As I noted, I regrettably put 'Frosty' (my 69 Beaumont) up for sale as my bucket list car became available in a price range I never felt I would see. In a perfect world I would have kept both, but only have a double garage now so just not enough room. Anyway hope being an early GM car and being sold in Canada still qualifies me to hang around here . It's a 1969 Camaro SS 'survivor', 60K original miles, numbers matching drivetrain with an L48 350, auto and has a few neat options like tilt, full gauges including in the console and front and back bumper guards. Previous owner had for 23 years, it was originally solid at Vickar Motors in Melfort SK per the VVS package I received already. Her name is 'Kelly', since she's green we needed an Irish name, according to my son

63 Parisienne sport coupe (The Big GTO), black, maroon interior, 409 4 speed; former owner of a 59 El Camino, 63 Corvette SWC, 62 Chev Bel Air SC. 1963- Pontiac top selling car in Canada
Mahone Bay, NS Still not old enough to need an automatic
Whenever I see this Gen of Camaro, it always strikes me obviously why it was a hit at the time. What young guy wouldn't lust for one back then? They still do, but they've just aged a wee bit!
And I think a performance 350 is 100% the right motor for that body.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, Ill definitely be hanging around here still. Lots of the technical conversations and suggestions apply directly to Kelly as well. I may be putting up for sale some of the hard to find 69 Beaumont parts Ive acquired over the last couple years, but on the other hand Im not convinced Ill never have another one LOL.

There used to be one on Coxwell on the east side just up from the East General for years....
Yes, same colour, was a 307 car lady owned, Her daily driver for like you say 30 years.
Its still around, in Parkview Hills, a "collector" bought it.
A "collector" in Parkview hills?? Across the Woodbine bridge and turn left at the second street? Well, you have to start a collection with one car I guess....LOL
