Are there any original 68-69 Beaumonts left?
Permalink  

Some day I want to get myself another Beaumont (my first car was a 68 4 door) so I tend to scan the ads a lot.  All the '68 - '69s that I see tend to be hot rodded or SD'ed (including clones or parts thereof).  Just wondering if there are any original ones left out there that haven't been messed with.  I seem to find quite a few '66-'67s in the ads that aren't messed up too much but for some reason the later ones are always personalized.

BTW, this isn't a slam against guys who modify their cars.  I enjoy seeing those too, it's just that when I get a car I would prefer it to be original... you know with stock parts including hubcaps, upholstery, etc.  Even a 6 cyl would be a nice cruiser if it were clean and stock.

Anyways, I'm still savin' up, so I'll keep looking.  Just wondering if my observations are correct or if I just haven't been looking at the right time and place.

Hi, thanks for the heads-up, but it sounds like too much work for me as well.  I hope some day to find a complete original one that needs minor work rather than a complete resto.  Besides, being in NS I couldn't ship a car in pieces without major complications.
