New here and looking for help. Seems to me that I've seen '69 Beaumonts with dashboards that look like a '69 GTO. Am I dreaming? The point is I need a dashpad for my '69 and Just Dashes is gonna be major bucks if you count the shipping....
There is another company that restores Dashes in Washington , the companys called Dashboard Restorations USA web site www.dashboardrestorations.com Phone # 360-892-4075 They Quoted me $875 to restore my 1969 Beaumont Dash, good luck trying to find a good used one, they just aren't out there, I have been looking for 2 years and no company makes a reproduction because it was only used one year 1969 Beaumont/ Cutless/ Lemans/GTO Stay away from the dashcaps they are cheap plastic and don't fit well or look good. Mylo

I have just purchased a 1969 Beaumont H/T for restoration. My first, I hope to have it completed in the next 2 or 3 years.
Yeah man we feel each other's pain. Tough to find in good shape. I have a Plastic cap that came with my car when I bought it 10 years ago. They are not the quality I need that's for sure. Thanks for the tip on the WA firm.
Is this a typical Beaumont one? there are no side vents on it, which in US Pontiac terms will make it a Tempest dash not a LeMans or GTO. I have one of those and it's freaking perfect, but I need the vents (astro-ventilation) Hmmmm
I also need a dash for my 1969 Beaumont. I have tried every plastic repair method I could find but nothing looks good up close. Has anyone used the Washington company suggested above?
Also - the door panels I have are really worn out. Is there a way to get new ones that really are authentic? The emblems in the doors say "Beaumont" but I only have one.

Dales Muscle car parts have some of the door emblems , they maybe 68 only,, can't remember?

I'm a collector...not a builder!!Located in sunny central Saskatchewan at the lakehead!
Haven't heard anything about the WA firm - just a price at $875.00 Just Dashes in CA has a VERY good rep and they charge 675.00 (if you have a core) and they match the glove box, ashtray, steering column cover and the small filler above the ashtray. I'll use them if I fail to find one I think.
Dale's Muscle car parts doesn't have the door emblems. Anyone have an extra kicking about? Also the door panels, once I verify the colour, can I purchase reproductions for the rear panels (it's a 2-door so they are the small ones)?

You may want to place a wanted post in the Canadian Pontiac parts wanted section. You can also post any questions that you may have in there as well to keep the thread separate from this one. I can tell you that reproduction panels for you Deluxe are available but only from one source if you are looking for originals.
Those won't be made by anyone.... You just have to keep looking. Repro door panels won't have the holes so you can install them and then take them off when you find the emblems and install them at that time. I have found a dash and will pick it up on the weekend.
Any interest in the 2 I posted?
Totally unrelated but I saw a Conroy Pontiac Cheetah last weeken:
'67 Beaumont 427 4 speed 4.10 Posi Green w. black vinyl roof complete with Cheetah emblems on the lower front fenders - very cool car!
