Got myself something pretty... A 1963 Acadian Beaumont Convertible... 1 of 2029 built. Fully documented 8-10 year old resto... 194ci L6, Powerglide Manual everything... brakes, steering, top... 5 Lug Pontiac Ralleys. http://stampflee.com/acadianvert.jpg http://stampflee.com/acadian/prevowner/Dash.jpg http://stampflee.com/acadian/prevowner/Driverseat.jpg http://stampflee.com/acadian/prevowner/Engine.jpg http://stampflee.com/acadian/prevowner/Rightside.jpg http://stampflee.com/acadian/prevown...0down%20-b.jpg http://stampflee.com/acadian/prevowner/Trunk.jpg It ran like a top once the transmission is warmed up, and did nearly 17mpg crusing at 60-65. Just a few small things need to be addressed: - Gas pedal has gone AWOL... the little nub doesn't feel very weird though. - Trunk needs a little adjusting. - Gas gauge doesn't work. - Ugly rubber floor mats. - Glove box key cylinder is hooped. - Driver side turn signal chrome trim is broken. - Cluster hosing needs to be rechromed, it's rattle canned silver at the moment. Not sure what's correct, but I think it should be chrome. - Front seat needs new foam, possibly new springs. Both front and rear benches are getting new vinyl, probably the typical Nova stuff. - Missing cigarette lighter, I hope I have one in my 65 and it's the same as the Acadian version. Of course, it needs an LS1/4L60e and a new front clip. The stock Nova suspension leaves a little to be desired. |
minty fresh, looks good, would have been nice to have a sb in there but forsure that gas guage would have to get fixed. awsome catch overal |
sweet dude! this gonna put the nova on the backburner for a bit longer? |

Nice score Owen. I'm guessing those 13's will be going in storage and something a little shinier and lower profile rubber will be going on eh? Congrats. EDIT: Oops, already nice wheels on in the first pics. :embarassed: |
Hahaha... as much the Pontiac Ralleys have grown on me... they wont even clear 11" brakes and I'm planning on ordering the front clip with 12" brakes. I'll end up getting these: http://www.cragar.com/ProductView.as...2&bq=%3fc%3d15 or these: http://coyswheel.com/coys-c67.html in machined or bare if Coys can make me a set in 17x7. |
I vote the Cragars. Check out American Racing and American Eagle too, I think they make a Cragar style wheel too. |
not my cup of tea at all but looks minty fresh |
You mean it's not a cobbled together Toyota? :D |
ummmm just like the cav |
