Hello, I have a 66 Acadian that I just bought and am going to restore, I would like to get some feedback as to where the best sites/places to buy parts. Appreciate any help
Welcome to the site from the Okanagan. Are you looking for used parts or for new stuff? Can always put a request in the parts wanted section here as there are a few guys with parts here and there is a fellow by the name of Menno in BC that has quite a few parts available. I can get you his number if you would like it.
Seeing that you are in Canada, a great place to start is our sponsor, NOS Reproductions. You will see there link at the top of this page.
I speak from experience when I say I have never dealt with a restoration company with such great customer service, and I know others will echo this. Plus they are Canadian AND they sponsor our great site!

Thanks for the welcome and the info, I am definitely going to check the link out. First choice would be giving the business to the sponser, and it is good to get positive feedback I have not dealt with a restoration company myself either.
If looking for non reproduced parts "Tin Man" on the Island would be a good start. www.tinmanauto.com/ Looks to be complete, do you have orig interior?

I wonder if we didn't have it on here in the early spring or so, maybe northern BC, and then was quickly put up for sale again. Not positive but it was also yellow.
It was on kijiji for a little bit, and than was taken off, my friend bought it 30 years ago, sold it to his friend, his friend sold it lost track of it, my friend found it again a few years ago and sold it to me. That car has had quite a journey. From what we know it has been parked in garage for the last 25 years.
