Head Count.. where is Stevenson.. I have no doubt he's trying to convince the owner to do one last drive that conveniently goes through Morris MB... LoL!!
So if it isn't stolen why doesn't it have a trunk key lock instead of a trunk screwdriver lock? Also the American Pontiac style tilt stalks and the aftermarket tach (and the butcher style mount.) Beware of this one. However for 12,500 it may be worth it if the rivets on the firewall tag are at least real.

.....I seen that too but maybe he just didn't have time to stick it or the scripts back on. He has a nice set of hub caps for sale too, $100 , maybe he'll throw it all in. Can't build a car like that for that money.....good deal.
Floors look good. Where's all the chrome trim?
Body looks a little wavy? Hard to tell from pic's, but when the lower body trim is missing it brings back memories of Bondo to me!
With floors that nice and being a local BC car it should be solid???
My 66 Parisienne CS was totally rotted and bondo'ed at least 2-3 times by '73. It was an East Coast winter driven,salt eaten chunk 'o rust that buddy took the 396 for a Chevelle and put a wheezing 283 in its place.
I was 17 and loved that old slug. Those big bucket seats,console, and the dash were like my 2nd home. Patched the floor with tin,tar & rivets.
I kept the side chrome on with sheet metal screws but it still kept comin loose. But they didn't look right without the chrome then...., and still don't. To me anyways.
eeluddy, the side trim is on, look closer at it. I only see the scripts missing and appears the wheel well moldings are off too, but I bet he has it all and just never put it on after the paint job ( maybe ? )

Yeah I do see the thin single strip now. But without the rest it looks off. Take a look at the rear quarter bottoms and front fender bottom. Doesn't look right to me? Maybe I'm too fussy, after all it's not out of line in price. Rear skirts?
does anyone have a factory picture to post and compare? Was it only the US Grand Prix that had full stainless trim ala 65's?
I think you are right about the qtrs. It looks like they used the Classic 2 Current repair panels on both of the qtrs. The rear area of the wheel opening should be more of a point so that the fender skirts would fit in there same with the rear wheel opening trim. You can see the front has the wheel opening trim, but not the rear. Still might be worth the money, but one should make sure to check it out close prior to purchase.

....only the american GP had full width ribbed rocker moldings, the canadian only had the thin one as in the pic above. It had skirts from factory too . It's only missing the scripts off the truck lid, front and rear fender sides which I can see some holes so he probably has them, trunk lock and I can't really see the front well moldings either. Car looks good I think.
with some bigger tires, to get rid of "low rider" look and its a deal
