Default 69 Beaumont found on Craigslist

Check out this ad that I found on the Detroit Craigslist. Looks like the guy thinks he has a diamond in the rough.


69 Beaumont - $15000

1969 Beaumont odometer: 44000

Yes it's true this is a 69 Beaumont may be referred to as a Pontiac Beaumont or for those who really don't know much about the history of this automobile they may even call it a Chevy Chevelle. I'm pretty sure I own the only one in Michigan and I'm guessing maybe 1 of say 5 in the US (if that). The car is in solid condition body wise and running wise. Far from autorama ready but a great car to start with. It's a great conversation piece if nothing else so do a little research, then contact me. I'm open to respectful offers and will answer any questions you may have. You can email me or call or text at 734-seveneighteight-26twonine I'll also be editing the post at some point with pics but in the mean time if interested let me know and I'll email some. And please be serious about a purchase not just curious, I know this car is rare but so is my free time thank you...

We have a Beaumont in our club. Not much of an add without pictures. Sounds over priced for the condition, I'm guessing. Here's the link

This is Geordie Moski 69 Beaumont Custom from our club to give you an idea of a very nice original Beaumont.

I've seen a few at Frankenmuth Autofest. I like the subtle changes to the grille and rear. Makes it look a step above the Chevelle.

Yeah, there's a few Beaumonts around. I know of one '68 SD in SC.
And if you ever attend the CanAm Chevelle show held every July in Niagara Falls you'll see numerous model years.
Cool thing about them...you can still get the pedigree for the specific car from GM Canada.

Always loved that look. Never seen one in person. I wonder if anyone has cloned one

I guess it could be done but very difficult.
Beaumont specific items are hard to find and pricey. Dash is different too.

This came to Chevellabration a few years ago and was in the ACES magazine. Lee Anderson the founder of the club built it.
