Default Conroy Pontiac - BC Canada / 427 Beaumont Cheetahs

I mentioned the possibility of these cars here in the past but have never known the whole story and believe the comments posted the other night are the first anyone w/ knowledge of these cars has appeared here?.
If there's been threads on these cars here before, someone please link them..

From what I understand, '67 (& maybe '66?) L78 and L72 Beaumonts called Cheetahs were built and delivered from this BC Canada Dealer...no idea on their others years A-Body cars or if they offered F or X Body transplants too?.

To find out more about these cars, a separate thread seemed appropriate..
Posted below is where we were at in the thread a few nights ago...lets dig deeper and see what can be uncovered?!.

I remember reading once about a Beaumont 427 Dealer Supercar from BC Canada...Cheetahs maybe?.
I think there's one or more known?.
Anyone know of any or what dealer it was?.

It was Conroy Pontiac Buick in West Vancouver, just off the Lions Gate bridge.
I'll try to find a photo of one of the cars.

Yes, Cheetahs. This is the only photo I could find of one, a 67 with an L72.
