My 70 454 had a Tonawanda valve cover sticket. I recently looked at a 68 Parisienne 396 with a survivor engine compartment. It had a small 396 valve cover sticker that was partially torn away, revealing the Tonwanda sticker.
Red lug nut inserts are correct for 1967 Rally II wheels, a feature of U.S. sourced cars.
In 1968 they did use power rear antennas. The Turquoise Canadian SS427 convertible had one, and Doug from Brantford with the Jade Gold '68 Strato Chief 427 4-speed told me that he ordered a manual rear antenna but received the car with a power rear antenna.
For the money they are asking, all of those quirky details need to be present to justify the price to the sort of buyer who would appreciate and pony up. Does anyone have a source for the "cover-up" 396 & 427 valve cover decals that hide the Chevy Tonawanda sticker?
Where are you going to find another one? You might just have to build a clone. That is where all of these big block Biscayne 2-doors are coming from.

However they put 15" wheels with PMD centre caps on a Canadian car!

True, it just seems odd why it has the switch but a manual front antenna.

Yes, the Canadian Pontiac B body assembly manuals show it and have a part number for it as well I believe.

Exactly. Just little details but on a car with this rarity and price, all this stuff really should be corrected.
Could the price be a typo?? Would 50 to 60 thou be more online with market and condition? For the asking price it would have to be a 100 point show car and 100% correctly canadian with all Canadian parts

I wouldn't be totally shocked if there's one guy out there who might be willing to pay $100K for it but to pay over $200K, wow he'd have to be willing to take a huge hit on it if he ever sold it.
