Here's something you don't see everyday....

Only 63 Acadian L79's (all models) were built, so this is very rare. Unfortunately, it's missing some trim pieces...hood spear, Acadian hood script, has incorrect front fender louvres, etc. Also, the rally wheels are not correct, but try and find some original 1966 Acadian SD spinner wheel covers! None of these pieces are reproduced, so finding them could be a lifelong pursuit. The current owner says it has the original drivetrain. It does have the original and unique 1966 Acadian SD upholstery, which is a real plus, because it's not reproduced either. This car is worth at least $50,000, but he can't seem to get it. It's been for sale since early this year.

Thanks for the details.I figured something looked odd on the hood.
The fenders louvers look out of place,any pictures of what the right ones are supposed to look like?

Here's one of the local cars.

Louvers look alot better in that placement...

The white Canso in the pic is a 1967. The 66 L79 being discussed here has the louvres in the right place, just not the correct ones. I'll try to come up with a pic of an original 66 Canso SD. Also, just noticed it has the Acadian name plate on the wrong side of the trunk. Should be on the right side.

I kinda wondered when I posted it if it was a 66 or 67. I have all the sales literature stored somewhere. I'll have to dig it out.
