1978 Pontiac Acadian-Clean Little Cruise Night Car

That's not funny.

That is a Pontiac Acadian.

We all have "Acadians"!!!

Only the name is the same!

I laughed when I read MC's steering wheel offset thing as we had a few T-cars, mine were both Chevettes but my Dad had a couple o' Acadians too..
Yes I welded door bottoms in a few also floors and the infamous front shock mountings but other than that and a few other things they were pretty cheap reliable wheels!.
I remember one Sunday evening and I was about 50 miles from home when the engine quit and I coasted to the side of the road..
Trying to start it again it was barking out the carb so obviously the timing off and peeling the front cover off I saw the belt was actually Ok but had stretched w/ age and was too loose to drive the cam without slipping..
Luckily I had a roll of electrical tape on hand to wind around the tensioner pully to increase its size and take up the slack...back on w/ the belt and I was on the road again!.
I ran it that way for two or three weeks until I put a new belt on!.

Being a Vauxhall/Opel lover I always wanted one of their versions but again too many wants and not enough time...or $!.

alot better looking than the sh*tvette !!!!!?

when I was a kid my aunt had one, I challenged her to a race down the block with my remote controlled truck. My little 7.2 volt truck won by two houses!

Those things were awsome, no $ $$ to buy, always ran.

I had one paid $500 for drove it to work and back for 2 years never put a dime it and sold it for $200. I think that's pretty cheap transportation.

We got a yellow one as a courtesy car when the Pontiac was in for warranty work. We took it to the cottage. No Kidding the pedal went to the floor and we belted up HWY 400 in the left lane. Made just under 140 with a full load. Must have been hard on that thing though full throttle for two hours.
