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.

CONCLUSION: Wherever you take this Beaumont, it's going to draw a
crowd and start conversations. It stands out no matter what's
parked around it. Between the rarity, the incredible paint, the
Pro-Touring upgrades, and the level of craftsmanship, you couldn't
begin to duplicate this car for the asking price. It's finished to
that next level, yet it's built to be driven and enjoyed on the
street. If you're looking for something truly special, this is the
one. Don't let it get away, there won't be another one- call
