 Wierd.  I did an edit to correct my spelling mistake, and it did a duplicate post.  I'm curious to see if this edit will have the same result?...

67Beaumont re.jpg1967Beaumont re.jpg

Found this in my stash of keepers and tought I'd share. Feature is from Cars magazine December 1981. I remember buying the magazine because it was extremley rare to see a Canadian owned car let alone a Canadian made car.

I wonder is the car or the guy still around?

Cool, that has to be the car, note the "owner built ladder bars" and it appears to be a dark green. Looks like it hooks up nicely!

That is one awesome car,  certainly not still around the manitoba area i dont think

I have never seen or heard of it or the owner or the painter.  The writer is still going strong tho.

But then again i was only 4 years old in 1981

 

PS,  stevec,   where and when is your picture from????

Notice the incorrect seat skins in both cars. They do look alike.

 Yep, except in the colour pics it's packing a 350, turbo, with nox (instead of the 427 in the magazine article):

Looks like the guy must have moved to the US in about 1981,  1/2 the pics have manitoba plates,  but that sure is NOT manitoba in the background of any pics.  Almost looks like California.

Interesting,  Any manitoba guys remember the car?????

Nice looking 67, I've never seen it but as you said Richard the writer is still around at local shows to shed light. Probably took the magazine shots and submitted it as a package. After blowing up the internet picture it is a late 70's early 80's manitoba plate (yellow/purple) different number from the MB plate in the magazine ads but both MB plates. Reminded me of a 67 that banged gears around Garden City in the early to mid eighties but not the car.
