Finished in red over a black and white vinyl interior, this Canso is now offered with build documentation and British Columbia, Canada registration in the seller’s name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The reportedly rust-free red exterior mirrors the body lines of the U.S.-market second-generation Chevrolet Chevy II Nova and features chrome brightwork, dual mirrors, rocker moldings, and a dual exhaust system.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Chrome Cragar five-spoke 15-inch wheels are wrapped in mixed tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The interior is fitted with black vinyl buckets with white accents up front, a bench in the rear, and matching trim for the door panels, padded dash, and carpeting. Features include a heater, rubber floor mats, a radio, power steering, and aluminum pedals.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a sweeping 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and a fuel gauge. Auxiliary gauges mounted underneath the dash show the coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 29,000 miles, but the true mileage on the chassis is unknown.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The 383cid stroker V8 is housed in a satin black engine bay and comes upgraded with MSD ignition, an aluminum radiator, dish pistons, a small camshaft, Edelbrock heads, and Flowtech headers. Estimated output is over 320 horsepower per the seller. Maintenance completed within the last month includes an oil change and the replacement of the water pump gaskets. Power is sent to the back wheels via a floor-shifted BorgWarner Power Brute Super T-10 four-speed manual transmission and a 3.73:1 rear end that was built by I.W.E. Rear Ends Only. The clutch is a McLeod Racing 11-inch hydraulic unit

UNDERCARRIAGE
