Yup, that is a full-on project car. That is the first really base '69 Beaumont wagon I can ever recall. It is the Beaumont equivalent of the base Nomad. Note the "Beaumont" front fender emblems. Only used on those wagons in '69 but may be the same emblems used in '68. The base coupes & sedans were a series above and were labeled "Deluxe" on the front fenders.
I wonder which 350 the car had? Either way it would have been good; an under-rated 255-horse regular fuel 4-barrel or a 300-horse premium fuel 4-barrel. A TH350 & 12-bolt rear. I wonder if anyone would notice if you ran a stock-looking 400 small block that was built? Ha, the engine is the easy part on that project.

Actually I have seen more power windows on the wagons than the crank down windows. When you go through wrecking yards it would be nice if more of the wagons had the manual roll down rear window,then you could actually get into the rear of the wagon without climbing over the back seat.
This one looks like a serious project for sure.Not for the faint of heart by any means.I love wagons but I am half way through my second one and that's it-no more-way too much work.LOL
