Hello everyone. I'm a newbie to this great site and a proud owner of a 68 Beaumont Custom rag top. vin # 7366781. I've owned her since may of 1981. That's before the wife the kids and the mortage!! I've done a little bit of work to the engine,new intake and small 4 barell. put disk brakes up front and complete new front suspension along with msd ignition. Last spring we put in a new gas tank and changed out upper and lower control arm bushings. Last week we had the tranny completly rebuilt. The old girl has never driven as fine as she has today! I am looking forward to learning so much more about the Beaumont from all of you! I will post pictures after my daughter gets home from work since she is more computer savy then I am. I'm 57 and she is 18. Great site and I'm glad I found it. Until later take care.

because with your VIN, a common practice is for someone to list your car in an online auction, and someone will claim they've bought your car. Then all heck brakes out. Better safe than sorry, xxx out the last 6 digits.
