one like these canadian Ponchis, because they are not real Pontiacs ..had Chevy Impala frame, drive train and the US Pontiac shell .. very strange but it makes these car especially!
The 65 Bonneville is in real CA car .. 2 pre owners take a look at the both links theres the rest stories: My 65 canadian Pontiac convertible story:http://canadianponcho.activeboard.co...picID=24274712 My 65 Bonneville story:http://canadianponcho.activeboard.co...picID=24277909 Great life with the old Ponchos!!! |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
