1967 Beaumont Sport Deluxe convertible
 

Original Canadian documented 1967 Beaumont SD (Sport Deluxe) convertible. Originally Nantucket Blue with blue bucket/console interior, L34 396, M20 4-speed. Has non-matching 1967 vintage 396 motor and 4-speed. New flo-master exhaust, mechanically intact as a driver… but will need a total restoration including floors, trunk, quarters, etc. I’m posting a photo of the GM of Canada documentation. It still retains all the original SD only tail panel trim, sport deluxe emblems on the trunk lid and above the glove box, but its missing the quarter panel script (reproductions are now available). You’ll notice that someone has put the wrong quarter gills on it (reproductions also available), and it's missing the original big block hood. I also have a very intact 67 Beaumont parts car that goes with it. It’s available for $25k Canadian. Seriously interested parties can call Helmut at (403) 803-3879.

FYI.... sYc mambers, Helmut is one if the most honest and real car guy I have ever had the privledge of doing business with.....his word is Gold. A very humble straight shooter.

Helmut, hope she finds a new home....one that will restore her. This is one car that deserves a great restoration, a no brainer. You must have your eye on something else to be letting this one go? Perhaps a "Post Car" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Cool ride and you certainly don't see those around. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif


Hey Dan, you seem to perseverate on "post" cars. Do you like them or something? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

The production numbers on the GM documents are misleading. There were only 70 1967 SD convertibles built and only 8 or 10 known to exist now. There is a red one in New York that belongs to a member here.

Sweet piece Helmut!.

I know we touched on this previously but is there known fact of how/when the SD's were delivered w/ the flat or bumpy hoods...early/late?. And the '66's...flat only?.
Also L35 was the best it got, right...no L34's or L78's?.
What do you know on this Mac?.

I remember one of these around town here...last saw it in the early 80's I think?. Do you remember it Keith...had a Chevy bowtie shaped back window?.

325, 350 and 360 hp engines were available in these cars but there were no 375 hp cars. I have read a little about these cars and believe the following statements are true. The first part of 1966 SD was just a trim package and the cars had small blocks . Later in the year it became a performance package with the 396 as part of the package. I'm not sure of the exact production numbers for all years but I do know that there were less than 2000 big block Beaumonts built. I know the production numbers for 1967 SDs are 70 convertibles and 451 coupes and for 1968 there were 65 convertibles and 702 coupes. There were no 1969 SD convertibles. I believe there are a couple members here that own Beaumont SDs.

Don't get me started Bob... everything you've got would look great in my garage!

Pete... I only know of L35 and L34 models being available in 67 SDs. This is documented as an L34 350hp 396. I don't know about 360 hp models being available?

As for the bump hoods... I know the SD was offered as an RPO option on the early models like this one. Then (some time between October and December the SD's got their own model number 73837 (73867 for convertibles). GM of Canada says there were only 66 of the 73867 models made... so if there were 70 made, this would be one of only 4 early cars with the SD offered as an option. I've got a theory that the early cars might not have received the bump hood. The early Beaumont dealer brochures showed the SD's with a flat hood and the later brochures showed them with a bump hood. I haven't found anyone that can say one way or the other.

The GM of Canada papers show how many were sold in Canada. They don't show the few that went to other countries like New Zealand and Australia. One articla I read on the 68 SDs said there were 702 coupes built, 680 stayed in Canada and 22 left the country. I saw a 68 SD at a show in South Carolina last year. The GM paperwork shows 680 built and sold in Canada.

You're right, I never thought about whether they produced any for sale outside Canada.

I was referring to 67 SD convertibles... the GM of Canada documentation says "NUMBER PRODUCED FOR SALE IN CANADA 73867 MODEL NO. ONLY) was only 66.

Car sold - unfortunately not to a member. It's heading down to California. Thanks for all your interest!
