- Hey Guys, Just a review of my personal car it took 8 years to do a full restoration on it. Well worth it my first car and I have had it over 22 years. I hope to get out to a few car shows and do some more cruising this summer. Brought to you by KCYukon search it! Like it and subscribe thanks!
My favourite car of all-time! Thanks for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it! I still have this car man its crazy 30 years later good memories in the Old Girl!
@@KcYukon That's great! My oldest brother has a mint '69 Chevelle, bought it in '83, still has it. Cheers to the good old days!
@@SetInStoneNow cheers and yep to the good ole days for sure!
Firstly, congratulations... this is a beauty, the SD are extremely rare due to very few being built and surviving the Canadian winters. These were not available in the US market.
I also had a '67 Beaumont, I bought it in my home province of Saskatchewan in 1975, for $1200. It was not the SD model, it was a 283 ci with a 2 speed power glide transmission. However it was equipped with buckets and console out of the factory and the same dash as this car, out of the Pontiac GTO. The interesting thing about the Beaumont is that it was almost identical to Chevelle, as you mention, however there are subtle differences. Of course the badging is different, there is the "Fleur de Lis" badge with the Canadian flag on both sides, primarily to represent that the Beaumont was only built in Canada for the Canadian market. There was also a factory for Beaumonts in Chile, believe it or not. As well, the tail lights, grille are different than the Chevelle, as well as much of the interior, as again, it is modeled after the Pontiac GTO. The key thing is that Beaumonts are NOT branded a PONTIAC or CHEVROLET. IT was marketed as its own brand. It evolved from the mid '60s Pontiac Acadian (another Canada only car), but did not have any Pontiac badging on this car at all. Chevelle frame and build, GTO parts, it was an oddly manufactured car, one to its own... treasure it my friend!
Thank you Sir! Its a special car I still have it of course but it doesn't get out much now. Mine was actually a Custom Model they called it with a 283/powerglide option but bench front and back... Its a cool car with a lot of history, I like how you mentioned the Fleur de Lis Badges I did not actually know that... I did hear Beaumont was its own branding but I was never sure as to what was fiction or truth... Anyways Good I appreciate your comment take care Friend!
Even the name has a lot of background information... Kinda neat never knew that...
fleur-de-lis, (French: “lily flower”) , also spelled fleur-de-lys, also called flower-de-luce, stylized emblem or device much used in ornamentation and, particularly, in heraldry, long associated with the French crown. One legend identifies it as the lily given at his baptism to Clovis, king of the Franks (466-511), by the Virgin Mary. The lily was said to have sprung from the tears shed by Eve as she left Eden. From antiquity it has been the symbol of purity and was readily adopted by the Roman Catholic church to associate the sanctity of Mary with events of special significance. Thus, when Pope Leo III in 800 crowned Charlemagne as emperor, he is reported to have presented him with a blue banner covered (semé) with golden fleurs-de-lis.
That the French kings long used the fleur-de-lis as an emblem of their sovereignty is indisputable. On his seal of 1060, before heraldry became formalized, Philip I sits on his throne holding a short staff that terminates in a fleur-de-lis. A similar staff appears in the Great Seal of Louis VII (1120-1180), whose signet ring was charged with a single fleur-de-lis. Louis VII is believed to have been the first to use azure semé of fleurs-de-lis or (the blazon, or heraldic description, now abbreviated azure semé-de-lis or and designated France Ancient) on his shield, but its use on a banner, and especially on the French royal standard, the Oriflamme, may have been earlier. The reduction to three fleurs-de-lis, today designated as France Modern, was commanded by Charles V in 1376, reportedly in honour of the Holy Trinity.
The classical shape of the fleur-de-lis, and the shape adopted by most artists today, is shown in the illustration. Between the classical period and the modern period its design was modified by the limitations and taste of craftsmen and their patrons, so that during those centuries now called the heraldic “Decadence” the outlines could be grotesque. During that time there were also attempts to distinguish between small variations, so that commentators wrote of fleur-de-lis au pied coupé or au pied nourri, in which the feet are absent or are replaced by a trapezoidal pedestal. Such variations were introduced at the artist’s whim and have no heraldic significance. The one variation that is recognized is the fleur-de-lis remplie, in which the three petals are separated by two stamens, as in the arms of the city of Florence. Some modern artists give the fleur-de-lis a prominent three-dimensional effect, but this is a matter of license and is ignored in blazon. If a lily is represented naturalistically in heraldry, it is called a lis-de-jardin (“garden lily”) to distinguish it from the stylized fleur-de-lis.
those are 66 lemans taillights and dash. that car is super rare, i love it. wish i had one.
Thanks it was my first car kept it all these years! I'm hoping to get it out shortly the weather is starting to warm ;)
My dad had one of these back in 96 that he slapped a built 350 in. It's the one that got away. I was only about 5 or 6 but i remember it fondly.
Yea these cars are becoming that 1 and million to find them now in the bush is almost impossible... Sadly enough alot of them did retire in the bush or a scrap yard... I'm happy I never let go of it there was a few times I was short on green backs and it almost went!
Man I love that car! It sounds awesome too Nice video!
Thanks!
Yes it’s a gto, and a chevelle. Not a Canadian chevelle. It’s a Beaumont!
Beaumont 4 LIFE!
Looks fantastic!!
C5GUY04 Thanks for watching its been quite the project but well worth it.
Kc Yukon I envy you. I cannot tell you how many times I wish that I had kept my 1967 SS396.
I hear yea bud a few times cash was hard to come by for myself I almost let it go but i held on to it... I'm sure glad I never let it go. Thanks again an SS was hard to find even when I was a kid! Cheers!
Right on there a great car I hope to do more videos this summer! Subscription are always welcome thanks!

That's a gorgeous car! And extremely rare. It would be equivalent to a Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe. You've got the Powerglide automatic which was essentially bullet proof (I've got one in my '66 Corvair Monza Sport Sedan). I love the color and the interior is really sharp. My personal preference is for the stock wheels, but yours do give the car a "muscle car" feel.
Thanks it took a long time to complete but we'll worth in the end...
Very nice.
Thanks I appreciate it... I put a 4 spd in it now she goes good!
sold my 67 custom 4 spd impossible to find parts for them
There such awesome cars if you go on facebook there is an Acadian & Beaumont group and they have found tons of parts on there... Still lots to be had.
Yes there very rare...
hi there very nice car i have the same one but mine is a sd sport deluxe black with white interior its on utube you might of seen it anyway i think its cool we have the same rare car very nice
Ohhh man sorry I missed your comment I will check it out if you got a video for it...Also sorry for long delay I missed hundreds of comments trying to catch up!
Very poor audio. No information other than cosmetic differences. Extremely uninformative.
Sorry about that
