Restoring a Rare Canadian Muscle Car: 1968 Beaumont’s Epic Comeback!

[@jessicaleduc9250]

I love what Atila says at the end "We didn't have money falling out of pockets we restored the car because we had the desire to restore the car" ❤

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Love that line!

[@blaynepaige7312]

Another beautiful restoration of a rare Canadian muscle car. Atilla is one of reasons that the Ottawa Valley has a rich history in hot-rodding.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Indeed the master in his domain, I look forward to more builds he may do in the future !

[@johnnyduplantis]

Amazing! How he did that is beyond my comprehension. Needless to say, I've never seen a Beaumont here. I loved the 1968 Chevelle. This beauty is indeed rare and wonderful to see.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thanks, it's a cool car, especially for its Canadian heritage! kinda like a Pontiac Chevy stepchild lol. ALl the best JD

[@johnnyduplantis]

What an awesome interview and car! Attila told me once about his SD Beaumont, but I never got to see in person. As for the man, even dough I’ve known about Attila since the 90’s from his racing exploits and reputation, I never took the time to talked to him till we were at the second annual Wayne Young memorial at Luskville. Since then, I got a chance to talk to him a few times…. All I have to say, he really is a cool guy and definitely one of our local street legends. 5 stars again Max!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Glad you like it Rob, Attila is one of those guys once you know him youll always wanna hang out with him. Thanks for the kind words!

I owned a 1968 Beaumont Custom in 1973, 327 4 barrel carb, auto trans. One of the best cars I’ve owned. A Beaumont is a Pontiac just like the Camaro was made by Chevrolet and the Firebird made by Pontiac. Chevelle by Chevrolet and Pontiac wanted to compete and made the Beaumont.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. More coming soon! Next season is stacked with cool cars

[@brucenaylor2043]

I'm a big Pontiac guy I found out about these like four years ago and I want one so bad.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Hey they're still out there... ive seen a couple on marketplace from time to time. Cool cars for sure grab one if you can. Thanks for commenting

Nice car, reminds me of back in the day. There was one of these in a local junkyard. I touched the car and the only thing missing was an engine. It originally had a big block as the headers were still under the hood. They ended up at my house that day, but stoopid me left the car there. Yet another classic that slipped through my hands, but back then a Nova is what I wanted. I eventually ended up with 8 Novas, counting the one I am restoring now! Oh well...........

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@Eldude350 haha nice story. I'm glad you went the nova route more than anyone in the world I'm sure... But yeah that Beaumont would have been nice too. Hey at least we get to race each other when the novas are done one day 😎

The Beaumont looks like a Canadian brother to a GTO . That is a great restoration looks like it can get up and move

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Yeah same frame as a GTO just slightly different body styling so you are not wrong. Cheers man nice to see ya as always

[@firelord71]

@@firelord71 thank man. Next one is a big one epoxy a good amount of the car. Getting into the good stuff now

[@firelord71]

@@SubdivisionAuto I'm waiting for that my friend I like what you are doing bringing back to life old iron you and your family be blessed

[@Gibbswelding]

Love the beginning talk mentioned parts of the manufacturer history. Is there more to uncove. The talk at the end was wholesome. I'm a business consumer, so stuff like that needs a podcast. The podcast is coming, I small it.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Hah glad you like it but I hate the sound of my own voice too much to create a podcast so I can 100% tell ya I cant see myself ever doing that. But I appreciate the positive vibes have a good one man

[@davidkastin4240]

Beautiful restoration. Nothing better than keeping it stock looking. I've always been fascinated with Canadian cars. You very rarely see a Canadian car in the States. Excellent looking car, kudos to the owner 👍

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Cheers David you'll like the next episode too

[@marcofocaccia4917]

Another amazing episode Max...What can you say about Atilla...Amazing Guy, Super knowledgeable, awesome car collector, proud to call him a friend.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Awesome Ross!

[@strokersteve468]

Gorgeous car, Attila is very talented.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@strokersteve468 oh yeah the man has I think 8 or 9 cars on the road all cars he's restored. Nice to see ya as always Steve!

[@strokersteve468]

@SubdivisionAuto Yes, I really like his " super duty " wagon. But, I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite.

[@tonymaddex1659]

You can't beat those classic lines. Great video Max

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Right on Tony! All the best brother

[@MyHumanWreckage]

Apparently, Americans go nuts for these Canadian muscle cars and a lot of them are ending up in the States.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thats hilarious I did not know that. Thanks for adding that

[@mrgreezy1]

It’s not a Canadian car. It was designed and built by United States engineers and manufacturer. GM gave it a different name to promote it to Canadian customers. Most all Canadian versions of GM vehicles are stripped down versions with less trim because GM knew Canadian customers really didn’t deserve nice things because of how they talk about America. The painful reality is if Canada didn’t have American car engineers they would be driving all of the extremely weak and mundane vehicles that Canada has produced and then they would cry even harder then they do now. write that down eh ? 🤣

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@mrgreezy1 sounds like you are big Canadian patriot ! Thanks for your support!

[@mrgreezy1]

[@javierdenardo2607]

It is a Canadian car because it was built in Canada by Canadians and not sold elsewhere.
