That's a beauty - how many miles on the car? What are you going to do to the car?

John has owned this very rare SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan since 1984, he has the orignal "Bill of Sale" and "Broadcast Sheet".

John has done a wonderful job of restoring the car. This Chevelle is currently the only Butternut Yellow Chevelle in my Registry. This Chevelle will be debuted at the 2012 MCACN IV.

I will be installing a complete SMS interior.

There is a original owner BY 68 Chevelle L35 4 spd with 35k miles here in Greenville, they also have the Grenada Gold 70 Judge they bought new with less than 25k miles, still smells new, it's in a car bag.

Sweet P<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gifST also love that rubber mat too!.
Another site member and I were looking at this below ad for a '69 Beaumont Post car last week..
No it's not an SD original BB car but any '69 Beaumont Post is a rare find compared to the same in a '68 and chances are pretty good this one for sale now may be THE best '69 left?.

Hello! I just signed up to this forum, and wanted to say I love it! I have been reviewing all the threads and this appears to be the best site out there for Chevy Supercars.

My dad had a Butternut Yellow 1969 that he bought new, but not an SS <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif .

Welcome Adam12, please fill in the rest of your profile. We would like to know your name, that is if you`d like us to know your name <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

Super Bee`s are very cool Mopars! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Done and done! Sorry about that, I thought I filled everything in. I have a couple friends with Chevelles (1970 SS396 and a 1967 SS396), and another friend with a 1970 Z/28 in pieces.

What drew me here was the Supercar Reunion coverage in a magazine, and this looks like a great site.

My Bee's are : 1971 440 6-pack 4-speed, and 1969 440 6-pack auto.

Good to know! There are actually some closet Chevy guys on the Mopar site I sometimes visit, mostly Corvette owners. I'm a B-Body man myself but I like the E-Bodies too.

Sorry for hijacking this thread into the Beaumont world but I'd sure like to think/hope the above Post was an original paint top car!.

Again the '68 Beaumont Posts were never plentiful here in Canada either but any B-Pillar '69 has always been a much rarer sighting and one in as good a condition as this one looks a truly tasty find...especially these days!!!

Even just imagining this car w/ it's bench back in place, a Mk.1V lump and bumpy hood added w/ contrasting color painted top and steelies/dog dish caps feels G <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gifD!!!

Even though this is a very late built Chevelle and could have been born with the later "Smooth" rear ash trays, we opted for the Early Cool "Ribbed" rear ash trays.
