The org color is MG but now its more of a teal green,you can see the MG in the trunk and fire wall.
I dont have all the info on the 67's yet.
sold the custom after i got marrieddisbelief(wife said we needed a mini van)
got divorced, found a deluxe with a 502 in it, found the 67 coupe when i was looking for parts for the 68-traded the 68 for the 67.
found the convertible looking for parts for the hard top (see a pattern here)
had to have it.
so now i have the 67 coupe and sd convertible smile

It is the original floor, has black bedliner painted on it. Only new metal is the rear quarters. Car came out of Alberta. The underside looks as good as the metal on top. No rust at all. I'm very pleased with it. It was being turned into a drag car before i saved her. Only issue is i'm missing most of the interior pieces. Just got it home so today i'm going to go thru all my parts so if anyone has some extras please let me know. Definatley going to need some help for this one. First project that i've bought in boxes, i kinda like to take em apart, helps in assembly.Will post a wanted add soon. Nice site, thanks for the posts!

Greg.

Post an ad in the Canadian Pontiac Parts Wanted section. 
 I have some interior parts and other 68 parts available. I am about an hour away from you.

Need some interior parts. Dash pad, gauges, bezel, front buckets and window chrome front and back.  Also looking for a drive shaft to fit a 400 transmission. Hopefully have it painted by Christmas with all exterior parts and glass back together. Originally Vedoro green with a painted black top.

Done a bit of research on the Beaumont line and have decided to go stock. I've decided to sell my 454 and either put in a small block, which it came with, or put in a period correct 396 and do the car up as an SD car.  Any recommendations or suggestions? confuse

Great call to retain the stock build Greg...and I am a huge fan of Verdoro green. Was it an original 307 car? Either a 68 396 or 327 would be a nice set up. Cheers, Whitey.

Pretty sure it was a 307 car. I think i'm going to go with Tripoli Blue. Not a fan of the green.

Thanks Greg! The paint and body is coming up on 26 years old now...man time flies.

Can't go wrong with a 327, that is what is mine (from the factory w/2sp). I believe I have a spare set of 68 327 fender emblems. I will have a look, let me know if you are interested.

Also, check out: http://www.dalesmusclecarparts.com/beaumont.htm for a great variety of reproduction Beaumont emblems and SD rally caps. I recently swapped out my Chevrolet centers for a set of the SD non-disc brake rally caps and wrapped the rims with new BFG radial redlines. Updated pics to come soon. Cheers, Whitey.

Well, got 60 hours into the body so far. Got a little more to go and will be in paint. Decided to go with a slightly different color than planned. More pic's to follow shortly.
