Pristine Pontiac: 1986 Parisienne Brougham
An eBay seller (steeda33) happens to be the owner of this particular, pristine Pontiac – a 1986 Parisienne Brougham.
This Brougham is extremely valuable, for a variety of reasons – mainly due to its mileage; it has just 24k original miles on the clock.
It has also been subjected to extensive maintenance and updates, including a full repaint.
Aside from the air conditioning, power seats and cruise control, this car also received a full tune-up, so this Pontiac runs as well as it did back in 1986.
That’s not even mentioning the 5.0 liter V8 factory Pontiac engine, which came with a four-barrel carburetor.

Unfortunately, such a nice car comes with admirers of the wrong kind, too.
The owner, steeda33 on eBay, explained that unfortunately, the car was subjected to the wrong attention.
The car, which is based in Smithtown, New York, was stolen in 1990.
Thankfully, however, the car was actually returned one month later, to the great relief of its owner.
Naturally, however, this scare was enough to convince steeda33 to keep the car under lock and key.
Since it’s theft in 1990, the car has been locked in a garage for most of the time, only taken out occasionally.
