Well Its been about 8 months since I posted on here. Have been busy working and so on. Just life in general like everyone else I guess.
Sold the 67 R/T that I posted on last year to try to down size a little. Also sold a petty blue 72 340 rallye charger project. While selling a guy some parts I found a car that I really wanted and had to get rid of a lot of parts that I have been hanging onto for many years as well as the 69 383 4 speed super bee that I had. I was able to make a deal for the car after liquidating quite alot of stuff to make it happen. I have been busy working on it to do odd and end things to make it run better as it had set for a long time with little driving. The car was last restored in 1983 so its been a few days and has only had about 8,000 mile put on it in the time. I hope to be close to being able to enjoy this thing before long. The car was bought new at Bitzer Dodge in Salem,Il. It stayed in that area pretty much until it was sold in the early 80's then went to the Fort Wayne,In area. I was able to track the cars owners back to the original through some very good help and some old registrations that were in the glove box. The original owner had this blue hemi super bee and his brother had a red 69 hemi 4 speed super bee at the same time. It is originally QQ1 blue, blue interior, black stripe. Its a 426 hemi automatic on the column car. When the guy restored it in 83 he said he wanted it to look like the car on the 1968 super bee ad poster so he did it white with black interior. The car is non-numbers matching, and I hope maybe one day I can find the engine and trans. The second owner spun a rod and the engine was pulled. Then the car was sold without the engine and trans so the rest is history. I did hear from the third owner that the cars engine went into his 1970 B3 blue hemi roadrunner that was eventually sold to someone in New York. He also said he sold the original trans years later at the Mopar Nats in the late 90's. The last of the vin is 8G274085 in case someone might have a 68 hemi engine or 727 trans they want to check to see if it is the original engine or trans. I am going to post some pictures from when I bought it up through the other day. Also if anyone might have any info on the car please let me know. Thanks, Matt
