I am really having trouble deciding whether or not, I should sell my Pontiac Bonneville with the shot 305- and get a '67 Pontiac Parisienne.
Or should I buy a 350, and get the G body up and running again.
Here are the pros.
-Parisienne and Bonneville both have a great body.
-Seller is willing to include a section of frame to replace the rotted part.
-My bodyman can weld it in for a decent price.
- Has running motor.
- It's $1700.
Cons
-I just spent $1000 for the welding plus $500 for the floor pans in the Pontiac Bonneville last summer.
-I spent months fixing the electrical issues.
-I also just got it to pass safety, before the 305 broke a month later.
-If I bought the Parisienne, it would need to be towed, which CAA Plus may not be okay with.
So I spent close to $3000 on my Pontiac Bonneville, and all it needs to run again is a 350 swap.
And I'd also need someone to drive me tommorow, from Belleville to the Peterborough area here in Ontario and back, to give a deposit on the car which I may not be able to do.
I can't do more than 2 projects at once, and I'm keeping the Caprice. Help guys?
