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

yes , the now owner for some odd reason only thinks there were 5 or 6 butterscotch coupes built

I know of 10 Butterscotch A12 Bee coupes, 7 4-speed, 3 automatic which are 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"...

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?

Quote:

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.

---

Quote:

---

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.

It just occurred to me that I have been into A12's for a very long time and have never seen another buckets console 4spd with a radio delete, but I've never thought for a minute that my car is a one of one. This type of thought seems to come from people new to the lift off hobby. I've seen it a few times, but it has never bothered me. If we brake our cars down by all of the options as stated earlier in this thread there are going to be quite a few seemingly one off cars! Just because we don't see another doesn't mean there aren't more?

I understand this phrase that you cant delete an option is the new "IN" thing but, what do you call the plate that fits in place of the radio? isnt it called the radio delete plate?

It's not an "in" thing. Radio delete is an improper term and description. You had to order a radio as a either a stand alone option or within a package. Therefore, you cannot delete an option. You can only delete something that was standard like a stripe or heater.

The term 'radio delete" would be like saying a car was a PS, PB, PW, or tinted window delete car.

The proper common term is just a block off plate but if you look in the parts book, they are called a bezel.

I'm afraid that arguing the "delete" thing again is just stupid! My car has a Radio Delete Plate on the dash where my radio would be if one had been odered! Radio delete is just nice and easy to say and really not the topic of this thread, but thanks for bringing it up once again!
See you at the reunion! My car is the one with the radio delete plate in the spot where a radio normally is! Be sure to stop by and say hello!

I was going to ask if he had a Broadcast sheet ...

---

Nope no sheet, but it's been tracked back to the original owner and it did still have the original paint on it when I got it. It was really odd that noone ever bothered to put a radio in the car. I was the first to really look for a sheet and it was nowhere to be found. Contacted all of the owners and noone had it It did have a battery mounted in the trunk and electric fuel pump though. It was always somobody's toy and only had 44k on the ticker.

Even if it was an option, it's always been called radio delete. Even if you special ordered a car the salesman would always try to talk you into a radio just for resale value. IMO If you didn't order a radio it was the same as deleting it.

---

I like this!
I actually agree that the radio was not deleted, but I'm still saying "radio delete"! Now just because it bothers people! At least everyone knows what you mean and you don't have to explain it! Other than too the goofballs that keep bringing it up!

Doesn't matter if it was auto on column or floor when breaking down numbers.
With bucket seats, on the floor with console is more common than column, either doesn't count when considering 1 of XXX.
Going further than body and drivetrain is just an ego trip for yourself, since you don't see it that way, enjoy the ride.

So Kid, why not make it really special that your car didn't come with something? Call it an 8-track delete. Since the eight track was a more expensive option, 'deleting' it would be far better than just deleting a plain old radio.

And since the 8-track came with three speakers insead of just one speaker, you'd have a three speaker delete car too!!!

To steal a line from MCG..."How Cool is That!?"

and my other favorite MCG quote "One of None", "how cool is that"

(BTW, in 1969 I ordered my '69 road runner with an AM radio just to get the antenna, not the radio. I just couldn't see myself drilling a hole in the fender of my new car to install the 8-track and FM radio in the glovebox .)
