I have found a older gentleman who wants to sell his 66 Acadian Sd, and I am going to go see it. Just wondering how you can tell if a Acadian is a L79 or not without imediate documentation from GM. Is there any clues other than the motor itself which may or may not have the decals on it?
Thanks Carl a list would be helpful. You never know he has had the car for many years and have not seen him with it at any shows,or cruz in . Thanks Ted
Is the L79 Air Cleaner there w/ opposite pointing snorkles?. Does it have a 12 Bolt...if so, check the axle code!. There's other possibilities but the stamped 66-L79 Suffix Code should be 'Z1'.. Being a Canadian car, look at the Cowl tag for clues...just in case!?
Click the below links for a couple o' past threads here...
If what you see looks real, TELL NO-ONE, make sure to bring home the Vin and get in touch w/ George at GM Canada Vintage Services, pay extra for the 'quick-service' documments and if all's good, QUICKLY GO BUY THE CAR!!!
If you need more info, get ahold of Bob in BC who has the L79 Registry.. I don't have any contact info handy but he's a great guy and a wealth of L79 knowledge especially concerning the Canadian cars!.
Good luck!!!
