What is a Beau James Edition?

[MtBraun]

Ran across this CL ad. Is this legit?

It was only offered in 1975. Might be a factory 454, just not a Beau James.

Check out the current magazine stand. I was perusing the local stand and one of the truck mags has a several page story on all the special packages that GM offered. One of them included a lever action rifle. Can you imagine that today?

I found this link which if accurate says the ad I found is a poorly done clone. According to the other links, only GMC had the Beau James and it also had a special hood ornament, which this does not. Kind of a bummer...makes me want to contact the seller.

Do it!!! Let him know how much of a fraud he is and the community is watching. Offer him 1500 for it.

The 85 outdoorsman came with a carbine winchester model 94 worth about 1500 bucks right now

The bowtie in the grill sends up a red flag also. GMC not Chevy.
