And 3 months later it will start getting cold again, I spent my summers in Quebec during my youth and loved it, but it only took one winter to say no more.

Dude, believe me when I say...Vancouver trumps Guelph every time!

I lived in Guelph for a few years (many years ago now) and while the summers ARE decent, there's more snow in that pic than my front yard has seen in over a year, maybe TWO years.

Oh, and I think I've seen more II's out here in the last 3 months than I saw in three YEARS in Guelph...and the II was only about 3-4 years out of production when I lived there...

Sucks to be out east this winter.
I'm going to get my truck out of storage next days off it's been so nice in Calgary.
But yeah you definitely need a winter beater in Canada.
It will be three more months before all the gravel is swept up.
Not using my truck as a daily driver till then.

I sent 4 II's to the bone yard rusted-out from road salt. The Mach came from Arizona and it will never see snow or salt (well at least in my life time). I saw six II's in Guelph last summer!! (A record number).

For the record:
1978 Red King Cobra
(2) 1975-78 Aqua Coupe(s)
1975-78 Yellow Coupe
1978 Silver Cobra
1978 Blue / Black Mach 1 T-top (mine) LOL

Well, if you include our own, my current tally for the last six months is as follows:

1x white 78 Cobra II with green stripes
1x white 78 Cobra II with black stripe (side stripes deleted, scoop missing/replaced by big-ass air filter)
1x 75-78 V8 dark brown coupe
1x 75-78 blue coupe
1x 78 black coupe
1x 76-77 white/blue stripes Cobra II

then there's Tony's II's that I see/work on regularly:
1x yellow King Cobra
1x 77 Screamin' Yellow Ghia
1x 77(?) silver Ghia
1x 78 "swimming pool" Ghia

then there's my own II's:
Black on Black custom King Cobra T-top
78 T-top (currently green)
78 coupe (stripping for parts)
77 Cobra II (white/red stripes)
77 pseudo-Cobra II

As well as a couple of other II's that Tony and I have gone to look at lately...

Keep in mind that the last six months INCLUDES what passes for winter here

THIS is why I swear that southwestern BC is truly the muscle-car Mecca of Canada
