My Father-in-Law has made the tough decision to sell his beloved 69 Super Bee, so I have offered to list it for him here. Below are the details: This is a real deal 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee. The car originally came with a 383HP, but has been replaced with a stout 440 6-Pack. The...

Are the 440 emblems still available?

Ditto. No reply to my email. - - - Updated - - - I have wondered the same thing. I wonder if they are looking for a buyer overseas who might wire them a deposit, then disappear after they get it. Either way, you'd think they would list it with a more realistic price. Anyone who knows these...

Cool. Thanks! I did also find it listed on Auto Trader Classic. - - - Updated - - - That's what I've thought from the get go, but you never know. I certainly am not falling for it, because I wouldn't send any money without seeing it in person.

That's what I'm thinking, too, but Damn that's a good looking car. I can't find it listed anywhere else, and the seller has no history (He just joined Old Ride to post the ad), so my spam radar is tingling. A 68/69 Charger is our final piece of the puzzle, and we've been searching for several...

If I wasn't 20 hours away, I'd be in the car now, but it just seems fishy. That's a $50K car all day long.

Is anyone familiar with this car in Jersey City? http://www.oldride.com/classic_cars/895981.html It seems like a deal that's too good to be true, but if it is, I'd be down there tomorrow with a bank check and a trailer. I emailed the seller, but no response.

Right now the car has 255-60/15s front and rear, and the fronts do rub. However, the tires are on a set of 15x7 cop wheels that have 4.25 backspacing. I am now looking at a set of 15x8.5 with 3.75 BS wheels for the rear, which should fit the 255 tires better. The math tells me they'll fit...

I checked back through a bunch of threads, but could not find a direct answer to these questions: Was a 15" wheel available on a 66 Charger? If so, what would have been the stock sizes? I am going to get a set of TT D chrome wheels for ours. The rears will be 15x7 with 3.75" BS, and...

Looked like a coupole bounces off the wall, but nothing too bad.

Plus significant compression drops.

We have a repop on ours and I'm surprised at how well it fits, though I'm not sure what brand it is.

You can take any 440 block and make it into what you want. It's based on what you put on/in it. People even take the old motor home 440 blocks and make them into ground pounders. Just due your due diligence in picking the right parts. The biggest thing will be using the right heads and cam...

I've heard about using toothpaste, also, and I believe it works. However, typically if you can feel the scratch with a finger nail, it is most likely too deep to buff out. You can also check your local auto parts store. They will probably have several different brands of cleaners that might...

Looks like it could be legit, but I would still stay away from it. His BIN is the same as the standard list price, which is probably the only price he will sell it for. Also, this could well be an older one when the QC absolutely sucked, so it will probably require a complete tear down to...
