Spot the mouse I killed (right). Must have came along for the tow ride.
The trunk and rear quarters are toast (mouse nests). So far the frame looks great!

Hardly any interior here.

Mouse condos in the headliner and rear seat. Some good parts here & there.

the 350 V8 emblems would be from a '69 which have a simlar nose.  '68's would be 307, 327, 396 or 427.

Must have been a sharp car when new.

Does it indicate anywhere on the tag that it's an embassy car.
you had mentioned earlier that it did.

That car must have been driven hard down the PEI dirt roads judging by the dust in the engine bay! Or do all PEI cars end up that way eventually?

Hi Mark,

I was told that it was an Ottawa Chinese embassy car by the owner. Nothing on the tag.
I'm tempted/curious to get the GM paperwork on it.

We have some red, sandy & clay dirt roads down here. It doesn't take long to make any car red (especially a Chinese onewink).

Hi Jonathan,

It's a shame, but I'm going to part it.
Both doors are really good on it, inside & out.
Good driver's side front fender, and hood (they need a little work.
Good front bumper (just needs replating).
Lots of good upper & lower trim, especially the vinyl top trim.
Factory rear window defogger, switch, and complete wiring.
Good black front seat belts.
Good frame.
Only a 10 bolt rear endcry

Does anyone know if '67 & '68 are comparable for doors?

If the doors mount like the chev's then no, 67 and 68 different.

Darryl and Mark, just thinking, the Cuban Embassy is just a couple of km down the street from me, if they would have ordered up a new '67 Poncho with a 396 they could have called it the:   Castro Jet!

(Castro Flash with the 327)

Gotta love that!    smile

Here's one of the few things I found left in the glovebox. A 1974 Metric Canada handout used to convert (stick on & mess-up) your speedometer.no

IMG_1298.JPG

By the way, the odometer reads 5843 (105843 likely).

Yep, Batmobile Geoff! batman.gif (I'll post anything so I can use that emoticon)

what parts interchange with a impala.....i found a 68 at a wreckers her in niagara falls..

front and rear springs are new/and shocks....and front end parts...

all for 50 bucks.

it was it bad shape....the one you have is restorable..the floors and trunk pans same as a impala..

don't know where you would get quaters?

Wow, very similar to the GM Zone car I had. Same car in triple green, mine was the 335 horse 427 with cruise and power trunk over and above this option list, but minus tilt wheel, (of all things)! Otherwise, I'd say option for option the same.

Oh, mine was a 2.56 posi as well.

On an interesting note, there is an identical twin to mine in Saskatchewan, right down to the no-tilt-wheel and the owner says it was also a GM Zone car.
