Was that car in Moncton up until the last year or 2?
I never saw it in person, but talked to a friend of the guys about it.

Is there any chnace of getting a larger picture of the paperwork?
I can't make out any of it.

I have 3 of those monthly listings from GM Canada, one for my 67 beaumont, another 67 beaumont i owned, and a 69 Firebird T/A ... when i finally get a chance to clean up my house (renovating) i will share the info on there...

Hi Carl,

Been away from the site for a while and missed your post.   My email address is Daweir@telus.net I love to have a ocopy of the paper work.

Thanks.

Now would that be Acadian Beaumonts, or Pontiac Beaumonts.........

I'm bad, I will likely be overcome by guilt and eventually delete this post!

Well, I'm sorry guys, but someone has to be negative on here with respect to this Registy in general. I have given a number of people in the past years copies of my documentation from GM as well as original bills of sale and have regretted this, not that I'm sure they are sharing with someone else. I have had COPO Chevelles, big block Canadian Pontiacs, Beaumont SDs, Corvettes, Novas, etc. and do not want the information I have given these people forwarded to others I do not know. I have watched for the last 25 years guys advertise in Hemmings, and over the last few years this character in Old Autos, advertise for a private Registry, which they indicate is for all, however I do not see them offering to give their subscribers a copy of ALL the information they receive. What I mean, to clarify this, is that if a Registry is to be prepared then everyone contributing should be entitled to an annual updated version of the list of cars on the Registry. If not, then in the case of this character out West, you are providing him with his PRIVATE Registry which he purports to supply you information if you request it on a public basis. The individual wishing to prepare this list I'm sure is on the up and up however due to these others that I have seen advertise in the past I certainly will not provide my documentation. With respect to the" key" issue shown on the early GM documentation; I must admit it is disconcerting, however I, together with countless others, have enough early GM keys that we do not need the keys codes to start a GM product prior to 1967 if we want to.

Some good points put forward from 427 Strato. Also as Carl has stated "I have gathered data for the purpose of keeping less than honourable individuals honest. In other words, the data I have will help discourage cloning of a particular desirable model."

I've been able to stop folks from being taken when possibly purchasing "clone Malibu SS' or Beaumont SD's" by using the information I have. Let's face an unpleasant fact about this hobby. When it comes to money there's always going to be somebody trying to take advantage of the "less knowledgable" folks. I don't like to see it happen and I do my part to stop it as best I can.

That was one of the founding reasons why I started my car club and why I participate on this web site. I don't want to see someone get a "pig in a poke" when they think they bought the real deal.

When comes to getting a registry started the biggest issue to face are

1) security of the information given (the five W's)

2) the conditions upon which it may or could be used

3) getting the okay from the originator of the data to release or not

among other issues. I believe a lot of "soul searching" and "integrity checks" are going on in regards to the registry project. I know I spent the best part of a Saturday night talking to the originator of the idea. Seeing how I have a database on these cars we discussed what I do with requests made.

At present I gather the questions asked and pass that on to an owner of that particular model. Its then up to the owner of the car as to whether they talk to the questioner or not.

What I do tell folks is the production numbers if I have them or give them a "ball park figure" which I believe to be close to the actual number based on production trends. I glean as much information as I can out of the questioner to confirm what their telling me is correct or not. If it isn't then I say good-bye and wish them well.

At no time do I pass on any information on someone else's car.... That strikes me as a "dumb move", its not my place to do so.

Still looking for a 67 SD 396 built 1-3 weeks prior to his Dec car. Anyone have one so we can nail down the crossover date from 736 SD cars to 738 SD cars.

I realize that the info is available. It just hasn't made it out in the open yet.

mines a 736 sd conv 1967 built in nov.

yep nov 10 it be cool if my car was the last one
