I've seen Carl and Graymond post about the CanadianPoncho on Steve's Nova Site a few times... figured I'd head on over and see what was up.

My baby is a 1963 Acadian Beaumont Convertible (but dont tell my 65 Nova)... Silver on Red with a Black top. Currently powered by a six and a glide although an LS1 swap is imminent...



Cheers,
Owen

welcome from another guy that frequents steves and has a 63 acadian

Welcome to the site     I have posted on that site, but can never get a reply, like here... 


Sweet car!!!!    LOVE IT

Welcome here Owen. I think I saw a pic of your car over there. You're home now, you'll occasionally wander over to Steve's for a brief while but this is where you belong!!! Maybe I could sell you some pieces and you can make that 65 Nova into an Acadian!!! Nice car you have there.

Stephen... Thanks! I love your wagon... one day I'd love to build an Evening Orchid Metallic 2 door wagon for the wife... I think we'd have to take up surfing though for it to the reach the full potential... and that water is COLD! 427carl... I love it too! Spent 6 months looking for a nice first gen Nova vert, and happened to find this gorgeous Acadian vert in Vancouver :) 68sd, I'd love too... I'll have to dig up the build date and what not. Carl, Thanks... might have to take you up on that offer of 65 parts... the car is pretty much a shell in need of new quarters and framerails and whole lot of time (which I have none to spare). I also have no zero driver quality trim for it (smashed eyebrows and grill I do have!)

welcome aboard very nice little car you have there

Welcome aboard! Nice Acadian!

welcome owen, nice acadian conv!
love the color combos!

It's nice to see you stop & join an interesting site (NEAT LOOKING RIDE) Do you still have fender 6's /spears & -ACADIAN- hood emblem?

Welcome Owen from another Acadian owner who frequents Steve's sometimes (I like it better here).

Welcome to the site.  My 63 Acadian was silver with red when new.  If Acadian interior's were reproduced, I would be tempted to return it to original color combo some day.  Red interiors are very cool and not that common.

Very sharp looking car! Welcome! You and your car will be at home on this site.

Nice rag top! Red interiors grow on you. Like the color combo.

Welcome from another SNS member. Sweet looking car! We need more pics please... Inside and out.

Welcome to the site, Thats a nice looking ride you have.

Sadly, I was just yanking your chain about spare parts to sell. I don't have much extra that I'd part with.

I know what you mean about smashed eyebrows. I have lived with a smashed pair on my SD since 1986. I finally found good ones last winter. The pair cost me $700. Of course there was a salvage wreck 65 Nova SS 283 factory air car (back half burned) attached to the eyebrows!

 

Nice car Owen and welcome to the site. Look out for the crazy Carls though....theres more than one !
