In 1968 my ex-father-in-law was a salesman at the local Pontiac dealer, C. W. Smiths, in Brantford, Ont. He tried to order me a new 68 SD with the L78 and I can confirm it was not available. I had previously went to the Chevrolet dealer and they could get a Chevelle for me with the L78, so he thought he could get the same option on the Beaumont; no such luck. I ended up buying my 68 Stratochief with a 427 4spd at that time from him. I eventually bought, and still have, a 68 Beaumont SD as well, however it is only the 350 hrs.

Bill....best of luck in your hunt. That's a great car and nicely optioned. I've never seen a seafrost convert in the 45 yrs I've followed these cars. Hope you find it!
Sounds like your uncle has good taste as well! The 68 SD's are gorgeous and an M22 is the top of the heap. |

Here's the LT-1 he bought after selling the Chevelle.He sold it in 1999 with around 40k miles on the clock.Still had born with drive train.The tires in the pic, taken just before selling, were originals from factory.Original paint.The only thing he did to the Vette when he bought it was take off the pollution pump and it was in a box given to the new owner.It was a 4 speed,had leather interior and a luggage rack.Sold it for $25K.Sure doesn't sound like a lot now!

Did you ever try for the Ontario Vehicles Info kit by Vin for the '68 SS? There may be some luck w/ them gaining the LT-1 Vin by ETS-851 Plate # in the photo too? Also, I don't know how far back it reaches or if even true but someone told me recently, your complete Ontario Vehicle ownership history w/ Vins is in the system w/ your Driver's License # also printouts available for a fee. Best of luck w/ your backtracking! ~ Pete .
