A old friend sent me a photo of my old 69 Bee from the late 70's I never took a photo of the car and I didn't know any photos existed. I was excited to say the least.

Nice looking bee
I had a 69 Coronet too. It was a pieced together car but it was fun and looked good for back in the day.

Isn't it cool when someone sends you an old pic that you didn't know existed.
What color code is yours Dennis?
Y2. Sunfire.
I wondered. It looked lighter. Mine was Y3 cream.
It's been fading since 1988 when the straight enamel was put on.

Cream and tan is a rather unusual color combo for a 69 bee. Was she already repainted or did someone remove the stripe/bee logo?
The cream car looks like a coronet from the pic and the black car looks like a bee.
The Bee was original paint from what I remember. It had 60,000 miles on it back then. I wish I was into fender tags back then. It was a 383-4speed, fresh air car. Possibly a stripe delete. I don't remember any over spray or signs of the stripe being removed when I owned it. I hope to see it again one day. I have a friend that knows where it is.
The black car was a Coronet. It had a bee emblem on the deck lid. It had a blue drivers fender, a red divers door (with a tinted window from a a/c car), a 361 under the hood, and a column shifted auto with buckets and no console.
One of 6 as far as I can tell. Possibly a stripe delete. I can't remember any signs of a stripe on the car.

Nice! My 70 Bee is also DY3 cream (mostly original paint), 383 4-speed, fresh air car but no vinyl top, green interior and black stripe.
Best of luck finding her again!!

Wow, love the picture and it brings back memories! I am another guy that had a 68 Bee with 4 speed in the B5 blue. All the pictures I ever saw of my car were lost in a fire when my parents house burned. I have nothing to remember or show my sons who have heard of the car forever. Would love it if one of my old running buddies would show up with a picture of her as they rode shotgun many nights with me. Working on a 69 Coronet at present and hope to have her up and running by next spring. Thanks for sharing.
