Cool car! Is it radio delete? Are the heater controls right above where the radio would have been??

[Keith Tedford]

That's the heater controls above the radio plate. Pretty well the same dash as a Lemans or GTO. Nice clean looking car. In '66 even the SD396 Beaumont didn't get that hood. Nice touch though.

Keith's right, Beaumonts had a Tempest dash..
Here's one and this car's sure looks like it w/ Radio delete....

Although sweet w/ the six stick, MK1V power and a 12 bolt would sure wind up the funometer!.
The first thing I'd do is spin the blackwalls out!
The car seems like a deal...someone should take a closer look?.

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?.

Neat stuff guys! You're right Pete...A big block would look mighty nice in there

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.

Cool!!!
Were they called Cheetahs or something else?.
L72's?.

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