It's not just because it's the only non Chevy (!!!) but the Acadian needs to have a story told about it please!

OK Carl, here it is.

I got the Acadian from my Dad's cousin. It was his first car. It seems his neighbor was salesman at Towne Pontiac and when Al got a job at MTS in 1970, the neighbor decided Al needed a car and brought this one home for him, a fresh trade in from  a little old lady. Al owned it ever since. He stopped driving it around 81 or so. About 8 years ago he and his boys decided they would "fix it up", they got as far as taking it apart and it has sat since then. When I heard he finally decided to sell it I had to have it, as this car is why I've always loved these Acadians/Novas of 66/67. Many memories as a kid riding around with cousin Al.
He also built a white one back in the day to run at Keystone/Bison dragways, Fuelie 283 Powerglide don't remember what class he wanted to run but NHRA wouldn't let him because they had no listing for an Acadian, make it a Nova or go bracket racing they said.
So this one stays in the family, will make a good first car for my daughter, she's 5 now so I should have a couple of years to enjoy it before handing over the keys.
