Willow Run Michigian


I had a 1969 Acadian SS 350-300 HP L48 turbo 350 with a 12 bolt posi 3:08 that was built in Willow Run Michigian. This model Acadian was than imported to Canada. Todd asked this question on another forum which has since been closed. When I purchased the car it was missing the original engine and trans but the 12 bolt was still in it. I sold the car to a friend 4 years ago and he still has it although he has used the diff in a 1970 Camaro. It was then that I learned that the Acadians from 1968-1972 were in fact built in the US. I do not know if they were all US built or only some of them. It would be interesting to find out if any other 68-72 Acadian owners have had their cars documented by George Zappora and can verify where they were built.

Here is a copy of a car built in U.S     If they were built in a U.S. GM plant, for sale in Canada, at Pontiac dealers, was the plant a Chevrolet or Pontiac plant? biggrin

       If the cars were built by GM in United States, then they can't be Pontiacs!

So let me get this straight; you are suggesting that an Acadian built in the US. can't be a Pontiac. So is a GM. smallblock built in Mexico not a GM. smallblock ?weirdface

I don't know what the Acadians built in U.S. really are..  I think if GM says the small block, from Mexico is a GM, then it is.. I am afraid to say, what I really think about,  the products designed,and produced by GM for sale at P------ dealerships... So I will say no more about it.. thanks for your ear.

My 70 was built in Willow Run as well. I think they all were. There were 1272 70 2 doors V8 cars built and it seems like they were mostly built in January of 1970.

Mine is the same, the engine and 4 speed were long gone but the 12 bolt was still there.
