Hi all,
Mikey, here. Greetings to all of you from Sunny NorCal. I currently have no Mopar, however, I have been cleared by the Finance Director to source a '69 Super Bee... maybe a Coronet. In the early 90s was a mechanic for a few years after graduating auto tech school then got into IT.. go figure. In my younger days I was a Chevy V8 guy, now have a '73 VW Westy which we've brought back to life, engine and all. I've had a V8 Jeep for quite some time so am not new to Mopar small blocks and have helped work on and build a few big block cars. But now 30 years or so later, finally, the time has come for me to pick one up. Either a project, restored, or somewhere in-between, just depending on cost. I'm joining the forum to get some advice, share insights, etc., and try to find out what the best way is to find a 69 Bee. I have only seen a couple at dealers for restored cars but would like to add some modern day touches like OD trans, FI, maybe power windows
... you know, the little things just to bring it into the modern age. I'm a huge fan of resto-mods but don't plan on getting too crazy. Thanks very much in advance for your wisdom and counsel.
Mikey.
