My order of preference:

-L79 Canso
-Beaumont SD
-409 Wagon
-Nova wagon

Also, somebody should tell the seller that the Canso wasn't "exported" to Canada!

Nice looking Canso. That is my favorite year.
 Did anyone else notice that this car still has an Ontario front plate. I wonder if this guy just bought these cars or is selling them for other people? His feedback rating is zero. I would be a little hesitant on buying any car from someone with no rating.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about his feedback. I hadn't noticed the Ontario plate, but that landscape definitely isn't Ontario!

For sure there is a lot of investigation needed before buying from a seller with no feedback reading, especially when buying high dollar valued items. The cars are certainly nice however. Suppose there was a time when Wayne Gretzky had ZERO goals.

Still I have to wonder how you make any money buying a car in Ontario, taking it to Colorado and then offering it for sale?

Some people don't know how to deal with the border and would prefer not to do it. I have seen cars listed on ebay from a seller in Canada and the car is in the US.

That car has been in the USA for over 10 years. I had a chance to buy it for $25,000 off the owner listed in the GM Documentation (John Holmes, easy name to remember!biggrin). Didn't have the cash and the exchange back then really killed the deal. I had the opportunity to buy 3 L79's but family budget never made it a reality (I would have owned them all if it weren't for those medalsome kids!biggrin ).
I never knew where it ended up until now. I hear he wants up over $60,000 for it.

I saw on another site where a member had phoned the owner and he said he has the original heads.

        I was going to mention, that it seems silly, to see cars,that owners want 60 k for, in a auction, with people to trying to grab it at 10k.  BUT I looked at the Nova/Acadian ad and saw it over 50,000.00   Wow...

Just curious, anyone know the production numbers for 66 L79 Cansos? Lusted terribly for one when I was a teenager. They were stinkin FAST! Looks like the average schmuck couldnt afford one now.

I've seen 144 total L-79 Nova Acadian combined for canadian production (it's on the build sheet of the auction car). I've heard Acadian was 63 of that.
