This is me in my old A12 Super Bee back around 1986. I had just finished restoring it minus a few details (hood letters, wrong hub caps, etc.) and was doing a little "traction test" in the parking lot of the local Morman Church on Piner Road in Santa Rosa California (which was right down the street from my home).

Found some more, same car.

Yes I screwed up the hood letters but hey, it was my first restoration and I learned a lot doing this one!

No, details are far from "OE" correct, but back then I don't even think the term had been invented yet

2....Notice my custom gaden hose hood pin covers LOL!

Scott Great pics!! I really love to see the vintage stuff.
I bought my first Bee in 86. R4 coupe sixpack 4spd. I only have one pic. of it. Sold it in 87. Bought the V2 Bee that I have now in 93. This is from the 1st show that I took it too.

My Bee from back in 80 or so when a friend of mine owned it.

Looked pretty good for back in the day.
I have to ask, is the car on the A12 Registry or do you still have the VIN#?

I can't find the VIN at the moment but I did give it to Galen way back when and I'm pretty sure I submitted the info to the A12 registry at one point. Does Maple Leaf Mopars have an A12 registry? Seems like the site I was on when I offered the VIN.

It was a pretty oddball car due to it's extensive (for an A12 car) option list. From pics and memory it was a Hard Top, had PS,PB,AM/8track, Rear Defog, Bumper Gaurds, Vynal Roof, Tach, Buckets, Buddy Seat, Column Auto, Wood Grain Steering Wheel, etc. It was restored to original with no options changed or added. Other than side scoops, 6 Way Seat, and Power Windows, I don't think there was anything else it could have gotten.

I sold it to Bill Jurovich in Hollister CA, he sold it shortly after and I lost track of it after that (around 1988 or so). I recently asked Galen where it was and he said that all his records show is that it was "Totalled" and last lived in Conneticut.

looks pretty sweet. pedal dress up, must be kinda rare on an a12?

Was it a black interior or silver??
I assume it was black with the sun making it look silver.
By the way Good Job on the Resto and Nice car Scott.

Yes, black interior and yes, pedal dress up was OEM.

Scott you need to change the post heading to "A12 Guys WILL Enjoy This One!"

great pics! history,thanks for sharing

Founds some more old pics, anyone recognize this car? I think it was one that was for sale in Pensylania back in the early 90's, a 4 speed car if I remember correctly. Sorry, no VIN.
