It came that way previous owner did that but didn't put the right cam to match the heads.

Thank you for the info, I had no idea where to start. Can't thank you enough!!! Very cool. The car has to be painted because of about 5 rust spots and the paint is faded pretty bad. She looks great from twenty feet LOL

My wife's from Courtney that's how I ran into it. I always new that going to a micro brewery was better than white water rafting LOL had I not gone to the brewery I would have never looked for it. I asked one of the guys at the brewery and they said it was still there but didn't know exactly where it was so I started driving around and found it in 45 min! Wish I could have bought it 2 years ago when it just got kicked out of its garage space for a used caddy. The owners daughter did say she wasn't ready to sell it till I knocked on the door and by then she realized it would rot out sitting outside. In 2 years the car went from a 3 to a 5. That constant rain just eats the paint and bod. The car is super straight and in amazing shape underneath. 5 rust spots and that's it!!Even the Canadians don't want to stay in Canada and wind up in Florida this time of year

I was thinking of restoring it in Courtney so I would not have to rent a car when we visit the family twice a year. But then I found out what it was and couldn't resist not using it more often and taking it to shows.Even the Canadians don't want to stay in Canada and wind up in Florida this time of year

This is a great story, and proof that decent finds are still out there, thanks, and please keep posting!
Cheap clear coat will do that in the sun pretty quick...seems like the paint has aged quite fast, if bottom pictures are of 2012

It's Not Going to Shift Itself
The car was registered in Alberta at one time. This photo is in the 15900 block of Stony Plain Rd, Edmonton, prior to July 2014. The deli changed names then.

everybody moves to BC and its all fun and games at the start....then reality sets in...vehicles...relationships and family's are generally part of the fallout...if you go to BC bring cash or your own job......

Unfortunately it sat outside for two years on the Island in the constant rain which destroyed the paint quickly and caused some rust. It wasn't for sale till I knocked on the door so the timing was good for me but not for the car. Been driving it around and it needs a bigger cam to keep up with the heads intake and carb. Also going to 354's to give it a little more get up and Go. They did a great job on the rebuild but picked the wrong cam. I wonder what the car would be worth finished to perfection ? which I intend to do, hard to gauge their are none for sale. I would think that they would be up there with the Road Runners and GTX but maybe not. Sure is a cool looking car!!!

BC rains almost everyday but sunny days there are beautiful but far rare.
