Well I did the deal on saturday but couldnt get it until wed evening. Managed to find a 1968 beaumont 2drhtp 350 auto bucket seat console car that I was albe to drive on the trailer. I am starting to think I stole it with the prices that have been showing up on Kijiji. I was amazed at the amount of spare parts that I got with this one. All of the spares are rust free being 2 doors, fender,hood and trunk lid. Then inside the car is another complete interior Buckets rear seat and door panels. The truck is also full of parts ie grille header panel headlight bezels taillights plus some performance parts and probably 3-4 sets of chrome. I will be posting pics up when I off load it off the trailer on thursday. This is in the guys yard that I got it from

What do you want a 68 for? I have been fighting the urge to buy something but I did put a bid on a 67 Canso. So is this 68 the new project?

Yeh, I saw that too! It's gone to a great home. Lots of parts around for those ones. It will be much easier than the 66.

Nice score Marty. I don't know what all you got extra for parts with it, but I'm looking for the trim piece that goes between the rear tail lights for my 68. ( Like the one on your car) If you have an extra one and would like to sell it, PM me please.

Congrats with the 68 Beaumont! We don't have 2drs in South Africa.
There is a possibility of getting a 67 4dr RHD Beaumont in January. Hope it looks as good as yours

Just as a clairification it does say M35 So was that a 2spd power slide? The console is a correct 3 spd I havent slid under it yet to see about that part but I was told T350

M35 is a TH350 so the console would be correct.
