newbie from Vancouver BC.

Hey everybody,

I reside in coquitlam British Columbia.

Just wanted to say hi. Picked up a numbers matching 69 442 holiday coupe August last year. Let's just say I might as well have just stolen it as I got it for a couple bills. It is all original and has 400 c inch motor..th400 tranny .


I have been slowly chipping away at it.... hooker headers and full flowmaster exhaust...i have re done the front suspension, rear suspension, front disc's are new, rear drums are new...All new brake lines. ..new shifter cable and just ripped out the original interior and am in the process of replacing it all with new seat foam, seat covers and carpet from the parts place.

Everything is functional even the push button am radio. I love this car. ....i was always looking for a 60-70's muscle car and finally found it.

Will try to get some pics up in a bit.

Thanks for the kind words. Bernhard I found the car on 49th and main area. Actually went to look at a a 1970 Lemans gto. ...needed a tonne of work. Ended up driving this beauty home instead. He also had a beautiful Buick GS as well.

What's happenin' DAWG? We're neighbors - I live in PoCo - North side. I own a media blast shop if there is anything that needs work during the ongoing mini resto. My good friend "Honest Dave" in Richmond will likely chime in too..
I'll keep my eyes open for you at A&W in Maple Ridge and here in Poco...

What are the specs for your 20s I'm trying to get a set of the same gunmetal grey for my 70. I was told that the 20x10 wouldn't work in the back.
