I guess there is just lots around in manitoba and sask then, I have run accross atleast a dozen or more 66 and 67 chevelle and beaumont 4dr HTs in my travels, seems to be more 66 than 67 that i have found. There is currently a butternut 67 beau 4dr HT running around winnipeg in the winter. I have not seen it this winter yet tho.
I also parted a 67 beaumont custom V8 4dr HT about 4 years ago, really really rusty, beyond repair(trust me) beyond repair. And before i get hate mail about parting a beaumont, let me tell everyone that i used the parts to keep my 67 beaumont 4dr sedan roadworth, my numerous 64 beaumonts and all the 4dr HT specific parts went to a local with a nice 66 beaumont 4dr HT, so everything went to use and not just to fix a bellybutton chevelle.
There is also a 66 custom 4dr HT that has been for sale in winnipeg for about a year, the guy cant give it away, really sad to see. teal
There was also a red 67 beaumont 4dr HT about a year ago on kijiji winnipeg, guy couldnt give it away either, started at 5000 and rapidly droped like a rock, i think they eventually gave up. Red photo
There is numerous in wrecking yards accross the west, they are out there, you just hve to look a bit harder.
There was a nice 66 in the transcona/springfeild area a few years ago(a shriners car i belive, also a 66 in flinflon, a 66 chevelle in the wreckers in dryden, and there was a really nice original 66 beaumont that was in fortgarry about 10-12 years ago white with a 2 tone blue roof, if anyone knows what happened to that car????let me know
I would say that they are not rare in production, there just isn't many that have survived. Kind of like sation wagons. They were all used as parts cars for 2dr HT Street demons over the last 30 years.
Personally i much prefer the roofline on a 4dr sedan, the roof on a 4dr HT is really wacko and out of proportion, strange rear glass and a goofy looking side profile with that sharp notch to the rear door area. just park 2 side by side, most will agree, its just not a clean looking profile.
Just my opinions, dont shoot me!!
Some pics i have, i know i have more, but this is just what i found in a hurry.

I just got home from lookin at this car. Unfortunatly I didnt see enough in parts to even get any funds back if I was to part it out. There is some major rot in the fenders and trunk, 1/4's and the inner and outter wheel tubs. There is some trim missing and other peices that are there are banged up real bad. The grille is pitted up pretty bad no center emblem. There is a chevelle tail light on it. Custom badges are broken. It is a 283 power glide car that is not running and sorry didnt get a tag pic. Unfortunatly I came home with an empty trailer. I am usually not scared of rust but being a 4 door there just wasnt enough there.

Ok I don't know what happened with the links I posted sorry. I was gonna make an offer of 5 but I asked how firm and he said a little so figured half the asking price was an insult so just left it

I have never never seen one, even Chevrolet versions are rare and hard to find. WOW a Beaumont four door hardtop holy **** that is rare. Any one that says that is a common site is on acid, you know the good acid of the 1970's. I am 53 and have been in old car love mode since i was born and i have never seen one. I can only hope someone saves that rare sweetheart and not part it out to save a nickel a dozen Chevelle. Cheers. George.
