Hello,
My story goes like this. In 2002 I bought two Mopars, a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and a 1969 Dodge Super Bee. I have worked on the T/A off and on for 20 years, and I finally took it for its first test drive just this past weekend. I still have a few things to do to complete the T/A resto project, but I'm now starting to think about the Super Bee. I'll post a pic of the T/A just for fun.
So for this forum, it's the 69 Super Bee that is the focus I suppose. The Bee is a 383, 4-speed sales order car. It's triple F8 green with bucket seats with a buddy seat and a black tail stripe. It would not have been my choice of color options if I were the one placing the order in 1969 (which is impossible since I was born in the 70s ;-)). Nevertheless, I still think it is a very cool ride with lots of potential. The Bee is really rough but has the numbers matching engine and transmission, correct fender tag, and a broadcast sheet. When I bought the Bee, it had a Dana 3.54 rear end and was missing the N96 hood. The only thing I have really done to the car in the 20 years of owning it is trade the Dana for an 8 3/4 and a N96 Ramcharger hood. Here's a picture from the eBay listing 20 years ago. And so it begins.
