Actually a pretty good deal appears to be in excellent condition i would like to know its original number .The real cost is going to be in moving it

If my super spy skills are working, it's CN 78326 at 21 Meadowlily Road North, London, Ontario. 78326 was rebuilt in 12/1941 from CN boxcar #340802, originally GTR boxcar 18102 (CC&F 12/1910).

Thanks to Canadian Trackside Guide 2009 (Bytown Railway Society) and Google Maps. Here's a Google Map link. The buildings appear to match although the caboose is hidden behind the house in the Street View:
