Placed a wanted ad in parts and was emailed by a guy who lives about 20-25 minutes away. :o His name is Craig. Very cool guy. I traded him my bulge hood and a little cash. The hood needs a couple dings taken out and then a paint job, but I am happy. :icon_smile_big:

Awesome. My neighbor has a lime green hood like that. He wants 2 grand for it though and its in worse cond. than what you have. He watches eBay prices and the B/J auction prices, so theres his mentality more less. Hes high IMO.
Hey, you can hate the game but don't hate the player.

Nice score!!  :2thumbs: Do the emblems say 340 MAGNUM? Did anyone know the difference between the 340 and 340 MAGNUM?? Or was it just a different way of marketing between dodge/plymouth products??

I agree. That sounds more like a Ramcharger hood price a a completly restored and painted Bee hood.

Yes, it says 340 Magnum. I will be changing them to read 383 Magnum. I don't really know the difference between a 340 magnum and a non-magnum, if there is a difference.

Intresting also that you could get the super bee with the 340 , I thought all super bees were standard with the 383 in 1971. You learn something every day!

383 was standard. 340 was an option, only 4-500 340 Super Bees built.

Actually,no. I always had a bulge hood on the car. I put a post in the parts wanted section and the next day Craig emailed me and within a week it is in my garage. Got lucky.

Yep. And those are just some 14" Keystones on it that I have had for about 20 years. I still have the 15" Keystones in storage in the basement that I always had on the Bee when I drove it regularly. They will be going back on this car with some new BFG's this summer.

Thanks for all the thumbs up. I am selling my 69 and getting this car back in shape to roll will make me miss the 69 even less.

this is kinda off topic but would you ever consider changing your bee back to a 4 speed?

No, he's getting too old to shift.   :smilielol:   :smilielol:

Nice score!  Not to steal this thread, but there is a car in my town that looks just like yours.  I'll try and take a pic if I can today.

Actually, I am am pulling the 383 out of it and either rebuilding it or getting another motor. When it goes back together, the pistol grip 4-speed is going back in. I don't drive for a living anymore so I think my old legs can take it.

If it is, I didn't put it there. :icon_smile_big:

No. I have only listed it here and put a link on the CGLFC board. I also had it parked out front. A lot of high school kids looking. ::) It's nice they think it's cool, but I don't think they could afford it.
