While we're on the subject of 427/425 Biscaynes, heres a shot of one of our local cars from 1966. The owner is Jack Hyde from Stratford Ontario and yes the car was green, hence the name.Jack just recently built a replica of this car. ............Bill

I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. The ad from 1967 is for London Motor Products who were our local high performance Pontiac/Buick dealer here in London Ontario. As you can see, the Firebird was running right on the national record and if you look closely you'll notice the license plate on the front of the car. This bird was driven to and from the track!! Quite a difference from today's race cars. Also, you'll notice the line up for 67; Beaumont SD, Buick GS, Firebird, Pontiac 427 and Acadian SS. This was our Canadian high performance offering for Pontiac/Buick in 67. THE GOOD OLD DAYS. ...........Bill

Ahhh, back in the day when Stock/Eliminator cars were still mostly stock!

All right! Keep that cool stuff coming. Something tells me we need to see a certain dentist's collection.

Bring it on...any more you can! .
All great this Canadian stuff...not just our beer is better!!! .

Regarding the posting a few above, I've never known of any L72's available for '67 as a Chevy or Canadian Poncho...never say never though? .

Wonder what ever became of the supposed 'real' Canadian L36/M21 Poncho at the end of this thread and if the clone or whatever it turned out to be ever happened? .

Danger, beware of the rest of the thread content...my eyes and head are sore again just re-reading it again. .

Sweet! London really was a performance centre. It looks like all the dealers were in the game. Didn't Central Chev have a second location for their high performance offerings? I think a glass shop is there now. If anyone is from London, stop into the Cadillac Hummer dealer and talk to Doug. He lived that era and worked for Sinclair Pontiac at the time. He showed me some amazing photos from the day. So..it sounds like this dentist isn't the friendliest? Figures.. Another question-what was the highest HP 454 offered in the '70 full sized Canadian Pontiacs?
Someone needs to form a high performance Canadian Pontiac club online..
