Geoffrey, I am in the far east of T.O., Port Union near the lake.

Your Dusk Blue car looks like one that was in Ancaster until probably around 1979, except that one had wheel covers and an STP sticker on the back bumper. It also wasn't in as nice shape as yours.

Your friend owns the Frost Green 427 2-door from Brantford? I remember seeing that car around probably around 1973-ish time frame, rolling on 5-spoke Appliance Mags. I remember seeing it repainted in a generic apple green circa 1976. It is wonderful to hear the car is still around. Way too many have vanished over time.

I also remember seeing a black version of that 427 car in Ancaster at a body shop at Trinity Road (Highways 2 / 403 / 52) around 1980. I kinda assumed it was the old green car since 427 Biscaynes were rare. It had the factory bench but an aftermarket mini console with an automatic floor shift (I had seen that item in a 1970 Parkdale High Performance catalogue). It also had the floor shift collar in the steering column.

You know, I remember seeing a 69 Biscayne 2-door in the early 70s that was driven by an elderly white-haired lady. It had a 327 and was Cortez Silver with a Burgundy 2-tone on the roof, a factory combo in Canada. It looked good in that combo. I tried to Photoshop a picture into that combo, and discovered that it really pops with a set of redline tires.
