I think I know.    Lets just say I really wanted the car a few years ago while it was still in Calgary, but it found it's way to Saskatchewan.   I recently heard it changed hands, still in Saskatchewan, and lets just say it's with someone we know.

I know this car, It was bought from the originals owners son a few years back.  It is an Alberta car. was bought new in Lethbrige from Enerson Motors Ltd.  The car is numbers matching with a LS4 one of 36 built with that motor.

Top end car back in 1970, would have been a sharp looking car in that colour in its day. Don't drive it anywhere near Morris MB wink

 (lol) You guys!!! Yes Pascal, I was going to ask you out and take a look at it but you were so caught up in finding Roger, I forgot!!! But I did almost make Roger spill his coffee's!!!!  Sorry Rog!

  I guess with the way the car sits, it is an original unrestored treasure... What you see is what you get.. I would love to have them all done but it is nice to have bragging rights in this situation too! But I am a sort of rough around the edges type guy who drives the cars in the same sort of light! Love to some day.....

 On the way to Regina, we we doing anywhere from 75-90 (kph) all the way... Just "sailing" along!!!

 Hey Vince, that would almost be a boring trip compared to the one you told us about from the west coast.  Glad you got another interesting one.

If I recall, when I looked at it the tailgate was banged in, has that been fixed?  There was also some right rear damage as well, as I had the Safari Estate emblem it needed.    I remember Ken (Cheviac) saying he had some of the parts the car needed.
