I'm not posting this to be nasty or anything but it truly amazes me that generally muscle car guys in the US have no idea about our Canadian Chevy powered gems. Even those that do most often refer to them as mutts or bastard cars. I had one guy from Montreal of all places a Pontiac die hard tell me a Canadian B body isn't even a good parts car.

well gents

anyone like to way in on what its worth??
the pictures are fuzzy and far away so i gather its in need of it everything
but if the documents confirm its a 409/stick car???????

iam wondering because its in the usa, will that keep the price lower
because they dont understan what it is...my 63 parisienne at
shows around my town on the border always get at least a couple
why would change a pontiac to a chevy?? then i point out
the parisienne letters  on the side and go from there....

Its worth what a real enthusist will pay-market is way soft, projects even softer, tough call very hard to find not super desirable, in the wrong location, looks really rough-it'll never make reserve-the rebuilt engine is probably more dollars than most would pay for the whole project.

If real, it will be rare. looks like it need s lots of work but it's hard to tell condition with the very poor pics. I've never understood how people expect to sell cars with poor pics, but I guess it works becasue you see them all the time. I almost bought a car one time based on the pics, which looked good but which I found out later (thankfully just in time) did not accurately represent the car.  I've been very cautious ever since.

When I saw this I thought I had to have it. Already making restoration plans. Then I talked to the owner.........George is a very nice guy, sent me the PHS paperwork a.s.a.p   The problem is George noticed what the 63
Lemans wagon did on E-BAY and figures with this being the only 425hp
4spd on the market and this being the rarest 409 GM has built on a regular production line this should be a big buck car. For his sake i hope he's correct. I think i'll have to pass.

What's that "catch" or "buzz" word - Diversify

I have stated it before our having "own" Canadian produced Pontiac's just adds to the uniqueness of Pontiac that no other GM division had.

Apparently that car was drag raced at Keystone and Bison in the 60's and 70's. The original engine is still around and is now in a Chevy. Too bad the owner thinks is worth so much money. That would be a really cool car. It also unfortunately looks extremely rusty. How would you like to hear that thing cruising down the main drag in Neepawa, MB in the mid sixties with its lumpy solid cam and 4.11 posi. Giddyup!!

I'll have to admit that I've been a car guy all my life(at least since I was big enough to know what a "Hot Wheels" was). I've really never even considered or given a thought to what kind of cars were north of our borders. Guess I assumed they were the same. Now I've found out about the Beaumont, I'm interested...please read my post about 64 Chevelle grill.

Rare doesn't always equate to valuable. But it seems wagons are hot right now, and a 409/425 with a 4speed combo should be interesting enough?
