Re: Info on a 'Canadian' Nova..
I met a guy who had 3 '67 Chevelles and was collecting trim pieces for Beaumonts of the same year to alter them for resale. He said he could take them down to Carlisle and make a ton more money since the Beaumonts were so much rarer and in demand there, that it was well worth his time and effort.
He showed me one beautiful US Chevelle 396 SS in his shop that he had bought that I in particular would loved to have had, and he was turning it into a Beaumont SD car and said he could get between $10 and $15 K more for it that way. It was a completely rust free Ca. car and he had found a hood and some trim pieces in Carlisle when I was there with some friends at the same time.
We visited him when we all returned from the US at his shop where he did just amazing work.. somebody was going to get a really nice car out of it all - just not a real Beaumont SD as advertised..
This wasn't his first dance at this either apparently! So in some cases The Canadian Pontiac equivalents were a lot more dear than the Chevrolet equivalents!
