69NovaYenko Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) This post is a continuation of my earlier post “Sixties-Seventies Performance Pontiac Dealerships .” I`ve been attempting to find out more about Pontiac dealerships that would allow anyone to walk off the street and get the dealer to installed speed goodies (headers/blueprinted engine /suspension etc.) and drive out in a dealer prepped street racer. Recently, I discovered a northern neighbor, Canada, not only had Pontiac high performance dealerships; they had their own models of high performance Tin Indian`s. Conroy Pontiac in Ontario & British Columbia Canada was the Canadian equivalent to the American Nickey, Yenko, Baldwin, Berger high performance Chevy dealerships. They were the “go to” dealerships in Western Canada if you wanted the fastest car on the street. They were notorious for a number of Pontiac Supercar conversions, the `67 Pontiac Beaumont SD “Cheetah” with a 450 H.P. L-72 427 engine was one of them.
