I stopped to look at a rusty Dodge SuperBee yesterday and the owner has a bunch of cars, one being a 68 Beaumont.
Decent car,good paint & interior with a 97 Vortec350 carb engine,200R trans. disc brake conversion. Asking $12k. It's in Otterville Ont south of Woodstock. He said there's 3 69s around him and he has the only 68.

In America , a Beaumont is just another import :/
That being said , I love the '67 Chevelle.

Chevelles definitely go for more than Beaumonts, but I don't think its 50%. Here's a site with some realistically priced cars. www.classiccarliquidators.com/ They sure love their Chevelles down there, but sites like Ebay do not accurately reflect what these cars are really going for. I don't believe the Beaumonts are 1/2 the price of a Chevelle. Personally, I prefer the dash and the front and rear styling on my 67 to the Chevelles of that year. Can anybody tell me a 68 Beaumont isn't a nicer looking car than the 68 Chevelle? I know a guy who bought a 67 SS brand new and he tells me you bought a Beaumont if you couldn't make a deal on a Chevelle. Its ridiculous because theyre essentially the same car! But that tells me from day one the Beaumonts cost less.??

         Doesn't matter if its 50% or 40%    theres a difference....      

         Doesn't matter if you or anyone else likes them better...    

         its supply and demand  and market conditions.....

         Look at the gorgeous L79's of Joe and Suzie    If they were Chevelles they would be long sold...    

         This site is for Canadian built Pontiacs  and Beaumonts and Acadians      

         

Well
I hope to find a 69 Beaumont 4 door plane jane dog dish hubcap car
( the wife liked the picture in the 69 Beaumont factory brochure ....)
D.  And I like beaumonts better than chevelles anyway!!

 was his name Jim D'Hondt?

 No it's not Jim. I bought a 67 SS 396 Chevelle from Jim back in 86.

This is my 68, 17000mi little beauty.  Just took it to Woodward. Love the attention it gets.

 

Having owned Beaumonts all my life, I would never buy another one. Parts were hard to find thirty years ago, not easier now. Any repop parts that "should" be direct interchange, do not fit proper. Softseal weatherstripping, suppose to be the best, ends do not fit proper, nothing is exact. I'm a purist, I've literally thrown away alot of so called interchange parts, not even close. Never again would I buy a Beaumont. The cars have fought me all the way,ore than any other 60s GM I've owned.

Wheelwell chrome don't fit proper, takes two guys to line up, twist slightly and manipulate chrome into where it should go, god forbid drill holes for screws that don't line up. Fenders are narrower on top of repops than original and do not line up with cowl vent and A pillar. Hoods are different. Window felts and sweeps grrrr, bought a set and not even close, tossed them in garbage so no one else goes has to deal with them. Had a set custom made from Steele Rubber Products, was not cheap, one felt weighs as much as all the old felts all together. Maybe if they were chevelles I wouldn't care so much, like they say they're only original once. Would be nice to keep the cars exactly the way they came so others will know what is correct and not correct. Frustrating. No problems with restoring the 67 nova, 66 impala, 64 chevelle ss, 67 chevelle wagon,but these Beaumonts not fun, everything on in or around them is a battle. It's only metal, I shall prevail!

Hmm...i bought a Chevelle. Hood for my other car and it no problem.

Agreed re the repop's. (However, just thinking out loud re "Softseal weatherstripping, suppose to be the best, ends do not fit proper, nothing is exact", I'm guessing this isn't so much a Beaumont thing as it is a repop thing?)

---

 Yup, I think that's right...........So where has everybody bought their w/stripping kits and how has the fit been?

           NOS (Dale) how are your products.......do you sell a complete kit????

 

---

we mostly sell Metro SuperSoft weather strip. We fill the blanks with SoffSeal or Steele. But you have to watch Steele as some of their muscle car stuff is repackaged Metro. For 2nd & 3rd gen F-bodies, G-bodies  we like Fairchild but they don't do the A-bodies as yet. As for A-body window weather strip Its TWE (Ted Williams Enterprises)

We have had many of the Parisienne window weather strips reproduced. Give us a call on these

We don't sell kits but usually discount multiple pieces purchases

 ......good to know someone close to home is watching out for us,

hopefully will be looking for w/strips for the 67 Beaumont and the 66 Impala sometime soon, am just starting

the interior resto on the 66 with the pieces I got from you in the spring.

thanx again for your help.........will be giving you a call.
