I would suggest registering it at the following link, where your questions can be answered:
http://canadianponcho.activeboard.com/index.spark?aBID=118110&p=3&topicID=25906446

Also, I'd be curious if it's the same serial number as the one I just "pinged" you with?...

Thanks guys. He just picked it up yesterday but I think I have a picture on the computer at work. It still is a 6cylinder. Looks like it was original 3 in the tree but now has buckets with a console and 4 speed. Light blue with a dark blue top and interior.
. Another question about this car. On the trunk tail there is the Acadian panel, sorry no pics. On that panel there are 3 holes on the upper right. Any pictures I have found show a sport deluxe badge there. Not really sure if that panel actually belongs on the car or only SD's got it.????

Wow, that IS a pretty car.

Are the wheel covers correct? They have a Nova look to them. I am trying to imagine what the Acadian caps on that car would look like.

Carl, the covers are SS. I was thinking they were from a Nova but was not sure. I have a few more pictures I will try and get up

If you have a closer shot of them, I can compare them with the ones from the 65 Nova SS parts car I bought earlier this year. At a distance that is what they look like.

At any rate, it is a nice car and I think I would look even better driving it than 03cts sport......

Interesting. No Z03 on the cowl tag and yet it appears to have the optional gauge cluster that only SD cars have.

By any chance to you happen to have a close up of the instrument cluster. The SD gauges are rare, Nova SS not so rare and they have different markings.

The gauges with the lines are Nova, the gauges with the dots are SD. Ignore the small clock in the SD cluster, it's a 65 cluster.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if the 63 Canso cluster should have a big clock like I can see in the convert. Maybe it's a Nova cluster in there.

Thanks again Carl
It looks like the gauge cluster is from a Nova. Not a big issue. We fixed up the clutch and he took it for a quick run. It drives great. It is a sweet car, it sure would have looked nice parked next to my 65 Beau

Love to see more shots of it if that ever works out.
