when I had Jim autograph the red car, Jim had no clue as to what a Beaumont was. I laughed, told him, you invented it !. he chuckles. I told him take a chevelle, throw GTO interior in it, put a Pontiac split gril, voila, a Beaumont!. Jim put his hand on his chin, thought about it for a few, "I like it!", "sounds interesting".as he was signing,"He says i never signed a sunvisor before." geez, felt like I just got GMs approval for a new line up, was walking on clouds for a long time.Jim wrote,after thinking about what to write; Darren; its still a Pontiac,lets keep it alive, Jim Wagners. It was justn me and Jim end of the quarter mile track in Mission, He was standing outside the fence just watching the races, no entourage or anything, super decent guy.
Met him at the gto meet in bend oregon, very nice. Also met Arnie "the farmer" Beswick before his horrible crash 6 years ago. If anyone out on the west coast Want's to go to the ultimate gto weekend, I see if I can find out the dates this year. If anyone in Surrey b.c Ask for don in the liquor store in cedar hills (96&128) in the mall. He organizes the vancouver run. (He has 2 74 gto's) 1 with the camping package, cool option with atent for the hatchback.
