Re: Our new '66 Pontiac Beaumont SD convertible
Beautiful car LT1 Burb,
Looks like it's in great shape to me. I must make a correction to my post (thought I had done it long ago) Guess I corrected my info on the Canadian Poncho site but forgot to do it here. After receiving the info on the car from GM Vintage vehicle services, my growing suspicions (after doing more of my own research on the whole SD thing) were confirmed that our car did not leave the factory as an SD car. Someone went to a lot of effort (well done I might add) to create an SD clone car. So according to the paperwork, it is a regular convertible and was shipped with a 283/powerglide combo with a production number of 245, still not bad! Car was originally shipped from Oshawa to Calgary as "GM Dealer stock" no specific dealer named. As I may have said before, we did not decided to buy this particular car because it was a supposed SD car, but because of it's excellent condition and that it was a '66 Beaumont Convertible which is what my wife wanted ultimately. We enjoyed the heck out of it this past summer and can't wait to get it back on the road this spring. Since getting the car we have be able to really go through it well and even the guys at our local GM dealer where we had the safety done were incredibly impressed with the condition of the car, especially the under body, no rust or other damage at all. With the exception of a few cosmetic things I will take care of early spring, I found an original Beaumont radio to put back in the dash & a few other small things the car is perfect for us & ready for our enjoyment. Hope you enjoy yours LT1 Burb, looks like your still the only member here with a truck SD!
