Barn Find,well shop find-1969 Dodge Superbee

[Scatpack]

After 2 years of trying to talk my buddy out of his Bee I called him this morning and made him an offer,He needed money so i bought his 69 Bee.I paid thru the nose but its a 69 number matching 383hp,4 speed superbee.Body is very very straight,does need to be restored and the only spot of rust is a fist size hole in the trunk.This is the same buddy i bought my 70 barracuda GC from 2 years ago.And ya i know
I will take pics this weekend.I paid 9k for the car but i think its worth it since a numbers bee that isnt eaten up with rust is hard to find for a decent price,Now the Chally really has to go since i hocked my arse to buy it.The bee has been in his shop since 1982 so its not all banged up

[Scatpack]

I guy her in southern IL bought a 70 bee pretty much as you described yours and he gave over 10 for it.  Sounds like you did OK.  Bottom line is, if your happy with the deal nothing else should matter.  Good luck with the restoration!

[Scatpack]

Thanks,I am sure I'm not the only one that has some type of buyers remorse.Not for buying the car but saying to myself after maybe i could have got it a little cheaper.I know many people have tried to buy the car from him over the years and he always told every one he wanted 12-15k.I just caught him on the right day when he needed money.

Not to mention the Bee this guy bought did not have original drivetrain.  You done Fine!

There ought to be a rule here that no one is allowed to start a thread telling stories about Mopar acquisitions without accompanying photos. It just is not right.

69 Bee is probably my second favorite car.  You did good.  Is it a Ramcharger hood or power bulge?

[Scatpack]

She must have been a power bulge hood originally? The reason is that she has the "383 Four Barrel" emblems on the front fenders. Ramcharger hoods had plain fenders and the "383" emblems on the scoops.
