completely out of no where, and with zero words to explain, I was sent two photos, and one is my 69 Super Bee when I drove it from Michigan to California in 1995. The other is sorta what it looked like when I bought it in 94


Above, Candy Apple red, which I paid for in 94, new Weld rims, new tires, new vinyl top, but I couldn't afford the back bumper replacement, and replacing the crummy exhaust, not after the engine rebuild, trans rebuild, rims, tires, and e brake cable (was cut off when I bought it). I replaced the bumper (some previous owner painted black) and the exhaust, the 2.76 gears, (with 3.23 posi) and the leaf springs with some out of a 69 Coronet Station Wagon (6 or 7 leaves per side, vs 5 that a 383 Bee came with. Super Stock were 5 and 6 on opposite sides, the wagon springs were STOUT!) new steering gear that was rebuilt, and front disc brakes I had rebuilt. Plus I added 906 heads. All in 5 years. That car was doing real good when I sold it in 2002, but it was rusting out, since it was from Michigan
