The one on the forums here is the glacier blue 69.

The 70 is unlisted at this point.

Neither are numbers matching which is ok.

Damn! Now that's a neat project car! They were made for the 50th anniversary of Pontiac Motor Division. Very rare piece to be a 455 with a stick. Here's a little info on them:

How about the 1969 SS396 L89 El Camino project in the cars for sale section on this site. That sounds like a project worthy of your time to check out.

I am a bit of a muscle car optimist :-)

Take your time, narrow your scope to one specific car of a one-two- or three year window and study hard. If you look deep inside you will have one car you love more than the rest!!

You have your family finances in order you are way ahead of lots of posers who blah blah rare rare rare and have no car:-(

Hone in on a specific car and talk to the most experienced guys on here that know about that car, for example a Nova is some kind of star to me:-)

As I mentioned I am an optimist and feel advice is great but it should always come with suggestion to steer towards the goal.

My advice, is to only considers buying a car from Canada, nobody else here will be able to offer you advice that will save you 33% 1/3 off if you can believe it, and we have been importing Southern US cars for decades, you may buy a U.S. car and bring it home for 2/3's of the cost of the same car locally:-)

Your 15,000 USD today is worth 19,107.36 CAD

I know American guys who have recently bought Canadian cars and paid transportation but very little else........ (We pay huge:-(

Ryan, I think there is a trend towards our Canadian friends advertising their vehicles in USD rather than the Canadian Dollar. I had the same thought as you when I was looking for a Chevelle a year or so ago, as the Australian dollar was about on par with you guys, and thought I may be able to get better value for money at parity but wasn't able to find something in Canadian dollars that was what I was looking for. The couple of cars I enquired about wanted to be paid the USD amount which I couldn't justify, so I ended up buying something out of Vegas. Perhaps I was looking in the wrong places or didn't look hard enough! Best of luck to the OP. Hopefully he can find something that suits in his budget.

Welcome to the site. Keep in mind a whole lot of the fun is &quot;in the hunt&quot;. Enjoy your search and be patient.

Hi, For a 69 Z/28 you may get a hull &amp; the trim tag &amp; Vin but will need substantial sheet metal work....I think I would save up &amp; get a &quot;good project &quot; to start with ..... Rather than have a Z/28 with every panel replaced ...Enjoy the hunt ....

The only Canadian cars that 'might' be advertised in Canadian dollars are local sales. Almost everything on the Internet has been in US dollars for the past 15 years...
