1985 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham review from North America
"Best darn car ever built!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dash had cracks all over it, the brake light wires had been clipped, the front bumper had a dent on the right side.
General comments?
This is one heck of a car. If you've never driven one, you don't know.
I recently blocked off the egr on the intake manifold, ported the cylinder heads and intake manifold, new valve lifters, and gave it all new gaskets. This engine can smoke the tires on the 5075lb. car over 70 feet.
The interior is very comfortable and roomy. The dash is set up very nicely. I recently put a new Pontiac Trans Am CD stereo in it.
It has sport suspension. Front and rear stabilizer bars, heavy duty springs, big exhaust system.
Big performance, good mileage.
These cars need to be well taken care of.
I raced a souped up honda, and with no problem did I beat it!
Buy a Parisienne and restore it!
