I just purchaed a 1966 Pontiac Acadian Canso SD after 6 years of looking at cars on the internet. Alot of the work has been done, it has a Cpp mini sub-frame kit, 12 inch manual disk brakes, 406 small block, 11.5 to 1 pistons, blue racer 288 cam, milodon oilpan, mini starter, 194 heads, 1.6 ratio roller rockers, hooker headers, 3'' flowmaster exhaust, electric fuel pump, holley 750 DP, 2 sp powergide with 2500 stall, mini tub,12 bolt rear with 373 gears and 31 spline axels, all autometer gauges. It needs a steering column installed, all the chrome trim and bumpers put back on , and the interior to be put back in. Some of chrome and interior parts have been refinished and some need to be redone (seat upholstry etc). Oh yeah the wheels are made by intro , 17" on the front with 215/45 ZR 17 tires and 18" on the back with 275/45 ZR 18. It also has sub-frame connectors. I am very excited to own this car and plan on doing most of the finishing on my own with the help of my 16 year old son.
Welcome from Airdrie. Nice ride bud. Love the color!

Welcome! A very cool opportunity for some father and son bonding. (And if the son loses interest you can adopt me!)

I found the car on Vancouver Craigslist and contacted the owner. He emailed me back and explained that because of the overwhelming response to his ad and the fact that he owned the car since 1994 and he wanted to keep it for his son that he was having second thoughts about selling the car. I responded telling him that the car would go to a good home and that I would pay him cash. I had given up hope on getting it when lo and behold about a week later he offered for me to be the first one to buy it and the rest is history.

Trev,
Nice ride, my story is similar only as a trade. I had an '04 V6 Mustang (far from stock) and was getting a little bored with it..saw my 2+2 on the local Kijiji site and offered to trade. As we were asking the same price I thought it a fair trade...his son emailed me back wanting my car plus cash. I laughed and said thanks, but no. About a month later, his Dad the actual owner of the car emailed me back asking if I was still interested in his car. The rest is, as they say history...
