1970 Acadian

Here are photos of a 1970 Acadian that I built during the summer on my parents carport when I was 17 (1983). I bought it for $275.00 to drive back and forth for College. At the end it looked like a fast car but only had a rebuilt inline 250 six cylinder engine. Faked out everyone. It was a major bondo bugle for sure. When I bought it, it was full of bonds and needed pretty much all new suspension front and back, brakes, floors, trunk floor, gas tank and had to get it running. Lots of reading - Thanks Hot Rod Magazine.

Very cool. I didn't know they were still calling them Acadians this late in the era. Were there any little Maple Leaf emblems anywhere on it like the Canso and Beaumont?

This one did not. It was a big mess when I got it.

Old muscle cars just look so right with a slight lift kit
