Were the butterscotch A12 bee's that rare?? Mine was butterscotch also... Black vinyl top, 4 speed, bench car.... Take mine off the list. Guy who bought it from me wrapped it around a telephone pole a month later... This was in 74.

The numbers are from registries of known cars, any numbers or evidence of your former car?

showing some ignorance here but I thought we had no way of tracking such claims of rarity?

I only have one 440-6bbl car, so it is 1 of 1, it's the only one I've got!!

Correct, there are NO all inclusive records, only 1 of "X" in Galen's Registry, 1 of "X" in the A12 Registry, 1 of "X" in the T/A & AAR Registry, etc.!!

Butterscotch turns out to be one of the most common colors, great find though.


I can't afford this. mark

The guy is claiming it's rare because of the butterscotch/coupe/auto/buckets/console combination. On my list of A12 cars there are 3 butterscotch/coupe/auto, but are all white bench seat, column shift.

This is a great story... Thinking you're looking at a 383 'Bee and next thing you know, it's M-code car!! Well, I'm assuming it's got a "M"...

Looking at the cropped fender tag photo, it looks legit with the A12 code and some of the other codes on there.

Of the 420+ '69-1/2 A12 Super Bee coupes built how many VIN#s do you have?
Of those how many do you have color/trans/interior info?

Mine stayed under the radar in broad daylight in a driveway. Had the standard Roadrunner metal hood on it. The Dana attracted attention one day and it got discovered.

The metal hood got put on in the early 80's by an older couple that had trouble seeing over the scoop and removing the hood. They traded the original to a junk yard guy for the hinged metal hood.

Dan, I have 94 VIN#s of the 420 A12 Bee coupes built. 68 of those I have the color/trans/and interior info, the rest are missing at least one of those items.

I saw one in Hollister California back in the 80's, Bill Jurovich owned it, all original, very nice car, butterscotch, black interior, 4 speed. That's all I remember.

Your correct, the one of one claim is due to the deluxe bucket seats and auto with console combination, not on the butterscotch color.

You mean the only A12 Bee with deluxe bucket seats and auto with console. Or only butterscotch one with that combo.

That's really pushing the numbers game to pump the sale or brag about a car.

Well let's break the numbers down from the A12 registry which are stated in this post.

Of the known A12 Bees in the registry, there are only 10 Butterscotch A12 Bee coupes, 7 4-speed, 3 automatic which are all column shift. Pretty rare already.

This is the only one found yet with an auto on the floor. This doen't take into consideration the console or the deluxe buckets.

The car is not for sale. No attempt to pump the car up as it can speak for itself. The numbers don't lie.
