New Guy / Hello / 71 BZZZZZZZZ

[71SE]

Hey guys,
I just wanted to say hi and that I'm new here... I just bought an awesome 71 Super Bee; nice California, GY3 car.. 440/Auto/3:55 gears.
I will post a few pics when I figure out how..

Also, if anyone knows how to change your name on here, that would be great...

Finally, if there is a good wheel/tire combo thread (giving sizes / backspace), I would be grateful...

Have a great day!

Mark

Here are a few pictures of my car.. I just picked it up about a week ago so I don't have too many yet..
Factory "U" code car.. I bought it from the 2nd owner who bought it in the early 80's out of California. I tried to find fault with the car but it's an honest car that's never seen a winter; I was sold quickly on this car. I got the original motor, trans and hood with the car; all in storage. The original hood was painted with the car in the early 90's(when motor and trans swapped out); the original hood looks perfect! Car now has Ramcharger hood, 440 / 6 pack, 727 & 3:55 Sure Grip..
I love this car!

I am in Western MD.. Hagerstown to be exact. We have a pretty large cruise-in over here every Saturday night.

Thanks for the compliments guys... I should've mentioned that this car was in Buffalo, NY since the early 80's... That's why I was a bit skeptical as to it's condition; that and the fact that I had looked at several cars that were misrepresented).. However, the 2nd owner kept this car indoors every winter and freshened the car up in the early 90's.
I am very excited as I've been out of the hobby for about 8 years.. Happy to have a classic again!

I was out at Mason Dixon last week for the Mopar meet. Were you there? Didn't see that car , I don't think.

Ha! that's 5 minutes from me... I actually didn't own the car yet.... My buddy was there but didn't bring his Cuda because the weather wasn't that great. That's usually a really good show. I'll definitely be there next year. Maybe Carlisle in July too..

Regards,
Mark
