Hello everyone and let me introduce myself .
I just became a member here due to the nice forum you guys have going here.
I'm also a lucky owner of a 69 bee cooper color and I need some opinion from some of you ...the experts.
My question is regarding the interior color on my car.
I don't like the saddle color on it ..it seems to be too much of the same going on .
so I have the tail stripe on white
Wheels are going to be the plain black steel no hubs..
I'm going to put the vinyl top white.. or NOT..all depends
I have a flat regular hood same color of the car , but I like the look of the bulgie...
I also like the look of the lift off type. ( but I don't know how good it will look the white top and stripe with the black lift off..and saddle interior)
I was thinking going white seats only to match the top..or it needs to be door panels to..?
here are some pics ..and thanks for all your time on this ..
Cheers Apolo1100

I was looking at a "69 Bee last summer that needed a full resto. It was that copper color I wish I would have been braver but there was not much on it that wasn't damaged. Anyway It came with black interior, console and buckets. I'm pretty sure the seats were original and they had the little rectangle medallions on them. The top was long gone. I really like a black interior with the copper and black vinyl top with the white tail stripes. You have a nice car there no matter what you choose !

I used to hang out with a guy in the '80's who owned a copper '69 Super Bee. His interior was also saddle and I though it looked amazing. White stripe as well but no vinyl top. I currently own a '69 Super bee in F5 Green with black interior and white stripe.

BTW, welcome to the forum!

Tough call, I'd do the whole interior white myself. I don't think the black hood will look bad at all on it either. Nice job on the paint, looks great.

Great job!
the stripe is white so keep with the light colors {white top and interior} IMO
the wheels might look good the body color with dog dish caps.

Great looking car!!! I've been searching for a 69 4-speed T5 Super Bee for a couple of years now as my next project. I personally like a black or no vinyl top, black stripe (but white would work too). Interior would be either tan or black. Build it the way you want though - can't go wrong with T5 as your main color. What is the brand and code for the paint you used?

Yeah, that top R/T pic is one of my favorites too. I think a lot of it has to do with the color. Seems that every paint companies shade of T5 is a little different.
