Awesome Thanks! Would love to see the rest of the car! Also take a pic of the top of the steering box where the adjusting screw is if it a manual steer car. I would love to see that.

thanks,

Jeff, it’s a power steering car. I’ll ask him to post more pictures.

I picked up this 1970 super bee yesterday. It is a one family owned car since November 1969. It was sold new at Reedman in Pennsylvania. It was parked in late 1978 and the engine was removed. Since then the car sat in the garage. It is a low option car, and never modified. Never had headers, never had an aftermarket radio, so on and so forth. The fender tag shows in SPD of 929, and the door sticker is 10-1969.

Great buy Ed. Even the reverse lockout linkage is still there.

My 929 SPD Bee. Sadly, the door tag was removed when the changed it to resale red in the 'late '70's. Very close to the OP's Bee.

2 - 3 day window for the assembly of a car at Lynch Road from Body-In-White (BIW) to the end of the assembly line depending at what time of the day it was started in BIW. The Winged Warriors Lynch Road assembly story states "Two Days" from BIW to rolling off end of the line to head to the delivery truck or train car.

From the WW LR story:

The Lynch Road Plant consists of six major areas of assembly, each of which functions as a nearly-independent mini-factory.
•Metal Shop = Body-in-White (BIW): assembly of complete bare body.
• Paint Shop: metal preparation, painting.
•Chassis Department: Engine "dress," mating of engine-transmission-rear end assemblies.
•Trim Line: Installation of body mechanical and electrical parts and sub-assemblies.
•Final Line: Glass, interior, final details.
•Car conditioning: Repair of completed vehicles, misc. tasks.

It will take two day's construction from Metal Shop to loading a running car on a transport truck! The very long assembly lines move slowly and steadily.

I've been working on a number of "Actual in-Production Date" calendars, but '70 Lynch Rd. isn't one that I've spent much time on.

Here are 10 Coronets from Lynch Rd. with a 929-"Scheduled Production Date" & the dates I've figured they were actually "In Plant/In Process". At this point (with Lynch Rd. data) I have not taken into account any Saturday work or any stoppage for any reason. Anyone have access to a UAW contract or calendar from Lynch Rd. (or other plants) from the muscle car era?

Ed,

Can you get a couple of close-up pics of the reverse/lockout linkage?

Thanks

they aren't quite results, a hypothesis - maybe, still need more info (see above) - I've figured out '70 St. Louis & most of Line #1 at Hamtramck, Lynch Rd. would need 100s of hours put into it to get "0A" better than the above "smaller than a ballpark-snapshot of 929" but it is getting close - then there's the other plants/other years realcrazy ..... I'm using anything I can get my hands/eyes on
