Congratulation ! Nice little Beaumont ! I hope you got a good deal.

Nice! Was that car on Kijiji?

I am thinking you can't say the words "Ken" and "keeper" in the same sentence!!!

Nice find!

Congratulations, nice car!

out for a drive today with Marta and Benjamin, low and behold 1966 Beaumont Custom convertible 283 auto, PS,PB, tinted windsheild, already GM documented, original family owner, 78,000 orig miles, last licensed 1983, tons of documentation/service records-yes I bought it

That is exactly like the one that used to be in my neighbourhood back in the mid 70's when I was in school. It too was white with black top and red interior, V8, automatic, 66 model. Really sharp car. Last time I saw it the whole of one side was wiped out in an accident; never saw it again. Same colors as my old 65 Parisienne ragtop too. This car looks really nice. Congratulations.

Thats not really fair-at the age of 28 I owned my 73 Corvette for 9 years, my 67 SD396 for 7 years @ 32, my 65 Corvette for three years, my shortbox chevy for 6 years and many others for two or three years-everyone sells their car eventually-just depends if its a week later/a year later or ten years later-I have been known to buy and later sell at a profit due to two reasons 1.) feeding my family and providing for them is far more important than any automobile I've found yet 2.) I love cars lots of different ones and sure can't own them all at once so if I get them one at a time its good too-guess if I was blessed with tons of means I'd keepm' all but thats just not reality.

No, actually I just took my wife and youngest son for a ride we were looking through some lavish real estate and stumbled across a 40 year old sub division, cruising through-there it was sitting in the driveway ! He said at least eight people banged on the door in the last year-looked it up and down but refused to pay what his appraiser told him it was worth, it wasn't for sale just sitting there. I agreed to the price-he called all eight people that left their numbers (because they were there first) to see if they wanted it, then allowed me to call the flatbed to get it home-

Looks good. I am a little bias to the color scheme. I'm sure it will provide some fun.

Looks like a good score....Not keen on converts though, I've owned 2, a 65 Impala with a 455 Buick in it, and a 70 Sattelite, with a 6/auto, and the summers I owned them it was rainy. Never got to fully enjoy them, I guess.
Did get the looks though, driving around with the top down and the heater on in the rain...LOL
Figured, if I have a convertible, Damn, I'm putting the top down and drivin it.

As long as you know that was a good natured poke in the ribs from a very jealous Manitoban Ken!

That is a sweet car. It hurts to look at the pictures.

And same for me, food still takes priority.

That is why there will likely be something set loose here this summer. Not the Nova or Acadian though.

Ah yes, I won't take my ball and leave the room-just voicing my opinion-thats what friends can do with each other.

Just have to look hard they are still out there. Nice ride How much

lets just say more $ than I need out of the turn key survivor 83 Trans Am I have for sale and less dollars than I was about to pay for the rust free Texas EL Camino I have posted for a customer



OK guys he needs some where between $6900 & $12900 . Pretty wide margin but its a start 

---

The Camino is $10,500 and the TA is negotiable, I plan on keeping it at least for now but but but I am a business man so I'd like to keep a lid on what I paid-no offense-I paid pretty quickly and actually double what he told me others offered-so I may be in too high-but I like it-I like the find
