I did give it a quick exterior and engine compartment bath with a pressure washer. I've picked up a few parts - went to Portland and Monroe and found the following:
New windshield, front bumper, front bumper brackets (could give someone that awesome looking bumper that is on it now...form a line and no pushing!), I also picked up a 12 bolt rear, a set of wheels, a d/s front fender as well as two sets of headers (will sell one set).
I'm in the process of building a 1970 402 - and have collected all the parts for it except for front pulleys as I'm not sure if I have to use the short or long water pump, pulleys, etc. As my research has been inconclusive
A buddy of mine came up with the 396 emblems
Just picked the front disc brake stuff today for a pretty good deal
Next up is a brillo pad on the exterior and interior removal in prep for metal repair - on that note does the TRIM Code 373 mean Red?
Brett , good luck with the car, MAN oh MAN I hope you can get it restored, they are so so rare, almost impossible to find and typically after 50 years , I believe that there is maybe only 1/10th of the cars left,....this could be one of only 35 that are still around !!
I'd love to see it when you finish it !!
PS , if I come across any 66 parts I'll get in touch with you for sure
Great looking project. Love those beaumont wagons . If you want period correct you would need the short water pump and brackets. The long water pump was not used until 1969. Keep sending those pics.
I just picked up another 1966 Beaumont wagon...this one appears to be a factory manual transmission V8 car - unfortunately the trim tag is missing from the firewall
I bought the first one in Barriere BC and this one was also in Barriere - interesting considering how rare these cars are...
The bonus with this one is that it came with a spare front door as well as a spare tailgate - both have the Custom Model trim on them
Cheers
