1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info
 

Just received the GM of Canada info on my 69 Beaumont and said i would post a run down on it for those that asked.

It's a odd one.
It's one of 4,177
It's one of 174 for export from Canada.
Production date - March6,1969.
Shipping date - March 10, 1969 to Puerto Rico.

1969 Pontiac Beaumont Custom.
Trim: 787 = MEDIUM RED ( NOT RECOMENDED WITH PAINT CODE)
PAINT 40 = MAYFAIR MAIZE ( Butternut yellow - US )
Top 2E = Parchment.
ENGINE 307 CID 200HP 2brl Astro Flash V8.

OPTIONS:
Glass - Tinted - all windows.
Exterior top trim.
AirConditioning manual control.
HD Front & rear Suspenssion.
2spd Powerglide trans.
Power steering.
Wheel trim cover.
HD battery.
Export prep.
Tire pressure label.

theres about 30 pages of misc option and build info for all 69 models to go through but thats the basics on this car.

Im the 2nd owner and its is all correct .
It doesnt say if there were any others with this specific trim & Paint combo but i would be willing to bet that there isnt!

OPEN QUESTION :

Would you keep this car Butternut yellow with a white painted top and Red interior , OR CHANGE IT ?

The only thing I would even consider changing on that car is the Oil.
Leave it alone. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info
 

Those cars are cool. The front end looks custom. Definitely a car that you need to look at twice!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info
 

If you don't keep that combo, you should be shot.

It's not too bad, really - it's not like green or blue as a combo. I've seen a 442 in that combo that was in Cars magazine. Car was modified by Motion Performance too!

Were these Beaumonts exported to South Africa, or were those cars their own thing?

The thing I would consider changing is the ownership. Leave it right on the trailer and I'll come get it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Leave the car as it is. What a great find. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Very cool and unusual combination which I wouldn't change at all. Being odd is what this one is all about. To me,
altering the interior(or paint for that matter)to conform to a more typically ordered car doesn't make sense.

Sounds like it shold stay the way it is huh .

I know its a odd car and although its not a SD or peformance model i think its still a fairly rare car.

The only thing i tought about was changing the Yellow to Cordovan Maroon .
Maybe i'll just leave it the way it is !

Besides , i have enough to do at this time to do another project.

Thanks for the input!

Re: 1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info
 

That car really is a unique piece of history,and although it's cash value is alot lesser then a ZL-1 camaro,it needs to be left alone to show what really was. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info
 

Yes, please do not change the color!

I have seen one Beaumont in Ohio by Mansfield. And a few in the Detroit area. They are out there in America.

Re: 1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info
 

Gotta love the "ASTRO FLASH" V8......That color combo is so odd it's gotta be left alone...I wouldn't change a thing..

We have a Burnish Brown 69 running around town.... SD powered with Vigilite and Day two trim...I believe it's called "The Beast of Burden"..

Hey Steve , you wouldnt happen to have a picture of the Burnish Brown 69 SD would you ?

Im 43 and with all the shows i go to , and its everyone i can , i have only seen 4 68 or 69 Beaumonts in my life.

1 at Super Chevy in INDY , 1 at AURBURN - Kruise auction , and 1 in Pigeon Forge TN at the Grand Run - and Mine

I havent seen any 69 SD though and cant find any good Photos of one.

I don't think so......But I'll look anyway. I can get some after the white stuff leaves in the spring and we come out of hibernation... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

This one is totaly "day 2".....Gold Crager SS mags,ladder bars,gold anodized valve covers...plus some kind of ram air set up..70's left over for sure https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: 1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info

Re: 1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info
 

Don't change a thing--it's a genuinely intriguing piece.

Re: 1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info
 

A little of the subject, but here are some pics of a 67 SD Beaumont factory 396 4 speed factory tach, headrests, console. It was a factory black car and this is the original interior. Sol the car to someone in B.C. canada a while ago. Just incase some of you 67 chevelle guy`s have not seen one. Have more pics if you would like to see them.

Re: 1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info
 

I don't know why someone would think gray/red doesn't match, because it matches very well.

Re: 1969 Beaumont & Canadian Document Info
 

If you don't think gray and red match, just come to Columbus.
