This was my first real car red on red when I was 16 in 1985. What a great car it was and so reliable, cold air and just an absolute joy to drive. Wish I still had it. Love your car!!! You are very lucky to have that!
This car is what mine would like to be. A Bel-Air though. Impala is a touch fancier of course. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6zllfabhDYI.html
I don't think he said but someone else commented same as I was thinking- 400 2 barrel. I was judging by the single snorkel air cleaner(?) My mom had a 4dr Cat with the 400 2 bbl.
IN CANADA, THE FULL SIZE PONTIACS , WERE LITTLE MORE THAN CHEVYS, THE STRATO CHIEF, WAS A CHEVY BISCAYNE, THE LAURENTIAN, WAS A BEL AIR AND THE PARISIENNE WAS A IMPALA, THE TOP OF THE LINE GRANDPARISIENNE, WAS A CAPRICE. ALL HAD A CHEVY BODYS AND CHEVY DRIVETRAINS.
Actually, I'm not certain but I think in the U.S. the Catalinas had a lot of Chevrolet in them, too. I think that they were on a Chevy chassis but with Pontiac engines and were smaller cars than say a Bonneville. Maybe someone knowledgeable about Pontiacs can comment(?) BTW, I love the car. When he turned on the radio the music sounded like it was coming through the reverb option that was so cool in that period before stereo and FM became common. The reverb became options in some cars under different names but I don't remember their marketing names. I think Pontiac might have been the first- the first that I heard, anyway. My Grandpa had a beautiful '60 Bonneville 2 dr and later a '67 or '8 4 dr Bonneville. He loved his Pontiacs.
I notice someone installed those aluminum wheels. My parents were Pontiac people back then; they had the best dashboards, particularly with that climate control that looked like a radio.
@@mickangio16 I'm well aware that these were factory wheels. Starting in '69, Pontiac went, finally, back to 15" wheels and these were history. Try again.
1982 was the first year for that 6.2 litre V8 diesel motor which replaced the previous 350 V8 diesel motor which was introduced in 1978 but was only offered on the C10 pickups with automatic transmissions. When that 6.2 V8 diesel motor was introduced, it was offered on all models except the 2 wheel drive Blazers & Jimmys.
