I live in the Winnipeg area and am in the process of restoring with a little modification my 69 Beaumont Custom 2 dr hardtop. The car was a six cylinder car but that will be changed. The body is of the frame and the frame has been sandblasted and painted. Have upgraded to disc brakes up front and in the process of bolting in with some modification a 8.5 in. 4.11 geared rear end. Hope do do more in future as am now retired after 36 years at the railroad. I love Pontiacs and here is a list of some I have owned over the years;

58 4 dr , 63 Parrisian convertable ,64 custom sport,66  laurention,67 Firebird sprint 3.8 L overhead cam car, 68 Firebird 400 convertable four speed car and the car I now have my 69 Beaumont custom 2 dr hardtop. Any one know of the production figures for this car. (73537)

Ian, welcome here from your neighbour 1/2 hour south of Winnipeg.

Too bad you weren't here a week sooner. A whole group of us Manitoban's on here just had a long breakfast and gathering at our house here last Saturday! Make sure you read here faithfully as I suspect we may try to do it again in the spring.

maybe, for a while,  but in the end you'll simply be outnumbered - mere statistics!

anyways, back to topic,  welcome Beaumont 6008!  this is a good place to hang your discussion/information hat.

A big thanks to everyone.

Sound good Carl, just my luck always seem to be late and a dollar short. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Hope I can contribute a little knowledge to this site.  What engine EH, well I have two options sitting in my garage, a 400 small block that needs well everthing and well this one may make a few die hards cringe
a 400 Pontiac big block that I was thinking of stroking to 461. Wonder if I should put this to a vote in the future. Well not to worry I have plenty of other things to do before I get to the engine.

Ian

hard call. we are all partial to our chevy powered pontiacs but i thought the 400 were a little weak in the bores with not enough space between them for proper cooling. i would look for something else

Small block Chev. Much easier to install in that chassis since it's wired and mounts are already there for it.

Wow looks like you guys would come to my place and rip out that 400 Poncho if I put it in LOL.

 I guess a small block would keep it all Canadian and a whole lot cheeper to build compared to that Poncho block. Well I am a ways from that yet and who knows what will fall into my lap before I get to it. I had a 396 and a 307 and a 365 horse 327 years ago but burnt in a garage fire , the heat split the blocks. Had tears in my eyes overthat, specialy when I just got my 396 back from the machine shop.

I will have to send away for the information package from GM to see for sure
Permalink  

Acording to the information so far posted on the production figures there is a total
12982 cars produced total ,and 8950 cars of different models acounted for that leaves 4032 cars divided among 14 more different models.  Should be interesting to see how that amount divides between them.

the 69 deluxe production numbers is only 3 and a half times as many so who knows? if we use this as  a rule of thought it would be 1200 cars,but i think 6 cyls were more common in deluxes because they were a cheaper car ,and alot more customs were 8 cyls

73337 Beaumont Deluxe 6 cyl Two door hardtop ( 715 produced)

73437 Beaumont Deluxe 8 cyl Two door hardtop (2471 produced
