RE: Most sought after, collectable, rarest Beaumont, and possibly the highest replacement cost OEM factory delivered Bea


I posted this on the Thread where you asked me about the statistical combination of L48 and M20;

 Ray,

So the 1624 number of L48 cars, How many were m20 4 speeds with factory dual exhaust? Is that info available? Appreciate any help. thanks Randy


 Using my same statistcal approach using cars in the orginal registry, only 101 cars have transmission and engine identified and 6 are L48 M20 combination. There are a total of 13 L48 cars in the registry and  4 speeds make up a significant proportion on the cars. I think this makes sense since the L48 at 300 HP was a performamce engine and we have many cases of anecdotal evidence suggestong this combo gave away little if anything to the SD396 cars. So the statistical data and analysis we have at hand suggests 750 more or less L48 4 speeds in 1969.

It is incredibly gratifying to see all the input from others on this thread. And what seems like an easy deductive answer, it also seems difficult to determine which Beaumont should receive the "holy grail" status. "Some like this...and some like that...but one thing is very clear, these cars will live on in the hearts of many, for years to come.
