I guess 'reminds me' of my car might be closer.
It's a w1, a12, 4 speed bee with a very hard past. And present.
Except for the trans, picked clean, play doh restoration and shot black probably in the early 80's.
I bought it sight unseen in 99 with the intent of beating on it until I break it and am pleased to say I've accomplished that task several times over.
Been replacing the missing bits as $ allows but 75k + restos aren't too likely. Need the dana now.
One pic at a12faq . com and here's one, both on the day it showed up.
The discs will be a nice upgrade and the ramcharger looks so good on the 69 bees.
