Dion, Randy Issac from Maple Ridge BC used to run a yellow 68 or 69 Acadian in G or H/SA a number of years ago. He ended up selling to a US racer, I beleive it went to the Gaynor family , and I seem to recall that they left all the Acadian trim on the car, which must have been a bit of a head scratcher to some stateside Chevy guys! Since the Acadians used the same Chevy engines as a US Chevy 11, I imagine running the car as an Acadian wouldn`t be a huge issue. Now, if you tried running something like a 64 Pontiac Strato Chief with a 409,or a 66 Grand Parisianne Sport with a 427, or a 68 Beaumont SD396, THEN you might have some trouble!

Most call us nuts for doing this stuff anyway. Keep up the progress and my vote is for the third pedal in the car.. I hope you dont loose focus as your Hockey is back on....Winter greetings from down south..

I think it went to someone in Div. 3 or 4.

A toddler in 1978? Dang! Must be nice!

Hmmm I guess I better make some phone calls and see if the Acadian trim....which is all it really is would be allowed. It sure would be cool to run the car that way...and easier all around instead of changing alot of expensive stuff. I remember seeing the Acadians and Beaumonts singled out in the rule book, my memory might be fading....haha

That would be too cool to see an Acadian in stock trim!
