Well it has been 3 years since my last post and although I was really looking forward to restoring the family car back to original, life has thrown a few curve balls at me and unfortunately am looking at selling the vehicle. The response from members here was very encouraging and appreciate everyone's input to no end and was hoping for a little guidance on where best to post the car for sale to get top dollar and ensure it goes to a good home and receives the restoration it deserves.
I did write to GM Canada and received the following feed back based on the VIN for this car.

It would be greatly appreciated if some members could provide some direction on rarity, value and how to get top dollar for it? I.e eBay or different online sites etc.
Sincerly,
Trevor
Ps Just figuring out how to post the pics here. If you don't see them right away, they are posted in the restoration section thread under "Rustoration 68" and I think in the welcome wagon under my user JJW68.
