It's really nice. The only thing that bothers me is putting a Chevy Air Cleaner decal on it. It's not like Pontiac or Beaumont ones aren't available. cry

They would have been a better choice imo. Another nice touch would have been a Pontiac or Beaumont 396 V fender Flash too.

Sweet ride. Not bad for $26500 wonder if its an original big block car?? Not sure I like the hood but I guess if its a hotrod not a resto thats OK fine too !

No big block offered in the Acadians.

That is a great price. I will have way over that in mine when complete and just the original small block

Did you know that the chevy emblems on a 307 Ventura are correct, since the car was sold in both countries, and they did not hide, the fact that they were using chevy motors? right?

The car was built in Welland over a ten year period by Gary Young (an automotive teacher) he sold it at the RM Auction last year for similar money to what is being asked.

Nice car-the booster set-up is correct for a 69 Camaro Nova-which is kinda weirs,as the 70 Big block Nova brake booster set-up is different .I have restored several of them.

Elroy · Poncho Master!

Didn't know there were no big block Acadians. You have a nice car there too Carl and if thats all you have invested, it makes it even sweeter !

In the states, the door panel with the parchment stripe is correct for 1969 only. I think 1970 had a woodgrain stripe. I like the car very much with the bench seat 4 spd.

Whether original or not, that is one sweet piece! All these neat cars seem to be coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden! smile
