Last few , the 69 Beaumont in the middle plus some other awesome Canadian Ponchos. Anyone know any of the owners. Anybody from the site?

Holy smokes! The first one is my Laurentian and the silver 2 + 2 belongs to John Priekshat from Saskatchewan; both 454 cars. Hard to believe that it has already been 9 years since those pics were taken; I didn't even think I had owned the Laurentian that long!

A couple of 67 SD'S. The first two are of an original owner car!!!
Bill that grey 67, i think that's the one i've got some pics of. The guy prepped it when it came to the dealership. It's got the wood grain option installed on the dash and it's something like 1 of 13 or so to have the "disc brakes" stamped on the wheels. Same car? Anyway, i've posted some of my father in law's 66 before, here's one again.
I'm still searching the archives for any pics of the 69 sd that I ownedd when I was a teenager but I have found none so far. I did come across a pic of my dad's stock car taken in the mid 70's. It's a 64 Beaumont. It's because of this car that I got into Beamonts and it's also the reason I got into the autobody trade( mostly painting)
Cool picture. Where did your dad used to race? I remember going to the track in Nilestown just about every weekend when I was a kid in the late 60's. Most of my interest in cars stemmed from then.
Here are some pictures of my 67 Custom that I finished restoreing last year. I bought the car back in '84 and drove it for five years until I parked it and started saving for a restoration. After sitting for sixteen years I stated the job and it took just over two years to complete.The car had a 350 with a turbo and 3:08 gears. There is now a 327 with a 700R and 3:73 posi rear end. The car was a full body off frame resto with all original trim and accessories redone. I did take the clock out of the dash and put in a tachometer, and got a clock for the consul. I had the power brakes but up graded to front disk.
Hi, I just found this site. I have a 65 Beaumont Sport Delux. I've owned it since 1995. In its current state it has a 540 hp 406 sbc with roller cam and valve train, TKO 600 5 speed, 3.73 gears with Eaton posi in the origianl 8.2 diff. It was originaly a 6 cylinder 3 of the tree. One of 371 built. When I bought it, it had a 327 4 speed and over the years I've got it to its current state. Body, paint and interior were done in 2000 and still holding up.
I don't have a picture of my dad's 65 SD Beaumont on my computer, just on paper. His car was one of the ultra rare 65 SD 4spd L-79 350 horsepower cars. He ordered the car with a 250 HP 327, but they were out of that model so they split the money for the 350 HP. This car if it still exists was ordered with a open differential because he didn't expect the motor change. He tells me he burned 25% of his tread on the first smoker. The colors were mist bluer interior on dark blue. The twin of the 4spd car in my photo. We try not to bring the topic up to much but i'm sure he would kill to have this car back. He took my 4 spd car for a rip and scared himself so since then he's been happier. I'll try to scan the photo one day.
