Hi ponco master
I'm located in Indian Head, cars are about 20 minutes away from here, if interested let me know. There may be some stuff you can use. All these cars were driven hard and put away hurt really bad in the early to mid 70's.
Great! I am in Foam Lake. I hear there was a great scrap yard there... Is it still around?

Your wondering whats around the 70. There is a 69 parisienne 4 door hdtp, been rolled hard, not alot of useful parts left on it, some front end pieces, didn't look at the grills that close they may still be okay, there may be other stuff that someone may need, it has a tilt wheel that will be going into the 70. There is also a 67 grand parisienne 4 door hdtp and a 4 door 67 strato chief, the grand prix still has the drive train in it, I think it had a 283, the rest of it is tough. There is also a 59 pontiac in there missing the complete rear clip and I know that there is a another late 40s or 50s vintage car farther in the bush, it too may be a pontiac or chevy? but I didn't go in that far.
If someone is interested in any particular parts, let me know and I'll look for them on my next visit, The fellow that has the property is an old friend/neighbour and he mentioned that he is going to have a scrap dealer come in and haul the stuff in the bush away propably in the spring.
I'm glad I asked. Thanks! Wish I was closer!

Well its official. Winter in Saskatchewan is here. My 70 is still in the bushes and it looks like the old Ponco will have to wait out another winter in the cold and snow. Alas is me, the weather in the province has not been kind this year. I was hoping to get her home and put her in covered storage, NOT.....
Oh well, the varmits will have another sheltered place for the winter.
Keep you posted on her in the spring again.

No sorry to say, had all 3 of them back in the late 70's and early 80's. Didn't know what they were worth at the time. Like so many others drove them then sold them.

Finally back on the site with some news on the 70......Its been 2 long years since I could get to the island where the car was hiding in the bush. To much water in our part of the world and took that long to dry up enough to pull her out.
A few pictures taken today, on our way home and after a long needed bath at the local car wash. I'm looking foward to working on it. looking around the garage i've decided my 74 vintage 454/400 will go into her and shall put life back into it. I desperatly need a old time big block power fix.

Wow, so it was in good enough shape to flat tow! Nice!
Welcome from Quebec city. Thanks for saving that poncho !
