Mine too, but downsizing was necessary and the timing seemed good. I miss the car but I don't regret doing it.
I emailed the buyer of my 65SD an hour ago and told him to give it a hug. Today is 50 years to the day that it was shipped from Oshawa headed for Winnipeg, 4-27-65.

He was a member here before that, actually, that is how we came to know each other and made the deal, through CP.
He did put a stereo in it. When I practically yelled at him in an email (well, not really but he could tell I was cringing!) he assured me he had cut nothing up to do it. Other than that, he apparently has done nothing else to it other than have the Muncie rebuilt and the front end aligned. I had warned him that the front end was not aligned and he said it drives nice now. Also told him about the weird problem that it shifted up into 2nd fine but you could not shift down into 2nd without first trying to shift down to first, then into second. He said it had a broken syncro in it.
I hope to go to the Yukon to visit him and the car some day! I agree, I think the 65 Acadians are one of the best looking Acadians ever.
