Default Re: 305 Canadian block ?

There were 3 versions of the Iraquabu. ( I sold 114 of them). The base
models were 4 dr. 3 speed manual transmission, these were destined
for the soldiers. The next level were 4 dr. Automatic trans. These were
for the Sargeants. The top levels were the station wagons with
auto. trans. These were for the Generals. There were 9886 of them
on the docks in Halifax, and GM never got paid for them, so they
tried one wave of them on willing Dealers. We sold out in 3 days.
Never saw the cars at that point, took deposits in person or on the
phone with no gaurantee of color choice.The colors were light blue,
a weak gold color, a weaker yellow, and a nice metallic red. All the
ones we got were 305's with A/C. They were 1981's and were sold
in 1982. Prices on wave 1 were 5995, 6195 A.T. 6495 SW AT. On the second wave GM charged us 200.00 more so the prices went up 200.00. J.R.
