Thank you! I used to live in VB, so I’m familiar with the area. Appreciate the welcome.

Nice to have you here! That Super Bee that you're so proud of...I'll bet you have a photo or three that you'd like to share.

It is a 4-speed. I estimate (just using AI and statistical probability) there are probably 500 - 1000 on the extreme top end of these left—but that’s just applying statistical likelihood, and most would not be in as good shape. Clearly, some will be much better as well, but I’m pretty happy with it.
I have noticed a few of them lately, as you suggest, but the 4-speed is what makes it hard to find.
It’s my first muscle car(unless you count a ’72 Malibu when I was teenager), so I’m still learning about the technical specifications. Usually, as I replace things bit by bit.
Just “re-did” the suspension all around, converted it to 4-wheel disk brakes, added front/rear sway bars—and power steering—which somehow was removed and never replaced before I bought her. Can’t wait to drive her again after all the upgrades.

Nice car. Are you still in Virginia or did you move away?

Thanks again for all the welcomes. Happy to see such an active forum.
I’m a little confused about something, if someone could explain. I think I saw something discouraging the sale or search for cars or parts for sale, but I see some posts that do just that. Not sure how to process this contradictory information. Are there any clear guidelines on this?
