The write up isn't that bad, He tried he best to descdribe the uniqueness of the car and he got most of the general parameters correct. Being "experts" it is easy to criticize. We should be happy that Americans are finally recognizing these cars. He might appreciate a little positive feedback and correction of his minor errors.

This is a rare muscle car from our friends from the north. This is a 1965 Acadian Beaumont. These are very rare cars. It was produced in Ontario Canada where you can still obtain the original build sheet for 50.00. Something you can not do in the states. These cars were made with 3 trim levels. Custom, Super Deluxe, and the L79 series. If you own any of them you do in fact have a piece of history. This vehicle came with a straight 6, but was given a little more horsepower by dropping in a straight 8 283. It runs and drives very nice. One out of 265 from what I can tell from the canadian poncho board. It was the lowest production year of the Beaumont. In later years they dropped Acadian and just used Beaumont just like Chevrolet did with the Malibu Chevelle dropping Malibu years later.
It was built on the chevelle frame, but her grill and instrument panel resemble the Pontiac Tempest. It truly is a unique ride. When we took it to a few car shows this past summer people had no idea what the hell it was. Chevelle? Pontiac?.. Left many people scratching their heads as they walked around it and commented on its uniqueness. It was fun to watch, and participate in. Just so you know the letters in the back that spell Acadian 100.00 a piece so don't loose them!!! That's if you could find them. You have no where to do to get replica's because no one makes them. The badges on the front cost me 400.00. 200.00 per side because you need to find originals. Bought them from Tinman out of Canada who picked them up at a swap meet. He told me he has been crushing these cars for years, and original parts are getting harder to find.
I will tell you that the doors will need to be adjusted. Their is also a lose wire coming off the starter that I haven't fixed. It fires up and runs without any problem. We have taken it on many Sunday drives. It has been garaged kept, and has been recently painted this past spring (2011). We hate to have to sell it, but do to some economic restraints on our family it has left us no choice. Anyway we would appreciate any bids and we do have additional pictures. You can e-mail us at m.wozniak@live.com. Thank you for viewing and have a great holiday season.

Still can't see where this car is located? I have seen it for sale before.
Anyone else catch the part about the doors needing adjustment. I'm sorry, but I cannot buy a convertible with doors that don't close properly. It is one of the first signs of a sagging frame.
Maybe I've just seen too many unibody convertibles that have that problem. Also, I've come across many a classic car owner that was under the impression doors could be easily adjusted. I would take a look at the striker to see if it was worn flat on the top, could be bad hinge pins?
