Welcome aboard!! Spring special Super Bees are very neat cars!! The tires would be Goodyear Polyglas F70-14 w/o the size in RWL. Moparts member "SmallHurst" sells the reproduction GOODYEAR tires. Auto or 4-spd? One item that is often missed is the "RAMCHARGER" scoops are painted black. & where are the pics??

Nice car. I have a few spring special bees. My survivor was featured in the Aug 05 issue of mopar collector's guide. PM me, maybe we can exchange some info.

Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

My A39 came as Y2 yellow ext, F8 green int, and V1T tan vinyl top. It was a true V08 car.
Nice color combo.... A buddy of mine had a 70 Charger Bright Yellow with a Green Vinyl Top & Tan Leather Interior... I didn't think anyone but the guy that special ordered the Charger & signed the factory waiver for the "Not Reccomended Color Combo" would like those three colors together enough to order a car that way... In fact when my buddy bought the car there was paper work with the car from when is was ordered showing the dealer required a $700.00 non-refundable deposit to order the car because they felt they wouldn't be able to sell it to anyone else... Fact is when my buddy bought the car the top had been dyed black... And the car looked pretty normal... Today someone would be sure to restore it back to it's original combo...

You will NEVER find an original RWL Firestone on a '69-'74 MOPAR!!

Thanks for the correction. 20+ years ago I read it was either Firestone red lines or wide ovals. I pretty much took them at their word. The owner's manual, the service manual, and the dealer's brochure do not mention brand, just size and style.
