Cannot include Acadians or Beaumonts due to some of the the wording in the ad.

"Distinctive over-and-under headlights" Won't find that on Acadians or Beaumonts.

"Perimiter frame. Full coil suspension" Not describing Acadians here...

Who knows what they meant but there is no way there are 54 B bodies.

The wording does say:

There are 52 other Pontiac models to choose from. And these are some of the standard features you'll find on every one of them.

Other means not the ones pictured. Some means not all. confuse

I have not done any actual work on the car yet, so not much to see. I have some other things to eat a lot of my time this winter, although I have spent a fair bit of time locating and preparing pieces to install/change on the car.  Tonight I was working on a wiring harness for when I put the power windows and vents in. Key word in the last sentence is "was". My 5 dollar Harbour Freight soldering gun puked. I won't be cheaping out on my next soldering gun.

Plenty of new pieces acquired since I bought it. Numerous additional options to satisfy my case of optionitus.

I got a nice little bonus last night. On the weekend, one of the people (niece of the original owner) who I had a lot of my dealings with when I got this car, contacted me and asked if I was still interested in a copy of the original bill of sale for the car.... No brainer!

I was in Winnipeg last night so I stopped in and picked it up. She was so nice, so willing to go out of her way to get this done for me. It's cool to see the family take an interest in the car and want to help me out with my project even though they have nothing to do with it any more.

Nice piece of documenation to go with the car Carl. I am shocked at the list price.

According to an online inflation calculator $4680 in 1966 dollars is $31903 in today's dollars. That's about right for an average new car.

Yes, the trade was a wagon.

As you've likely seen, I deleted parts of the senstive personal information on the invoice, name, Address, VIN, key codes etc.
