’65 PONTIAC ACADIAN INVADER! DRAG CAR! 565CI BBC! BRACKET WARRIOR! BYRON DRAGWAY!

I’ve heard of the Acadian and Beaumont line of General Motors cars manufactured in Canada for the Canadian market but never actually saw one in person let alone at the drag strip! Upon first seeing what appeared to be your typical chevy II box nova I happened upon the owner Jeff Estes who told me to take a look at the front grille. To my surprise it was a Pontiac Acadian Invader! Jeff and his son Colin made the trip to Medicine Hat, in Alberta Canada to acquire the ’65. Powered by a Scott Shafiroff 565 ci b
