L79 Acadian FS
Not sure if this one has been discussed here before. I found it for sale on Kijiji. Vehicle is located near Toronto. Very odd powertrain combo- L79, 3 speed on the column and a 3.08 non posi rear! Anyone know the car? Price seems fair for the rarity..

Re: L79 Acadian FS
This car is real and probably the rarest L79 Acadian in existence. It came with only 2 options...the L79 engine and a radio. Unfortunately this car cannot be GM Canada documented as it's info is on damaged microfiche and is unreadable. However, the owner does have the POP and original owners manual showing it is an L79 and sold new at Chuck Carrick's in Tilbury, Ontario.
There were only 63 Acadian L79s built in 1966, most of them Canso Sport Deluxes. There is no breakdown from GM Canada on how many of each model were built, but probably no more than a dozen 2 door sedans. Bob (Canadian L79 Registry)

Re: L79 Acadian FS
The damaged microfiche curse happened to me too. When I checked with GM of Canada for my 87 Iroc Z, they found the page but it was barely readable. They ended up sending me what they had, free of charge. It did have enough to be able to tell it was my car, though.

They will make nice "conversation pieces" so to speak. Glad I have your approval and you even gave it without me having to ask for it............
