absolutely beautiful car!!

Wow! I can see why you say that you are "reluctantly" offering it for sale. You have been together for 44 years. I love the originality on that car. Purist's delight!

with out a doubt, a great deal

Exactly,

I've been applying for jobs here in the Edmonton area since October with no real luck...

 I said this before......."the grass is always greener on the other side, til you get to the other side and see what makes it look so green."

 Now you are talking about British Columbia!

This is why the Maritimes are the country's best kept secret.  Everybody moves west for jobs to make big money in an overinflated economy... but all the smart ones move east.

I thnk you meant second best! Manitoba's nice stable economy (not booming, but stable) and the fact that everyone thinks it's just awful living where we have winter makes it the best kept secret. I love the fact that few people actually want to move here!!!

If I had to leave here it would be Maritimes though, you are correct.

 Can't argue with you there, Carl, as I've never been to Manitoba (thereby proving your point!).... hmmm... maybe I'll have to hitch a ride with Johnnee when he visits! 

Have to admit I'm a little biased when it comes to the east coast!

You'll have to come alone from the Manitoba border though, Johnnee isn't allowed in Manitoba.

It's a nice looking car in a seldom seen colour, at least here in the east.
Let's say you found a ratty one for $7500.
Could you restore it to measure up to this car for $32500?
A lot of forum members can do the basic labour, except maybe for the finishing and paint.
So how many hours, and how much is your time worth?
So far this is all just assumption because first you have to find a SD 396 with a 4 speed and matching #'s for $7500 that needs a resto.
This car is out of my price range sadly. As I'm one of the guys who beat these cars into the ground back in the 70's and let them rust away without a thought. Now I'm jealous of the guys who took care of them!

if we get every member to send in $10 we can buy it for you Todd

Agreed, restoring that car for less would be a challenge to say the least!
