Just got back showing our 1965 L79 (327-350HP) Acadian Beaumont one of 23 built from the Forge Muscle Car Show held in Chattanooga Tenn., what a show I've never seen so many rare Muscle Cars in one place. There were at least a dozen or more ZL1 & 427 COPO 69 Cameros encluding Reggie Jacksons ZL1, a one off 1971-454 Camero built by Berger Chevy in Grand Rapids,Michigan. Dick Harrell staff was there with thier collection of race cars. Several 66/67 Ram Air 442 post cars, in all toll there was about a 125 cars in the show. A picture portfolio was taken of our Beaumont and will be published in a upcomming issuie of one of the following , Super Chevy, Muscle Car Review, or Muscle Car Enthusiast.

Sounds fun, camaro, not camero. :p

Maybe someday I will attend a show like that.

Didn't "Muscle Car Review" get swallowed up by "Hot Rod Magazine" 3-4 years ago?

Suzie,
I saw your '65 in Chattanooga on that Friday...beautiful car! :thumbsup: The second time for me actually...it was also at the CanAm last July, correct?

How about a few pictures.

A few pictures of the car from the show.

Nice car, but does the word Acadian have a meaning?

Err....does chevelle?

Legends state Chevrolet / Gazelle were blended. Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet gazelle, Chevelle.

Acadian's were french Settlers in 17th-18th Century Canada who were exiled and have geneaolgy roots to the Modern Cajun's.

I'm beginning to sound like Cliff Claven.

Thanks John.

Does anyone know where i can find the center trunk molding for a 64 beaumont? I have a 64 malibu ss and i would like to incorporate that piece into my build.
