Jeremy, You need to let me know your mechanic! I may need something safetied without washer squirters!! LOL
They say it is good to want. I say it is better to have!! Love your Bee and wish it was mine even in its current state
Hub caps on these cars normally don’t do it for me. But, that look with black wheels and white lettering side walls looks tough. Very nice.
A gorgeous thread and all of them get my juices flowing. Amazing amount of love and hard work that is/has gone into bringing these icons back to better then original condition. Mine is still a work in progress but these photos really get me motivated! After 29 years in AK I am now in Denver and finally getting back to work on her!!
I found another view of my old R/T. Last I heard it went to Penn, then to Fl & now overseas in the UK somewhere.
Many beauty's here. Does anyone has a guestimate on how many '69 Coronet R/T's are still alive? From '69 production figures I remember there were less than 5000 build...IRC. I can only see a random one popping up here in Europe, hard to find. Sometimes you come across a 440, 500 or Super Bee but the '69 R/T (real one) does not show up on the radar here.
Coronet 440 with a 383, .....after 27 years in AK looking for a real BEE like I had in high school, this is all I could find. Has a 496 stroker with full Sniper from tank, distributor, coil pack to injectors. Swapped out for a full posi rear end and a 6 speed 4L80, carbon fiber dash with full Speed Hut gauges and am putting Ramm Mat in now for sound and heat insulation. The Ron Francis full wiring harness has been ordered for install. Wil be mounting the QA1 upper and lower control arms and 1.0 torsion bars this spring...trying to get her back together for a test drive!
Here is my work in progress. My main changes to it are body color from black to bronze metallic (an original 1968 color), auto to 4 speed, Ramcharger fresh air hood and ducting, front disc brakes, power brakes, power windows, fender turn signals, passenger side mirror, tinted glass all around, 15" Magnum 500's and headrests.
Built mine in the garage. Been back on the road now for about 3 years. When I first bought it on E-Bay (the wife loves Mopars) Recent pics
