1961 to a couple in Prince Edward Island. They sold it to a
man in Pennsylvania in 1990. Currently under the care of
Carl Setters of Covington, Kentucky, it has still original
black paint with only minor rust at the rear of each front
fender. Only 68,000 miles and all original except for the
drivetrain, which is a 327 chevy V8 with 350 HP. |

1928 PONTIAC 370
Submitted
to us by Pete Watson of Guelph, Ontario. Originally sold
from Melvin Motors, this Canadian made Pontiac, built in
Oshawa, Ontario is all original. The L-Head inline six
puts out about 48 brake horsepower at 2,850 RPM. The only
item that has been changed are a new set of tires. Although
the paint is faded and the hood paint is very sparse, it
still looks great , and is a big hit at any show or cruise
nite . "It draws people like a magnet." says Pete,
"Its like they say Pontiac Built For Drivers." The
original owner is Mr. Orval Seeley of Iroquois, Ontario. Mr.
Seeley bought this car new and retained ownership 'til June
10, 1996. At that time a Mr. Douglas Irvine of Brinston,
Ontario was the registered owner till July 1998, at which
time the car was sold to a broker, a Mr Bill Kenney of
Kemptville, Ontario . It was September 1998 that Pete took
ownership of the car. As a point of interest there are
the remains of the original assembly log still attached to
the frame . This is a paper book with about thirty odd pages
still intact. "Should be in a Canadian Museum." |

1972 DODGE CHARGER
This
Mopar is a result of the
love and attention from Jaret Hiebert in Winnipeg, MB. It has a
383 Magnum with over 450 HP and only 31,000 original miles on the
odometer. Jaret noticed it sitting for
15 years in a driveway down the street from his home. It was
a drag racer from the 70's, had hole in the hood with 2 holley
600's sticking out with no air cleaners. He purchased it 5
years ago and has fully restored it, but has kept the modified
engine, put in a ford 9 inch and lots of other extras. The
car originally comes from Penner Dodge in Steinbach, MB, purchased
by a mountie who raced it in the 70's. Bill Tam and his brother
bought it after him and made no modifications, couldn't drive on
street so they parked it and sort of forgot about it till Jaret
came around and bought it. "The car will never be
finished to me." |
