Geordie & Nicola Moski?s 1969 Beaumont -- I purchased my 1969 Pontiac Beaumont Custom 2 Dr Hardtop in November 1994 after eight years of unsuccessfully trying to complete a frame off restoration of a 1969 Beaumont Deluxe. You see, the Deluxe was my first muscle car. I bought it in November 1985 and drove it till October 1986 when it wouldn't shift in to gear to leave the McDonald's Drive-Thru at Kingsway and Victoria (once was a hot intersection for Muscle cars). So I figured time for a frame off restoration project, 3 months!! NO PROBLEM!! Stopped Laughing Now? (I was only 21). Fast forward to 1994, by this time the engine had been rebuilt, the frame cleaned and repainted and the major bodywork had been started. I just couldn't find the time or money to complete the project. While shopping on a Saturday afternoon in November of that year, (November just seems to be Beaumont Month for me) I picked up a Buy and Sell. The questions started, why do you have that car? You never work on it and you never see any on the streets. After justifying the existence of a Beaumont in the Moski household, I proceeded to scan. Just as I figured, no parts and I needed lots. So I thought, what the heck, let's look and see if there are any complete cars for sale.
