Numbers matching all there car but needs resto top to bottom. I am not in love with the colour combo and the auto tranny . I passed on for those reasons . All and all it would be a good car to do

Quite the bragging rights owning the first 68 SD convert built.

Yes, we certainly need to know more.
It was only a little more than a week ago that GMVVS released the document.

Yes, on the document, it's in very tiny print if you look closely.

The pics match the colour codes on the GMVVS paper. Both interior and exterior. So good chance this is the same car. Plus only 65 of this model number built so how many would be these colour codes?
From the documents and checking in the Catalog of CDN car ID Numbers book this appears to be the 715th Beaumont built for 1968. That would be consistent with the September 28th build date

How do they know it's the first ?

Does the Vintage Services determine that ?

My 2+2 is a very early built car and I'd love to know how early.

Now as an aside and just to stir things up did anyone notice George calls it a " Pontiac Beaumont"? twice.

 .....that did NOT go unnoticed.......but we won't go there.....right???

Ken LaBlanc of Ken`s Auto Appraisals in Welland gave me the inside on this car 2 weeks ago. It was hard to turn down. Ken did me a huge favour let me see car first. I am waiting to see if I can post pictures

 Wow... it would be hard to turn down.  For the record, I really like the colour combo as it's really unique.  Pretty much guaranteed to never see one again.

I'm hoping my lottery tickets will work out for me this weekend (lol), you never know...

But yes, better to 'not go there'!

 Pretty sure I won't be, unless there are some huge strides in medical science in the next couple of decades.  But if that happens there will be bigger problems to work out than what brand to call a car, more like what do we do with all these people who can live to 150 now???

I Might know who restored the Michigan car.

I would guess this is not the Michigan car.  but..   Here's the photo courtesy of Kevin and Ken
