Gateway Classic Cars is proud to present this rare 1 of 370 built
1967 Acadian Canso Deluxe in our Louisville KY showroom. This is a
tasty example of the Nova's badge-engineered Canadian cousin, a '67
Acadian Canso. Acadians were marketed by Pontiac dealers in Canada.
Technically, they were not Pontiacs but a separate brand, though
they shared some styling cues with Pontiacs of the era, for example
the bifurcated grille. Acadians were never terribly common even
north of the border, their annual production running in the
piddling low thousands or even less. The brand existed for only a
few years-from 1962 to 1971, when GM of Canada pulled the plug.
After that, Pontiac-badged Nova's were sold under the Ventura II
name, just as they were in the USA. The current owner purchased
this beauty out of Red Deer Alberta Canada in 2007 and has only
needed to maintain it. Being a bit of a Nova fanatic, he was drawn
to the unique styling and rarity of this show piece. Completely
restored from the ground up, the deep candy apple red paint just
gleams. Under the hood, the original 283 has been upgraded to a 327
with L79 specs and dressed out with tons of chrome. Even the
underside of the Acadian sports more chrome and stainless, which is
why this car sows so well at shows. The rest of the drivetrain
includes a Muncie 4-speed and a 12 bolt posi-traction rear end
loaded with 3.42 gears. Not only does this Acadian look great, it's
got a little muscle to back it up. Inside the Acadian, the interior
from the carpet, the bucket seats, console, dash and headliner
still looks fresh as if the Acadian was just assembled together
yesterday. The only addition has been a set of gauges under the
dash and a tachometer on the column. If you are looking for rare
piece of automotive history, give us a call before another
Nova/Acadian fanatic scoops this beauty up! Options for this 1967
Acadian Canso Sport Deluxe include; AM radio, Power Steering, Seat
