A/C makes one think that it may have spent much of it's time in Texas, which would be a bonus! (My understanding is that "bolting" air onto a Beaumont is not an easy thing, considering the GTO dash etc?) Also, numbers matching 327 (with Chevy valve covers) which is not too common. (Chevy bb hood, which is a good thing if it's not aftermarket.)
He's not giving it away, but with the dry Texas climate, could be a neat car if the price was right...

Interesting that the rear bumper is still original, and with at least one reverse light in tact.  Considering how they don't hold up to salt, and that the availablity of Beaumont parts in the states is non-existant... could be a long time Texas car?

Texted the owner.  Seems to be in California.

I'd like to see the cowl tag, vin and documents for this car. I am guessing it could be pieced together, and possibly started life as a Chevelle. It does appear to have a Beaumont/Lemans dash but the pictures aren't great.

No factory in dash air offered in 66 Beaumont though, only in Lemans.

The link was sent to me by  Stan G      Stan built the 1969 SD hugger orange convertible tha some dude in the U.S. swore it was legit as he was there when his Dad bought it (years ago)

 

 

Stan is just completing a  Hugger orange 1969 Beaumont SD 396 4 speed with original factory air.....

I texted the fella. He indicated it is in California, and that the air hasn't worked for several years, but that it's all there. I mentioned to him that a build sheet for the Canadian car is available through GM Canada (to which he seemed grateful to know)...
