1968 Pontiac Beaumont

INTRODUCTION

You have to see this car in person, out in the sunlight it's absolutely killer! Guaranteed to stop people in their tracks! The stance, mesmerizing metallic paint, incredible wheels, and the quality of the restoration set it apart. Adding to its intrigue is that it's a Canadian built Beaumont! An estimated 350 were produced, and most people have never even seen one. This one has been professionally body off frame restored to Pro-Touring standards, making it as impressive to drive as it is to admire.

EXTERIOR

This car is an absolute attention getter and conversation starter. First, because it's a Canadian built Beaumont. At a glance, it almost looks like something AI created- a Chevelle with a completely different grille, taillights, and side marker lights that most people have never seen before. Then there's the paint, which is quite possibly one of the most incredible colors I've ever seen! Out in the sunlight it's absolutely mesmerizing, and you'll be amazed at how many compliments it gets. The quality matches the appearance. The body has new quarter panels, fenders, and doors, so there's no rust to worry about. Everything was precision aligned, making the body laser straight. It features the desirable SS hood and was finished with a silver base coat, followed by four coats of dyed candy, silver metallic flake, and three coats of clear. The finish was then meticulously wet sanded and polished to an incredibly deep, glass like shine. The chrome and trim have either been restored or replaced. It has a new windshield, all new weatherstripping, a restored convertible top frame, and a premium black cloth power convertible top. Completing the look are stunning Budnik X-Series wheels- 18-inch in front and 19-inch in back, wrapped in BFGoodrich G-Force performance tires. The stance is absolutely spot on!

INTERIOR

It was completely restored and is just as unique as the exterior. Because it's a Beaumont, it combines Chevelle seats and center console with its distinctive GTO inspired dash, giving it a personality all its own. The seats have reproduction upholstery over new cushions, and it also has reproduction seat belts, armrests, carpet, door panels, and insulation beneath the carpet. The restored center console features the iconic horseshoe shifter updated with an overdrive selector. The dash was custom painted to match the exterior and fitted with a new dash bezel, dash pad, knobs, and glove box liner. The upgraded gauge cluster includes a tachometer for a sporty touch. Finishing it off is a polished Budnik billet steering wheel that complements the wheels perfectly, mounted on an Ididit tilt steering column painted to match the body color.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT

This engine bay is every bit as impressive as the rest of the car. It's powered by a GM LS2 Corvette engine featuring the factory LS2 fuel injection, GM Hot Cam, roller valvetrain, forged pistons, and aluminum heads. It's equipped with a custom cold air intake and dressed with aluminum valve covers, an aluminum serpentine pulley system, and billet hood hinges. Keeping it cool is a Be Cool aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, an aluminum radiator support, aluminum water pump, and matching overflow bottle. It breathes through Hooker Super Comp full length ceramic coated headers and is managed by a Holley Dominator ECU with Holley EFI. It also features a Powermaster polished 100-amp alternator, billet battery mount, American Autowire wiring harness, plus power steering and power brakes. The firewall and inner fenders have been smoothed and filled, and the entire engine compartment is painted body color for a clean, show quality presentation.TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and in the jamb, it's painted to the same high gloss standard as the exterior. Inside, you'll find pristine metal finished in semi-gloss black, topped with a padded carpeted mat. The Optima battery has been relocated to the trunk and secured with a billet hold down, and it also features a master battery disconnect switch. Finishing it off are a new weatherstrip and a new well liner.UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame and restored to a very high standard. The frame was fitted with custom engine and transmission mounts, new body mounts, and sandblasted and powder coated. The drivetrain features a GM 4L60E overdrive automatic feeding a Moser 12-bolt rear with 3.73 posi gears, Moser axles, a powder coated housing, aluminum girdle cover, and a custom made driveshaft. The suspension has been completely upgraded with CPP steering components, Hotchkis tubular control arms and spindles up front, 1-inch lowering springs, performance shocks, and a 1-inch sway bar. In back is a Hotchkis four link suspension with coilover shocks and a 1-inch sway bar. Stopping power comes from four wheel disc brakes with 13-inch rotors, red SSBC calipers, stainless brake lines, and a new emergency brake assembly. It exhales through a 3-inch mandrel bent stainless MagnaFlow exhaust with MagnaFlow mufflers. The fuel system features a custom polished stainless fuel tank with an in tank fuel pump, black braided steel fuel lines, and AN fittings. The entire underside is exceptionally detailed and built to handle the power while looking every bit as impressive as the top side.SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation.
