I won't win an award for low mileage, but my black bee has 164,000 on it

Gary, that's because you

all of the decals on the windshield

To my knowledge the lowest Bee is the 5,600 mile R4 column auto that was found in the Detroit area a couple of years ago

---

Wait, let me go get my horn......................
My odometer on my A4 383 Auto '69 Bee shows 4400 actual miles. The car only spent 9 years registered for the road, then was stored for 23 years in a barn/garage in Pa. And then 5 more in my garage whilst I did some minor bodywork. It's almost ready for paint;the engine bay is done with fresh 1970 HP2 440 almost ready to fire up.
O.K., I forgot to mention that in the early 70's it had the 440, a 4 speed and a Dana 60 installed. Told to me by the previous owner who bought it in 1975 or 1976, I forget, but he's the one that did it and probably never hooked the speedo cable back up! Regardless, it can't have too many miles on it. It's been in Pa. all its life and there wasn't a single hole in the floor pan. Only three or so in the trunk.
Oh well, I'm gonna drive it like I stole it anyway, that's why I bought it.

I think that we are talking about A12 survivors here. I love those stories though! Since were on the subject I know two other low mileage A12 Bees that have both been restored. The first is R4 white int. white stripe that had 4,000 miles on it when it was discovered. The second is F5 Black int. black stripe that had 6,800 miles when it was found. Both have bee driven a bit now, but they were truely great finds! Mine had just 44,000 miles when I pruchased in in 93! Now it has around 70,000! As most of the A12 guys know the picture below is of my car just before the restoration.

Nice example! I think it's a new one too! This is a good example of how A12 cars didn't keep their original #'s matching motor very long! A lot of restamped blocks ut there!
