I have never seen the car in person but there is supposed to be a Cheeta in the Duncan area of Vancouver Island. Numbers guy may be able to verify this?They were made and are extremely rare!

I have a newspaper article on the Panther here somewhere. Of course you can never find it when you want it. Todd i feel your pain. It was in the wheels section a year or so ago.

Cougar had something in 69, I remember reading about it somewhere. I foget what it was called now? Old Age, maybe..

 Thats the one I was thinking 'bout...

    Hopefully you can post some pics. Looking forward to seeing it.

 The Cheetah was built at Conroy Pontiac. The manager of Conroy was Henry Carmichael, who worked for Conroy in St. Catherines in Ont.There was 46 built over the 3 years onf 66-8, 21 stayed in B.C. and the others shipped to Ont.   8 in 66 7 in 67  and 7 in 68 .  The first on was a 283 and was on display in Conroys glass garage in St. Catherines. ( Conroy was a big supplier of brake drums , roters etc to the factories around the area). Only  one was buld with a 427 which Henry Carmichael raced at Mission.I talked with Henry Carmichael in 1986 at Royal City Pontiac. I have also traveled back to Cardston Alta to talk with Les Mills who worked for Conroys  in the drum factory. These cars were given to the top salesmen in Conroys divisions. I owned a 67 for 13 years and returned (gave)it back to the second owner (first owner had traded it in on a Ford truck as he was transfered to Port Hardy by Finning) Richard has since restored it and my wife and I took it off Vancouver Island for the first time, since it was brought here, to the Sleepy Hollow  Rod Run.

Welcome haz396.  Great info. Would also love to see pictures.

Welcome - so there were two Conroy dealerships, one in St. Kitts and the other in West Van and they were owned by the same person?

I was told theres a black on black 66 Cheetah in Winnipeg, was for sale in the early 1990's for $6500 had an M22 tranny in the trunk and modified big block under the hood, sitting in a barn requiring restoration, I tried many times to track the car-no luck, but someone who lives there may have better luck, the guy who told me of the car worked at the library can't remember the name, not much to go on but hey you never know

I remember a triple black SD bigblock ht pulling into the pony coral on a sunday about 12-13 years ago.  loaded with options.  i always look back and question if it was a cheetah or not.  I was only about 18 at the time, only saw the car once.  it was nice though, not a barn car.
