If I'm not mistaken I believe the color was Gold(autumn gold?)with black striping/decaling.I'm going to get the build sheet from GM Canada to substantiate that.But I can recall seeing the gold color on it when we were stripping it.I was told it was originally from the previous owner man years ago it was 350HP,but can't prove that without the build sheet,or can I?Also need /want to confirm the trans in it as well as it came with a 4 speed when I bought it years ago.Clutch linkage and trans hump all look original,and if someone tried to switch it over did an amazing job.It now houses a 700R4 that my father in law put in(shame,but he's older)lol,still have the linkage and non matching 4 speed trans that replaced the supposed original one that grenaded so many years ago when it was raced.
I think tranny would show if it's a 4 speed. I'm not sure about the others though. The 4 speed would show because of the hole needing cut in the floor I would think.

Thats a good question,If I recall there were,Ill have a look in some of my"antique"mags and books.And thanks for the info 4SPEED427...I'll get those ordered today and post them.Mark
65post,no they were still on the car.In my infinite wisdom,(ya i was a dumb kid)I decided to pop them off and give it a cleaner look.In hindsight I should have kept them,but such is life. Couldn't even begin to think about what I did with them.Mark

Back in the day a lot of old cars lost their trim.Finding 68 SD side moldings today ( if you can find them ) would be like finding Big Foot.
Would the cowl tag show colour, engine and tranny on this 68?
The 68 cowl tag would show the engine and the transmission if there was a selected option. The 738 cars came with a 325HP engine as standard equipment so it would only show the 350HP option if it were ordered that way. 3 speed standard was the base transmission so any upgrade including the powerglide would show on the cowl tag as well. Body color and interior color would show on the cowl tag as well some other info.
Good morning,he's asking mid 30's.Has had a lot of work done over the years.It's a numbers matching with a non-matching trans that was blown out of it years ago.Was painted approx 7 years ago,paint is amazing and garage kept since redone.There's quite a story and history to this car as well.Thanks,Mark
Im not interested in this nice Beaumont but you might want to say where the car is located and if that price is Cdn.

So I guess there's some confusion of the local of this car.The forum title says 68 Beaumont SD for sale in Sechelt BC.Its a small town off the sunshine coast just north/west of West Vancouver.You have to take a ferry to get there.Only one though.And yes of course it's a CDN price.Hope this clears up any confusion.Thanks,Mark

Good morning,that would be correct sir.It's still as beautiful as it was back then when they filmed the beachcombers.I too grew up watching it as a kid.The boat(Nick's)is still on display downtown"The Persephonie" not sure of correct spelling,and you can still get a great meal at "Molly's Reach" Sechelt is just a half hour up the highway from that.Thanks,Mark
Guys the build sheet is is now available for the 68SD.Let me know of you would like to look at it for verification.Thanks,Mark G,just go ahead and PM me.I'd like to see it goto one of the members here.Kind of keep it in the family so to speak.Haha
