Oops, as I read that I remember his SD is a 66 car. Sorry for the false alarm!!!

Blame it on, ummmm, ummmm,.......... terrorists, yeah, that's it, terrorists.....

Very impressive. I hope you are buying it!

Going for a drive in the next day or so...

I know this is a bit of a personal thing and a car is only worth what someone is willing to spend on it but.... I would like to know what some of you guys think  this car might be worth...here is a description..

1967 Acadian Canso Sport Deluxe 6 cylinder hardtop. Originally Silverglaze metallic with red bucket interior.

Powertrain... solid 383 withdouble hump heads, performer intake, holley carb, hooker headers, dual exhaust with dynomax mufflers. Built by reputable engine builder. Powerglide with stall and shift kit. 10 bolt posi w 4:10 gears. Certainly not a highway car with this setup..lol  Lots of snap and appears to have no issues. New aluminum rad. Glide likes to be shifted manually as it waits too long to shift...only complaint there.

Body... Originally silver now painted black. 10-15 year old paint. Driver quality paint with a couple healthy chips, a couple small but hard to notice runs, looks like a spot hit with an egg with many minute chips. Body work is fair considering it's black. A couple sand marks and more work was needed on doors and fenders to make perfectly straight. Looks to have all original sheet metal with pinch welds and factory stamped #'s on the quarters. Chrome is driver quality. Nees a new front bumper, rear is ok. Mirrors could be chromed. Window trim is good. Trunk trim has a ding or two and some pitting. Rocker trim has some rash. Inside trunk could use paint. Looks solid underneath except one floor brace on passenger side has rotted away and a hole in support toward the outer mount. Needs a new support and some weld repair. Glass is original and in great shape except for a bruise and 6 inch crack in windshield.

Interior looks to be all original and quite good considering the age. Driver seat seam pulling aprt, crack in dash, one, one inch rip in headliner, need new package tray, kick panels need dye. Carpet is ok. Arm rest chrome needs to be redone and door panels are ok. Gauges all work along with heater. Has autometer tach and heat and oil pressure gauge. Console in great shape, very little pitting needs dye. Seat backs need some dye.

Brakes and front end are rebuilt with dual master cylinder and new lines.

Good rear tires and very decent Cragar SS wheels. Could use a new set of front tires.

Basically a VERY presentable 67 that could be driven a made very nice over time and of course with some money. Your opinions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

It certainly sounds like a great car. I think you need to know how you want to approach it.

If you are looking for a car to restore completely, it could be expensive as it's likely a full resto by the sound of it but a great candidate.

As a driver, it may be a lot more affordable. Some guys have to have a perfect car. Some are happy with a lot less. Which one are you?

My estimate on price would be $8500 for the car without engine and then around $12,000 with the engine and trans combo.
The market seems quite weak when it comes to cars that are not fully restored. It is a rare car and I would guess that if it was a completed restoration, it might be worth about $25 -$30,000. If it said Nova SS on it, well that's another story.....

18 IS A LOT
