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.

Had some rust but I recall it being pretty solid overall
Look at the off-set on the tail stripe and H-wheels

Marker light offset?
Most restorers center the tail stripe to the side marker light but most originals are off-set to the front of the car and not centered
This is the original stripe on the 5600 mile A12 Super Bee:

Found another pic. This was taken the day I sold it to Bill Jurovich (his yard in the pic). Actually I traded it for a 66 Hemi Satellite project, a rolling body that needed it all and a complete 68/69 vintage Hemi engine and trans to go with it. It was a fair deal at the time, A12's were going about 10K then. The car with the Road Wheels is another A12 car that he had at the time he bought mine, it was a Butterscotch 4 speed car, also a fresh looking restoration. I believe he sold both of them fairly soon after that.
That is very cool! Love the wheels! KID
