My dad and mom ordered this car new and was delivered to Tekoa Motors Tekoa Washington. I do have the original Edlebrock intake and six barrel Holley carbs. My dad had removed them around 1972 in favor at the time for a Holley Dominator. He sold the intake set up to a friend who had it in his Garage until I was able to acquire it a couple years ago. Last I understand the car had been sold to somebody in Canada in the early 1980's. It was purchased from a gentleman named Wayne Hansen in Spokane Washington around 1983. It was painted White at that time. Any information on this would be appreciated. If the car has been damaged or parted any of the remaining parts Engine Trans (Automatic) Hood, shell, etc I am interested. If the car is not for sale I would like to still provide my contact information if it is to be sold in the future. Please any help would be great. Thanks, Dave JR

The car may have been scraped shortly after. That said I have not confirmed this a 100% yet. I would be interested in anything that is still around. If the car was scraped could it be in a yard rotting away somewhere who knows. I would love to recover anything I can. I do have the original intake and 6 barrel carbs original to the car. My dad removed them around 1972 or so and replaced them with a single 4 barrel. They have sat in one of his friends garage all this time until I was able to get them a couple years back. I have been on the registry looking and posting also. Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately you can't tie carbs and intakes to specific cars, only if the date code is correct for the car, the only thing you can tie to a specific car is the motor block and trans 69.5 A12 Bee, first purchased in 1976, car 169 on registry 69 Coronet R/T 440/4 spd 69 Coronet 500 Conv H code 383 4bbl/auto 37 Plymouth PU Find your spot on earth and ride it.

F3 with a saddle top and interior and only 1,500 original miles!!! I still have that magazine article somewhere...... Last edited by Stewpar; 02/16/14 01:55 PM.

One item I noticed on these cars is the aluminum Edelbrock intake is painted. As I recall the intake on my Dad's A12 was not painted. However that was back in the early 70's. I do have that intake as he removed it before selling the car around 1972. It has been in his friends garage all this time and is not painted. In discussions with people I was told they had seen a few unpainted. Could be guys just stripped them for that aluminum look back in the day. Thanks for the pictures. Dave Jr

We've seen a few examples that don't appear to have ever had any paint on them. There were some cracking issues, so it's possible the intake was replaced at some point early in it's life.
