A '63 Parisienne is a very rare car over here. If you can wait 2 weeks, I'll get you the total sales numbers for 1963. Probably less than 600 Pontiacs registered in 1963.
Your car is even rarer if its a pillarless. Means its a full import. All the 4 door post cars were built locally from CKD components.

Is it a 4 door Pillarless or 4 door Post car?
1965 was the first year of Australian assembly for 4 door pillarless Pontiacs. Before that, all local cars were post cars. NO 2 door cars were EVER assembled in Australia Unless it was a private import (and almost certainly it was NOT), your car was assembled locally. Check the chassis number on the left front part of the chassis. If it starts with a "P", it was assembled in Perth. An "S" means Sydney. "A" = Adelaide. "M" = Melbourne and "B"= Brisbane. They were assembled from CKD parts in all those places. E-mail me a picture and I'll tell you whether its local or an import. The ONLY front sheet metal parts which are interchangeable with an American Pontiac are the Bonnet (and it a lighter weight), plus the grilles and headlight surounds. NOTHING else will fit. Not even the bumper. Even the hood springs are different. Crazy - but true. And are your SURE it's a 455? The only way it could be a 455 is if its had a Pontiac engine transplant.  NO Parisiennes ever had a 455. Ever. It would have originally been a 283 Chev if its a 4 door post car or a 327 Chev if its pillarless 283 cars had 10 bolt diffs. 327 had 12 bolts. All had Powerglides. NO exceptions at all.

From the Norm Darwin book, "100 years of GM in Australia", the production figures for locally assembled Pontiac cars are:
688 Sedans registered in 1965 and 1 wagon Most likely the wagon would have been imported specially for the funeral trade.

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.
