Earl, I kept meaning to ask you what happened to that car. How is underneath?
I would love to own it. Dayum!

Hi Carl. This one wasn't owned by a nun, but a school teacher. I think it was parked inside most of the time, and just used for a grocery getter. Thamesford is quite small in size and she couldn't have driven it too much as it only has 37,000 on it. It still has the invitation from GM in the glovebox to tour the Oshawa plant where it was built and the engine serial number tags. It will never be a high demand car, just a neat little mid 60's time capsule.

I wonder, if they make, chrome roll bars, for that model?

Is it safe to assume its original paint except for the front fenders ? does he have the front fender moldings ( side  trim) headlight bezels ? power steering ? rear seat belts ? brakes work ?

Most of the paint is original, except front fenders, rear quarters behind the wheel wells may have been done, I'll look closer when I get back to the car. I have headlite bezels, one piece of chrome may be missing, no power steering. Not sure if it has rear belts but i'll say no. Needs front wheel cylinders at least, new master,and lines done, pedal is very hard, fronts are semi-seized  from sitting.

I'll take that on trade in against a very nice 1983 Trans Am I have for sale

That is a nice T/A. But i need to get rid of at least 2 as I'm out of storage. So if you need a 97 Deville & 63 Acadian....

 

Hi Ken. I'm stuck on $2500 firm for the car. I've got at least $3300 in it and have to pay to get it back home again. I do appreciate the offers! Here is some of the paperwork from the glove box 

Hi Carl. I would drive it onto the carrier, or help the truck driver load it. I'm going to talk to my brother tonite and see if he got the wheel cylinders yet for the front. With the new master on the brakes are very stiff from sitting. The gas tank is off also. It had crud & varnish in it and a hole from a rock about halfway up but not rusty, so I think I have to get a new one & straps instead of fixing it. The engine runs suprisingly good for sitting so long.  Took the valve cover off, and we put some penetrating oil to it, as well as the plugs out. After soaking a bit and some new points it fired up. Had 2 stuck lifters but after adjusting them it smoothed out.
 There was a GM Rochester carb kit in the  trunk, but it is for a two barrel. So it still needs a carb rebuild. I'll keep you posted.
