Lots still out there
Permalink  

Today I bumped into a fellow I worked with at a Chrysler dealer about 5 years ago. We got talking and he mentioned he had an old car he was working on. Turns out it's a 65 Beaumont. It has bucket seats and console so would that make it an SD? He said he is slowly restoring it. He said "It's not as nice as my dad's 67- it has a 396 in it" omfg.gif

Neither of them are online but I did show him the website briefly and wrote down the URL for him. I got busy all of a sudden and had to cut the conversation short. I hope he or his dad make it to the site. I'd like to learn more about both cars.

Well, we definitely need him on here...

And details about the cars.

And yes, in 65 the buckets and console (if factory installed) mean SD.

It's the ones that put them together that apparently don't have time for that. Now mind you during the 7:30-9am rush I wont have much time for small talk, but after that I can usually spare a couple of minutes. It's amazing the amount of new Toyota owners that have OLD American iron in their garages. Another customer yesterday was telling me about his 74 Nova Hatchback with a stout small block.

I didn't ask him. He's coming back next week to have his front brakes done so I'll ask him.
