Re: Info on a 'Canadian' Nova..
Certainly collectible with only 63 built (all models) in 1966, but they're a tougher sell than a comparable L79 Chevy II, especially in the U.S. United States buyers prefer the Chevy II L79 over the Canadian maple leaf adorned Acadians, even though any 1st or 2nd generation Acadian is a far rarer car then a comparable U.S. Chevy II and they can be documented by GM Canada Vintage Services.
At present, there are six 1966 L79 Acadians in the Canadian L79 Registry, all GM Canada documented. There are two sport coupes, one 2 door sedan and three Sport Deluxes. Even though they're rarer cars than Canadian produced L79 Chevy IIs (195 built in 1966), they tend to be valued only slightly higher. Buyers soon become aware that even though Acadian drivetrains are the same as Chevy II, most of the unique exterior trim pieces, emblems and interiors are not reproduced. Finding these components can be a lengthy and expensive process. The cost of a custom made 'as original' Acadian interior is huge. In addition to there being more of them, finding unique Acadian components is one of the main reasons there is a general preference for the L79 Chevy II.
