WTB I am in the beginning stage of looking for a 1968 Superbee to purchase.

I did look at the "cars for sale" forum and did not find anything in the past year other than a complete project which I am not interested in. What I am looking for is a decent driver that has the original bulge hood, no rust, not red, not 4 speed, and not hemi (don't want to pay that kind of money). As for power plant, ideally, I would be happy with the original 383 also in decent shape. I have always wanted a 68 Super bee, and I am not getting any younger, so now is the time. I am not all wound up about getting the car. I am willing to wait to get what I want for a reasonable price, and if it does not happen, I am ok with that too. I would prefer to buy from someone here on the forum if at all possible. I would trust that way more than some dealer or random person. If anyone who reads this is from Virginia (that is where the car is) would like to have a look and see if you might know this car, please see the link For Sale: 1968 Dodge Super Bee in Cadillac, Michigan Apparently the owner is female and the husbands name is Frank. The pictures are not very good, but please feel free to comment on what you see. The car is on consignment with www.classiccardeals.com and the link to the car on their site is Classic Car Deals Consignment Dealership

Again, I hope someone here has one for sale in reasonable condition for a reasonable price. I did read the "what's it worth" thread where Mikey was looking for a 1969 Bee, and all the responses were super helpful. If you read this Mikey, I know you bought a car, so how are things now that you have had the car for a while??? Congratulations by the way!!! I will check back for responses to this thread!

I absolutely hate consignment operators. Their business model is to make many thousands selling something they don’t have money invested in, other than some advertising and overhead. It’s throwing an exorbitant amount of money away. The owner has a certain amount of money they want, and the consignment company wants to make around 10k on top of that.

That would include me as this morning we have a foot of snow on the roads. Even if the snow was gone you cannot take out the rides due to the road salt everywhere. At best you start them in the driveway and let them run for 20 minutes. You live in a beautiful area. Enjoy........

I am indeed fortunate to live where I live. My plan is to keep the videos coming to give you folks up north something to watch while you deal with the cold and snow. Our big annual car show is coming up at the end of January, so I will bring that to you as well. The Super Bee is already entered!!!

Thank God that in the end, I was able to buy from a private party. I am not a big fan of consignment either, but I understand that there is some space for that business model.
