I've seen Carl and Graymond post about the CanadianPoncho on Steve's Nova Site a few times... figured I'd head on over and see what was up.
My baby is a 1963 Acadian Beaumont Convertible (but dont tell my 65 Nova)... Silver on Red with a Black top. Currently powered by a six and a glide although an LS1 swap is imminent...
Stephen... Thanks! I love your wagon... one day I'd love to build an Evening Orchid Metallic 2 door wagon for the wife... I think we'd have to take up surfing though for it to the reach the full potential... and that water is COLD!
427carl... I love it too! Spent 6 months looking for a nice first gen Nova vert, and happened to find this gorgeous Acadian vert in Vancouver :)
68sd, I'd love too... I'll have to dig up the build date and what not.
Carl, Thanks... might have to take you up on that offer of 65 parts... the car is pretty much a shell in need of new quarters and framerails and whole lot of time (which I have none to spare). I also have no zero driver quality trim for it (smashed eyebrows and grill I do have!)
Welcome to the site. My 63 Acadian was silver with red when new. If Acadian interior's were reproduced, I would be tempted to return it to original color combo some day. Red interiors are very cool and not that common.

Sadly, I was just yanking your chain about spare parts to sell. I don't have much extra that I'd part with.
I know what you mean about smashed eyebrows. I have lived with a smashed pair on my SD since 1986. I finally found good ones last winter. The pair cost me $700. Of course there was a salvage wreck 65 Nova SS 283 factory air car (back half burned) attached to the eyebrows!
