 Oh great, rub it in!!!

Awesome Carl! It was getting harder and harder to keep the secret! I'm sure it's no coincidence that you got this GP on the same date as your first one!

 It's absolutely amazing how this worked out.

The other night I sat down at the computer and was planning to email Jeremy and tell him I'd buy his black 67 Canso SD for 10K.  (I think that car was a steal.)

I think that was Thursday night. I decided that since our son was happier with the 67 Nova, I'd have to keep on waiting for the right 66 GP. I had searched Kijiji once again that night to no avail. Late that night, Beaumont4008 sent me a note saying to check Kijiji, there was a 66 GP on there! The ad had no email address, no phone number so my only hope was to email through Kijiji and wait for a reply.  Waited, waited, no reply, no reply, kept emailing, searched sellers other items for sale, found one of the ads that had a facebook contact, signed into Facebook (into my account I had created and logged into TWICE in my life!), waited, waited and finally got an email Saturday! Got a number, called, didn't suit seller to show it Saturday and I couldn't go Sunday! Twisted his arm hard until he relented and said I could go look at it out in the country where it was stored and his daughter could let me see it.  Wanted the car, seller was not available until Sunday afternoon!!!

Patience my aching butt Vince, I was annoying and persistent!!!

Thanks Ray. When I looked outside tonight on the trailer, it all just looked totally normal to see a 66 GP on my yard. Those cars were a big part of me from 75 to 90 and I have missed having a classic "boat" as the rest of my family describes it.

Good score carl. all good things come to those that wait

way to go Carl !!! nice nice car and so close to your original one, great score !

Haha, yeah, a few of you figured it out I'm afraid!!

From your neighbourhood too Dan!

Hey, know anyone with a 3rd pedal for a 65 or 66 B body Dan?

None in stock at the moment, but if I find 2 sets you can have 1.

Oh and you must have been excited to finally post this, you're in the wrong forum,

Good score carl appears to be in fairly solid cond.???Hows frame floors trunck etc???MB. Car???

 Haven't found any frame rust so far. From what I can see, the floors are good too. I think the trunk may have had a repair by each tub (common) but looks like if it was, small repair and well done.

Oh, I forgot to mention a cool thing about it. It was sold new at Winnipeg Motor Products, same place my 65 Acadian came from.

The original owner passed away last year. He had signed the ownership over to his brother who in turned signed it over to his (brother's) son. So, if you followed that, I got it from the nephew of the original owner. The whole family knows the history of the car since new.

The widow apparently has all the original paperwork from the purchase.I asked about it but they are not sure she would be willing to give it up. I asked if I could at least get a copy of it but told them I understand if they don't want to do that. It sure would be cool to get it all though.

The nephew told me he thinks the original bill of sale is framed and hanging on the wall in his aunt's house!

Uh-huh, I think so. I just happen to have one that has been waiting for this car to come along.

It's from a parted out 4 door Candian Pontiac.

AND I DIDN'T EVEN DO IT!!!!!
