It seems that Butterscotch wasn't a real popular color with b-bodies compared to a-bodies. Anyone have any pics of their butterscotch b-bodies (or any bodystyle for that matter)?

Its still a project and I just bought it. It's no looker, but was paid in full with one payment. The only rust on the car is the center trunk pan and the channel where the rear window sits. The fronts of the quarters are bad, however they have to be changed out anyways. I have nice doors and most everything to put the car together. It is a 4-speed car with the only other option being tinted windows.

An AZ car eh? Did you go and get it or was it closer when you picked it up? Hey, I think I see a little Butterscotch left on there. ;) That's going to be a cool ride when it's done. Keep us apprised of its progress.

You do know that A 12 has been rebodied right.The upper half is a two door and the lower half is a 4 door.The two doors have full wheel well openings the four doors do not.I saw this on E bay. Jim

I watched the auction too. :yes:

Once the new outer wheel housings and quarter skins are put on nobody is gonna care except for the super purists which can suck on my hairy beanbag.
It is super clean and will be pretty easy compared to what we have done before. Ths car really sparks anger in some people. I may just leave the small wheel openings on the car, though I doubt I could do that. Someone coined it the A6 (half an A12, obviously) which I kinda thought was clever so I was thinking of a build with a slant six engine, however that probably wouldn't be nearly as much fun to beat the snot out of. Not to mention it would be pretty :blush: only having ~200 horsepower and being out run by everything else on the road. I sure would hate everyone around here in their Camarys & minivans talking about how they smoked the Mopar with the big hood scoop, stripe and large rear tires (with a 4-speed no less).
All that matters is I got what I wanted and I can't wait to get it together and start flogging the car harder then most people did back in 1969.

It's just sad this day and age someone would do that to a A12 car.And then the hillbilly used a four door to rebody it.Cut the roof and tops of the quarters off and weld them to a four door.Sorry but that is no longer an A12 car.Yes it is your car and you can do what you want with it.You may say it doesn't matter because I will never sell it.That may be true,but your wife may be a widow someday.And some poor bastard will buy it thinking he is getting a real A12 car.I know you didn't do this to this car.I just don't understand how a honest Mopar guy could buy this thing.

Here we go again


Once upon a time it wasn't uncommon for a car to be clipped if it had been crashed really hard. In a case like that, I doubt anyone here would pop off and claim it was no longer a "real ____" It would be whatever it started life as, and had whatever was necessary done to it to fix it.

So if someone doesn't want to buy this, or any other car, after having had major surgery to save it. Fine. Don't buy it.

But consider this. G.G., who is as against hacking cars as much as anyone on the planet has given his blessing to the "repair" of the last Hemi Cuda vert. It's the one off the reservation that has (basically) nothing left from behind the firewall. But some rich guy owns it, and can afford to have it resurrected. So it's being fixed. And asfar as G.G. is concerned, it's STILL an original Hemi Cuda Vert.

I know there are a lot of people who could care less what G.G. thinks or says. But, he has attained a certain status in this business/hobby, and what he says DOES carry weight.

By the time I kick the bucket (barring anything in the near future) I think these cars will be fairly worthless anyways. The prices are already falling pretty rapidly and with fuel and insurance costs rising constantly I suspect most people are going to decide these muscle cars are not really worth owning anymore. The government regulations are not getting any easier to keep these cars on the road either. Or to keep a parts car in your yard or even a nice car with no plate in your own driveway for that matter. Between scrap metal prices being so high and everyone else charging top dollar for every little part a lot of people that were into Mopars as a hobby before they were popular have been financially squeezed out the hobby.

I agree it is a shame what happened with my car as no car in my opinion deserves to sit and rot away in a field until there is nothing left. Not a an A12 car not even a 4-door. At least they salvaged what they could from the original car to someday put it back on the road. At least they kept the car alive. I guess I look at it a lot different then most people.
It bothers you that they used a 4-door, but whats the difference? Sure they have a few very small differences but going down the road at 45-75 mph (depending on where I drive it to) nobody is gonna be able to see them. Even at car shows and at the strip nobody will be able to tell the difference. Heck when I am banging through the gears & standing on the throttle, I am quite certain I will not even be able to tell. I am sure the reason they used this 4-door as a donor because it is rust free and extremely clean.
Would it have been any better if they just let the car sit and rot back into the Earth? At least this way it'll be back on the streets keeping the interest in muscle cars alive to help preserve the hobby.
You can say it isn't an A12 anymore and you can call it a 4-door if it makes you sleep better. You can curse it and call it whatever you want, but it's going to be a kick @ss car again. I guess it'll just make it that much sweeter when it is.

A lot of people were vocal about how this car is a fraud, blah, blah, blah. Yet when they found the original General Lee it was very destryed. I remember reading in the article the only part of the original 1969 Charger left usable was a small section of the roof as even the roof was all bent up. Yet that car is looked up to in high regaurd as super cool. I guess I do not see how a car that has been gone through and has more reproduction panels & steel then original is any better then my Bee. Maybe it is because when Scott did my Bee it wasn't done piece by piece / panel by panel.
At least nobody can argue that my Bee is 100% 1969 Detroit steel as it sits right now and virtually rust free at that.

You guys can say/think what you want, at least I have one. And I am damn proud of it.

Of course I wish it was in the shape it is in and was all original/untouched. However if it was I would not have been able to purchase it at all let alone buy it and haul it home for the $4,250.00 I have into it.

These cars will be fairly worthless in the future...Please Although I agree it is getting hard for the common man to afford a true Mopar muscle car .Six packs forget it,Hemis forget it,70-74 Cudas Challengers forget it,68-70 Chargers forget it,Big Block A bodys forget it,even a nice 68-72 Road Runner is $20,000 plus.All the cool Mopars common or not are so valuable it isn't funny.

Well its impossible to say what will happen to the value of these cars in the future, I honestly think that once gas doubles it current price (which may not be that far distant) the coolness of these 10-18 mpg muscle cars are going to wear off quickly. Especially when you are gonna pay out the wazoo for insurance and to keep yet another vehicle on the road. Between these costs, the inflation that will come with it, and the upkeep on these machines to keep them going and keep the bodies from not rotting away it will cause an implosion of some degree.

Driving these cars are great (therapeudic even), however when it costs half of ones income to keep it on the road and drive it once and a while I think a lot of people will just give up on them.

Hopefully it will never come to that, however lately I have already seen a pretty big shift of poeple getting out of these older cars and into late model modern hot rods and for good reason I suppose.

I don't think the hobby will really suffer. MOST people in the hobby only drive their cars on the weekend.....as opposed to A body people, who drive their cars all the time. So if you keep that in mind, and figure they only drive an average of (say) 60 miles a weekend, then they only drive about 240 miles a month. And they don't do that every weekend of every month. So you figure they maybe use 3 tanks of gas every two months.

Doesn't figure to be all that much in the grander scheme of things

I had an A12 Superbee that was Butterscotch too. It was a 4 speed car. When I had it the car was painted Sublime,but it was coded for Butterscotch. When the guy who bought it from me stripped the paint off it,it was confirmed to be an original Butterscotch car.

I am starting to believe (whomever posted it) that there were a lot of Butterscotch A12 cars - which is really interesting to me. I just did not think that it would be a very popular color (compared to other color options available) but then again, I don't think many were ordered (correct me if I am wrong) but were built/painted that way and sent down the pipe to be sold. Someone on that design team/platform must have really liked it.

Not to rub salt in old wounds, but i do not think IMO that Daniel's a12 super bee has been rebodied. IMO to rebody a car would be to take the vin and title from one car and install it on another car. They used what was salvageable from the original car i.e. top ,trunk opening including vin nubers,and tops of quarter panels. It has had alot of rust repair and parts used from a completely different car, buy no one is saying it is an original sheetmetal A12 super bee. At least someone is interested in salvaging a truely rare car. It would be no different to take that original car and put every part that AMD is repoping on it. I would call what they did extensive rust repair, but instead of new parts they used a fairly rust free donor car. I have a rear floor pan out of a rust free satellite that i am going to put in my GTX , I wonder if that will be rebodied? :rolling: These days we have to do what is needed to repair these cars, while still retainig as much of the original car as possible. It is a love and a passion of mine and many others that can not afford to buy a car that is O.E certified gold at the mopar nationals. If it was not for project cars there would be no industry for these parts or any need for these great websites. We would have a web site talking about what a nice drive we had in or cars today. Again just my thoughts on this, not trying to start an argument on this.

I AM NOT SAYING THAT REBODING A CAR IS RIGHT! I consider that the act of using a COMPLETE different car, and then installing a vin number or tags on it as something that it is not.Taking a slant six car and putting the vin and tags off of a hemi car or six pack car and thats all you use of the car is wrong.All i was saying is that in this case they used as much of the original A12 super bee as possible, and did the work to save it. Also if you represent something I.E. a car or anything as something it is not then that is wrong and not ethical. I stated that this was only my opinion on this car. Would it have been different if they had used all repop parts? They are making complete frame rails, floors, trunks, tailpanels, wheelhouses, and onand on. I dont think that anyone is reprsenting this car as something that its not. Its a car that has been cut apart and had the use of a donor car to repair. Talk about wrong Look at all the 1971 hemi cuda' converts around. Did they every build one with anything but a hemi? Its all about misrepresentation of something. Just like taking a satellite and making a GTX or a roadrunner. Its still a Satellite with roadrunner or GTX parts and that is all. At any rate GTXperience said it best, and i should have listened lets get back to the real thread! I understand that people are different and that they share different views on this and all other matters. There is no diffenitive line on how much of one car has to be used for it to still be that car. On that note i bow out on this matter, i love all mopars and all ways will so lets see some more Butterscotch mopars!

BTW, YOU are the one that started this thread down the rebody road.LOL! But I think the the original post of seeing more Butterscotch "B" bodies has run it's course. If you want to see more of them go to http://a12mopar.com/yabb/YaBB.pl there is also a post on there somewhere by Dave Watt that give the figures of the number of A12 cars colors per what they have REGISTERED. There are no factory figures or percentages of how man cars were painted which colors so that is as good as your going to find.[/QUOTE]

Dir sir, I did not start this thread down the re-body course. If you would read the complete thread , it had already been brought up and discussed. So if you would please care to read the complete thread you will find this out. I also understand that the car lines are basicly the same in and of themselves. With there being very few weld on differences. Sorry for stating my opioin on this matter.

But it says nothing about removing said VIN and replacing it on a completely different car.

THAT is the issue.

I can see where is can be interpreted to mean "it's ok to remove the VIN from your cracked E body dash pad, and replace it on a restored pad". That only makes sense. But putting it on a a completely different body isn't the same thing.

Who says there's not a lot of Butterscotch A-bodies running around? ;)
This one happens to be mine & Joyces. Well, she drives it. I tinker on it.

I think we've all had enough. There will be no more discussion on the subject that is no longer part of this thread.

Maybe if you didn't "tinker" on it, it wouldn't be that color. :grin:

But I like the color and there is also the matter of my weak bladder ... so it's a win - win. ;)

Actually, there is no bladder issue but we love the color anyway. Joyce has nicknamed the Dart - Buttercup (which is kind of cute the way she refers to it).

Wow I have been missing a lot!

I wonder how come I have not been getting e-mail notification...

It seems that alot of posts have been deleted or does 69 Road Runner just like posting only periods?

Yes, many posts from Daryl (I forgot his screen name) have been deleted. It's probably best that you didn't see the exchanges. Now, we can just go back to talking about the lovely color of Butterscotch. ;-)

BTW: What's wrong with just posting a bunch of periods? I think it just shows that 69 is a man of few words ... ya right! :rolling:

Very cool. Can you post the address so I can take a look? If the interior were white as well as the vinyl top, they would look very close. Granted, I still have to put my new top on. Also, I am just painting up some wheels (body color) and am putting those on with redlines. Joyce is pretty stoked about all the little improvements.

Hello all, New guy Here...I saw this post and had to post a pic of mine. The first pic is where, and how, I found the car. The second is how it looks today.

This must just be a moment of weakness...because I'm quite convinced that I really don't like Butterscotch colored cars...but... MAN, THERE ARE SOME GOOD LOOKING BUTTERSCOTCH CARS IN THIS THREAD!!!

Now I know it's just a moment of weakness...or low blood sugar...or all of the election talk has just worn me down...because I even correctly referred to the color...I usually just say "Buttersnot"...:tongueflap:

Ben, I just don't know...I guess you guys are going to have to post some more "BUTTERSCOTCH" pics (there, managed to get it out correctly once more...) and I am just going to have to deal with it...

If I end up with something this color in my garage I'm holding all of you personally responsible...

Is this the one they have been discussing on Moparts with 999 paint code? In this link:
http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=6589030&an=0&page=1#Post6589030

They did not offer it on 1969 models from the factory on anything except an A12. It became available on other models beginning in 1970.

Here is a link to Dave Watts KNOWN colors for A12 cars in 1969 so you can see how many have been found as of this date. You have to go to the last page as the thread was started long ago and has been updated as time goes on.

Butterscotch, (Dodge) paint code 96 on tag, was only available in '69 on the A12 Bees although I heard rumors of a small number of Darts being painted this color.

Bahama Yellow, (Plymouth) paint code 96 on LR built cars and 99 on STL and LA built cars was available on all 69 RR's after the color was released.

PPG color 81570.

EL5 Butterscotch/Bahama Yellow for 1971 was coded PPG 23225. It was available on Dodge and Plymouth A, B and E bodies.

If both of these cars are painted correctly, there is a difference in the shade.

Your right on the Plymouths Doug, I am always thinking Dodge as that is what I have and what I sold new.
