Big Block 68 or 69 Pontiac Acadian?

[WinnipegPaul]

Hello from just north of the border in Canada. Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of or seen a 1968 or 69 Pontiac Acadian (Canadian Nova)with a Big Block. I remember seeing one at a local cruise spot here in Winnipeg from 1987 until 1989. I haven't seen it since. The old guy driving it with a younger relative of his would pull into a spot and proudly display the window sticker in the driver side rear window and wouldn't leave the cars side for too long. The car was dark blue with a big block. I can't recall any other finer details like 4 speed or auto unfortunately, other than the fact that the car was definately not for sale. I recall a few guys saying it was a 427 but it was probably a 396. I think there were 8 or so 427 Parisiennes made (Canadian Bonneville) but I don't think I have ever read about a big block Acadian. Any information on this car around? Thanks. <font color="black"> </font>

As far as I know there were no big block Acadians built. There were a few big block Parisiennes and of course the Beaumont SDs. I would love to have a 396 or 427 Acadian.

Love those Canadian Chevy powered Pontiacs! . What about 66/67 Acadian L79 cars....were these built? . My personal dream car....a 61 Strato Chief 2 Dr. Post w/ a 409/425....Oh yea!!!!

The L79 was definitely available in the Acadian. I don't think the 425 HP 409 was available in 1961, believe that was introduced in 1963
