Easy enough to find out what engine was installed at the Oshawa factory by buying the GM Vintage Vehicle Documents. All 1964 Pontiac Parisiennes were Oshawa Ontario Canada built cars and yes the 409 was available. Rarely equipped as new but on the option list. Not built on the Wide Track USA built chassis but the Chevrolet X frame. Handling wasn't a high point, nor was braking. But a 409 was a good straight line hauler and look great under the hood.

Anyone know any Barn-Find rumors in central Ohio?

An amazing find for sure. Especially for Nova Scotia. The harsh salt air dissolved so many cars before they were 10 years old. -
Not a 440 car, but likely not a scam. In 1967 the "B" body Plymouth Belvedere/Satellite sub model GTX was equipped with a 440 or optionally 426 Hemi. In 66 you could order a 426 Hemi in a B body Satellite. OK, this car is on the money if you want a decent muscle driver @ $27000 Canadian=$19600 US. On the USA border also.

As the price tide rises to levels that outstrip finances for "hobby cars" a nicely kept 4 door 6 cylinder sedan from 1955 to mid 70's is very easy to justify and enjoy as much as a big bucks convertible/ hardtop V8 model for a good percentage of people. I'm at the age where I'm never, ever buying a project again(yeah right) due to costs and inability to crawl under cars and get back up in one piece. So a nice 4 door in good turnkey "mostly original" condition has huge appeal to me. Especially if it has A/C and brakes that work!

Yes West they did. He was bringing out the buckets of whitewash but I got it started and took off before I had to join Huck and Jim! -

This was about 5 hours after pulling out of a barn on an island in the St Lawrence. 2nd pic is from the ferry boat ride back to mainland Ontario. -

Parked since 1975. In basement of a farm house. This was after we aired up tires and put it on casters. -
Same as me. I've owned 2 Cyclones, one a 69 428 CJ , the other a really beat rusty 67 parts car. 1970 Torino Cobra 429 SCJ and a lot of other Ford's but I've always liked these 427 Bicsuits. RCMP used them (mostly 4 door). There was a 1969 BelAir on my street in the early 70's that was a 427 4 speed 2 dr. post. I had a 307 Impala 1968 and it was a dog. So load that Cyclone up and bring it to Ontario, drop off in London and drag that Biscuit back home. LOL!!!

Really just 3 scrap cars, but with the GM Vintage Vehicle documents proving provenance it may be worth it to someone who wants to build a true "Sleeper" Not mine nor am I interested.
