Welcome to the Official RU-vid Channel for "Just Style & Performance". This channel is here to showcase owner's collector cars that are for sale or other fun videos from my adventures in and around Florida!
My dad owned a '66 Grande Parisienne with a 396 4bbl producing 325 hp. The transmission was a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic. The car was light blue with a black vinyl roof. The interior was dark blue with the Strato bucket seats and center console. Dual exhausts came standard with the 396. It was a beautiful car and man could it move! It looked fast even standing still! Great cars! 😉
I should also mention that at the same time that my dad owned the '66 GP there was another '66 Grande Parisienne just a few blocks away. This one was canary yellow with a black vinyl roof. It had the 427 4bbl with the 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic. It was probably the most beautiful Pontiac that I have ever seen! Those long sweeping lines found on both the Grand Prix and Grande Parisienne were accentuated so well by the canary yellow paint scheme. To this day there is still a '66 GP in my town. This one is lovingly owned by the grandson of the original owner and is equipped with the 396 and automatic, gold exterior with gold cloth bucket seats and interior. Still an eye-turner after more than 50 years! Beautiful cars!
In the fall of 1965, my mom bought a 1966 Le Mans, our neighbor bought a 1966 Grand Prix, and my mom's friend bought a 1966 GTO. All within about 4 weeks. All 3 were beautiful cars. The Grand Prix was a gold metallic color. The owner of the GTO was a nurse who was a hottie in her own right. And she knew how to drive that GTO with it's 4-spd. Every time I think of her in that GTO, I am reminded of The Graduate...."What are you doing, Mrs. Robinson?"
From what Sal has told me and what I've seen online, it was a center console (not listed due to damaged),a bezeled dash and some extra trim on the exterior. not much info on the deluxe I could find, but i could find a lot on the Hurst Jeepster Commando!
Great video! I have pictures of me sitting on a tire while my Dad was wrenching on his impala. I think it was a 64 but ill have to find the pic. Very cool car!
Hey, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with SEO your videos and optimizing your channel, which will help your channel and videos to rank on top of the search result. In result your videos will reach to a wider audience ! Please Lmk what do you think ?
I’m a bit far from KY, but i do work with a shipper that can help get it there. If you interested, I know Wes I open to offers on the truck. Give me a call anytime
Very cool. Turbo carrys in this generation are very rare. It was a factory option for 97-98 models. They most likely did a motor swap and took it out of a 97-98 Carry. That gauge cluster came off of the Suzuki Every Joypop since Carrys do not come with a tachometer.
