Beyond the obvious bigblock, anything noteworthy? Someone said "options" but without details. What do we know about this car, if anything? I don't see light monitors, so it doesn't have "every option" like the article seems to indicate...

I've never seen a power bucket seat in Canada, has anyone else? This 2+2 does seem to have it. I've never seen a reclining passenger side seat either (don't know if it does).

I think the white 70 454 2+2 convertible at the yard in Gibbons AB was power bucket. The interior was out of the car, but did see the orange power wire heading towards the drivers seat.
recliner was still offered on 69 American B bodies but was quite rare since buckets themselves were quite rare to begin with (recliner was also offered on the strato bench but those seats were no longer offered in the 69 B cars in the US. That 2+2 is very highly optioned, especially for a Canadian car.
Did the US Bonneville use the same buckets as the US Impala (and hence, the Canadian 2+2s)?
That 2+2 =is= very highly optioned for a Canadian car, but the list of things it doesn't have is long and prestigious (air, speed warning, cruise, and so on). I guess if you want to go fast in a B-Body you don't add all the weight.
The highest option '69 cars I'm aware of, unfortunately, are 4-doors!
I got ahold of the owner, but he's not a computer guy (or at least doesn't have email). I sent him some links to my site and this forum to his company account, suggested his staff show it to him. Maybe he'll turn up one day!
Yes - I will probably go for the online version when I renew in February - it is cheaper compared to the print version - 30.00 or so for subscription
A lot of similar publications ( like Hemmings) will sent a person a free trial copy if asked
It might be worth contacting Old Autos and asking them if they would do that
Being able to access past issues would be nice.
If one reads the current issue article that I posted the writer refers to an earlier article covering the same car in 2014. It would be nice to be able to go back and see it
