Dan,
Here are a few pics. It's amazing that this car is still around after all these years, especially since it was apparently wrecked back in '74 or '75. I've been gathering some info on it. I think it has basically been in about a 30 mile radius all this time. From what I've found so far a guy who lives less than 10 miles from me owned it in the '70s. I don't know if he wrecked it or bought it that way. I think he pulled the drivetrain and installed it in a '64 Plymouth or Dodge. The Bee then went to at least 2 other owners before I got it.

Amazingly, I am hopeful of tracking the original motor and trans down. Another guy I know bought the '64 with the transplanted 383-4 speed about 4 or 5 years ago. However he traded the motor and trans to someone. He couldn't remember the guy's name but he did remember where he lived. So, I'll check that out next. Wish me luck, lol.
Thanks for all the input,
Dallas
