1984 Pontiac Parisienne Broughum review from North America
"A great car that lasts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to do the rear springs, but I had them, so there was no cost. Regular thins, such as wires, cap, and plugs. I had to replace the fuel line from the tank forward. But when I bought it, (for $250) it had a new exhaust, and brake lines. I had to replace the rad, and the wiper motor.
Also, the A/C never worked, but it will hold a vacuum. So it will work eventually.
General comments?
An excellent car. I always wanted a Chevy Caprice Classic, but when I couldn't find one I settled on the Pontiac version. Gotta love the fact that the dash clock still works. Rides like a dream, I only wish I could hear the engine a little more.
