70 Laurentian here.  2 door hardtop, verdoro green, gold interior.  Car has exactly 4 options:
454, TH400, AM/FM and Cruise Control.  That's it.

I have a friend who has worked for General Motors in Winnipeg for a long time. He gave me a poster off the wall in their office years ago. Maybe it will provide a little inspiration for the 70 guys to post:

I've been picking away on a gold Safari Estate wagon for about ten years now as parts are hard to locate. Then suddenly two more drop into my lap last year. The mint green one is far better than the one I'd been fussing over for all those years before. Now I am tranferring the options to the green plain jane and looking forward to summer trips.

That mint green one looks cool! Is that a 454 emblem on the fender?? Keep us posted on the progress you make.

Yes it is a 454....original block according to the build sheet. The other wagon was a 454 too but I got that one less the powertrain. The gold wagon has air, tilt, automatic load leveling and a floor mounted 8 track stereo which unfortunately was kept with the engine by the previous owner. The green car has power steering , brakes, and a big trailer hitch...no frills hauler. The third wagon is a 300 horse 350 safari estate too. Most of the glass shot out, last run in the early 80's but no obvious reason for being parked. Spent some time and got it going, drives great, why was it parked ? In the glove box is every gas reciept from brand new till the plates that are still on the car. this one's a mystery. Sat too long with no glass though...shame.

Yes, I'm in Saskatchewan, the land of six cylinder base models, big block anything is not a common thing here in older cars.

 That's certainly an oddly optioned car!

I have some pictures that might knock your socks off from a wrecking yard in Alberta where I bought a 68 Beaumont parts car. I'll try and get them up tomorrow, after I buy a memory stick to transfer them from my other OLDER computer.
Also, can you tell me how to upload photos to this site? ( duh!)

I put my pictures in a photobucket account. If you don't have an account there, it's free and easy to get one. Then you just link to that account. Again, an easy thing to do. That puts the pic in a bigger, much easier size to view for the over 50 crowd...

If you need help with that, just send me a note and I can help you through it.

Why don't I post it here? That way, if anyone else is interested, they can see it as well.

I will take a shot at this from memory.

First, go to www.photobucket.com I hope the link works for you. If not, just type it in.

Do whatever is needed to register on the home page. As I recall, it's pretty easy.

Once you are set up, you can organize your pictures by album names if you wish.

I keep all my pictures in one album that I have posted on forums. The reason for that is, if you ever delete the pic out of photobucket, the pic will also be gone from the forum. I simply know not to delete any pics out of my "misc" album, because there is a good chance they are linked to a forum somewhere.

To get pics from your computer to photobucket, you just go to the right side and use the browse buttons, then load all the ones from your computer that you want in photobucket. Click "add more" if you are doing more than 3.  If you load the maximum, (I think it's 20 at a time) it takes a while, so you have to be patient.

Now, let's assume you have the pics in your photobucket account.

In a seperate window, have your favorite (Canadian Poncho) forum opened on the thread you want to post a pic in. Open up the "reply" window and type in whatever you want to say before posting the picture. Then go to the photobucket album and find the picture you want to post.

Under the picture, you will see the line "IMG Code" Left click that line and you will see it change color. Now right click that line, and left click "copy"

Go back to Canadian Poncho to the reply window.

Move the cursor to the space under the words you have written, and right click. Then, left click "paste" and voila, your picture will appear under the text your wrote.

Hope I did this complete and in the proper sequence!
