1969 Dodge Super Bee

[Nardo]

Greetings to all and to all who love B-Bodies!! My name is Nardo and I have the proud opportunity of owning the same car twice. I bought it as a 17 year old in 1985 and sold it in 1991. Then one night in 2006 while searching for a truck on Craigslist, I found an for sale add for a 1969 Super Bee and decided to check it out. Low and behold it was my car!! I called the guy who owned it and work out the sale and I bought it once again. I took it apart in 2011 and have it about 85% completed. It is running but I need to get the fuel injection "dialed in". I will upload pictures of the current build shortly but I wanted to show you the car in 1991 and in 2006 when I bought it back. Looking forward to "picking" your brains on interior tips and tricks.

The funny part was when the man I bought it from who was a co-worker to the kid I sold it to in 1991 bought it really wanting an E-body. He got it running and spent some hours with rough body work to make it presentable, told me when I asked him if we could take it out for a drive that he should drive because I might not be used to the horsepower!. Still not the latest but I will be compiling and sending them. This is about 3 months ago.

Gorgeous! I tried buying back my 69 Charger... I sold it to a guy back in 92, then tracked him down 25 years later. He still had it, but wouldn't even entertain an offer for it. My Jessica was still just a memory.
I'm happy to hear your story had a happy ending. Nice job!

Here a a few more. In no particular order. I built it has a restomod. It even has A/C and a Magnum 6-Speed. Triple black is a killer and I am not 18 anymore. It gets really hot inside and why limit the fun. Thanks for all the kind words.
