While we're on the subject of 427/425 Biscaynes, heres a shot of one of our local cars from 1966. The owner is Jack Hyde from Stratford Ontario and yes the car was green, hence the name.Jack just recently built a replica of this car. ............Bill

I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. The ad from 1967 is for London Motor Products who were our local high performance Pontiac/Buick dealer here in London Ontario. As you can see, the Firebird was running right on the national record and if you look closely you'll notice the license plate on the front of the car. This bird was driven to and from the track!! Quite a difference from today's race cars. Also, you'll notice the line up for 67; Beaumont SD, Buick GS, Firebird, Pontiac 427 and Acadian SS. This was our Canadian high performance offering for Pontiac/Buick in 67. THE GOOD OLD DAYS. ...........Bill

All right! Keep that cool stuff coming. Something tells me we need to see a certain dentist's collection.

Bring it on...any more you can! .
All great this Canadian stuff...not just our beer is better!!! .

Regarding the posting a few above, I've never known of any L72's available for '67 as a Chevy or Canadian Poncho...never say never though? .

Here is a photo of the green 69 Biscayne out of Brantford Ontario which is owned by a friends of mine Don and Connie. Don is a founding member of a local car club called the "Piston Pushers".He is the original owner of the car which was bought new in Hamilton. The first modification he made was to swap the 427 badges for 327 badges. The car was a real money maker on the streets of Toronto back in the day. One night Don was arrested for street racing and spent the night in jail. When I first heard this story, Connie was standing quietly beside him. When she saw the surprised look on my face she said "Its a true story. I was his girlfriend at the time and I was the one who made his bail". What do you do when you find a good woman like that? Marry her of course.
