Hey guys, it's been a while, but I'm ready to share my newest project. I've always said an A12 or Hemi car with decent documentation(build sheet, fendertag, or both)would be my pinnacle as far as where I started from to that point of procuring one of those two options.... Alas, I found myself in a situation that I could. I have sold the 70 FJ5 Challenger that I had and the other 69 Superbee project I started a year and a half ago.... Now I own the V2, 4 speed, A12 Superbee that is #429 in the liftoff hood registry. I wanna thank Rich for working with me and allowing me to purchase his project. I do have an all A12 powertrain for this car...both motor and trans have come from two different A12 RR's. However, I'm not gonna be putting those items in the car just yet! I'm gonna have a little fun before any serious efforts will be put towards a concourse resto....
I will be using my 472 Hemi with a six pack intake and my Passon A-855 5 speed trans with the Dana 60 4.10 axle. I'm upgrading the suspension and brake systems as well. I'm also gonna run an electric fuel pump and tank assembly from Holley(very nice kit might I add)...
I'll be posting some progress pics as well as photos from the acquistition of the car from Rich(HotRod20). Stay tuned!!!!



Pre Resto shots

Almost have the engine/trans, front suspension ready for the car.... which is in paint at this time.







More to come....

As it sits in bodyshop....

Cool project! I regret selling my A12 Superbee 4 speed car, right before the values of them went through the roof!

I like your style. Needs a couple things to get exactly the right vibe. Put the tallest and fattest tires you can on the stock rims on the back, with your favorite period correct aluminum wheel on the front. I like the old ET slots, or Cragar SS's. That thing is just screaming for a set of those old stamped aluminum race Hemi valve covers, especially the ones with the knockouts for dual plugs. You know, the real circa-1973 street fighter vibe. Nice piece of iron.

Thanks, I'm running 15x8 steelies with 275/60's in the rear and using the 15x6.5 with 225/60's up front. I like how they fill up the wheel wells.

Update...
They are cutting in the doors and fenders, we have agreed upon a complete time frame of Feb.... Let's hope all goes well!!!! Pics coming soon.

Progress!!!!

More.....

Update.....







Next stage should color the rest of the car.

Love that color!

What a nice looking car! Love the combo and looks like it went to a great home! Keep us posted with pictures.

Thanks!!!
Update: managed to get the tank assembly together....

Very nice.

Car is painted!!!!







Now the fun begins, after I bring it home in a week or so....
I’m excited to say the least. Stay tuned!

Great build! Could you please share where you purchased the stanchions and wheel assemblies that you are rolling your car around on?

Thanks. US Car Tool sells them. Very nice pieces!

Thank you!
