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.
I was offered a 69 2drhtp custom about 2 months ago for 900 bucks Had all new metal that was needed for a resto The car was an orig 6cyl auto Bench seat car The process was started Car was completly stripped all parts sitting on racking outside 1/4s were cut off trunk pan was out just basically a rolling tub I ended up passing on it as it was a ton of work and not even knowing about all the orig parts being available I am not wure if it is still there but can check if you are serious on it It was in glouchester area of langley bc

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.
