I think that was a 1970 only thing.
There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama & people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.

My 70 Superbee has them, but I thought they were something you got if you joined the Scat Pack (meaning they were installed by the owner, not the factory)
No - they were put on at the factory. All "Scat Pack" vehicles were supposed to get them. Some got 1 per side, some got none.

You did NOT get them on your 70 Scat pack car if it was equipped with A/C. You got the Chrysler Airtemp decal on the passenger side only rear quarter window.

No factory installed decals in 69 but if you joined the club, you received this round style beee in 69. Got these from PCG and it is generally accepted most people installed them near the bottom front of quarter window.

My 70 Bee with a/c has them too (no a/c decal). Hmm... So anyways does a 1969 Super Bee come with them or not? Where are the experts?

70 and up scatpak cars has always been the consensus. I'm surprised some of the more knowledgeable guys haven't stomped this fire out yet. Correct if in error.
I can't afford this.

I would expand that statement to '70 ONLY!! except for "J" Challenger maybe?? Anyone ever see a '71 Charger or Demon with originals? '70-'71 Parts Catalog shows: 23-63-134 DECAL, Qtr. Wdo. Glass Scat Pack Insignia (J) - (W '70) - (L '70)The '70-'71 Parts Catalog also shown one pair of part numbers 3505 100 & 3505 101 - I thought there were 3 pairs (1 each for A, B, & E-bodies with the corner cut to match the roofline of the 1/4 window to aid installation). What does the '70 ONLY Catalog show? I have not seen a '69 Daytona with Bees in the 1/4 window & they were the last of the '69s to make it to the dealerships. & they also made the '70 Scat Pack brochure. There has been some discussion in the past that "stripe DELETE" cars recieved NO Bees, but until someone comes up with an engineering drawing showing and/or explaining the application instruction "the original FACTORY intention" as to which cars recieved Bees will be in question. They were simple & inexpensive to add or remove 40 years ago or today.

Dan what do you mean by this statement; are you talking about no bee on the 1/4 glass or on the tail? And are you talking 70 and + or no bee on the tail of a stripe delete '69 Super Bee too?

These were on a 71 Challenger convertible when I got it. Look original to me. I'm not the original owner so I can't say when they were put on

Bruce H's pink 70 Six Pack Challenger came with them. Those windows (and decals) are currently in my car, as he swapped them out for new ECS dated-coded glass in his OEM Gold effort.
Until total honesty is on the table, we're not even talking about reality...

I have a 70 Chall with air - Going check that one too.
It has the Airtemp on the right side - No Bees either side.
These were decals the workers were supposed to put on but s#@t happens.

Here is how I know it. Only High Perf Model&Engine determined a Scat Pack car. For '70 the Scat Pack cars were specific high-perf: Chally R/T, Charger R/T, Super Bee, Swinger 340 and Coronet R/T having standard engines of (340-4, 383-4, 440-4, 440-6, 426) 340-6 added later in year. For '71 Scat Pack cars were: Charger R/T, Super Bee, Chally R/T and Demon 340 having standard engines of (340-4, 383-4, 440-4, 440-6, 426). All Scat Pack cars came with the Scat Bee qtr window stickers and were only the high-perf model (ex: R/T's). Many non-Scat cars were built with or dealer added the high-perf goodies as options but they should not have Window Bees. For '69, I understood that there were not any Scat window bees. Cool things never die as I see guys putting them on their new Chally R/Ts.

My 1971 Challenger R/T does not have the Side window Scat Bees . Like another poster stated in an earlies post Stripe delete cars do not get the stickers. I do not know if this is true or not about Stripe delete 1971 Challenger R/Ts. I parted out an R/T Challenger and still have the side windows with its sticker on it.

My 71 stripe delete Challenger R/T does not have them either - but I think that is a coincidence...

Mine neither....and mine is a stripe delete. And I am 100% certain they werent't on there when the car was delivered to the original owner.
Do we have a pattern here??

Also, this is the best pic I have, but I don't think my former LA built A66 car had either the Bees or the airtemp decal. It was a very original / unmolested and mostly original paint car when I bought it

I just looked at an original but nasty 71 Super Bee yesterday and noticed it had the bees on both windows...they were closer to top though on this cars 1/4 windows. This was only reason I noticed them thinking wow those are high. Original unrestored car though. Added?

Nope - It has 8 holes on the intake and the only hole near the roof is in the owners head!
Black, stick - original paint.

My 70 Challenger had them. I was told it was a 70 only thing. It was about the only orginal thing I didn't have to fix or replace.
Question, did this come from the factory or were they put on at the dearship?
The factory

My old FJ6 T/A with Houndstooth interior and rear seat ashtrays had the SE style door panels...I always wondered what triggered that? I think the Cloth and Vinyl got you those door panels etc.

Yes, a cloth & vinyl or leather interior on a non-SE would get you upgraded door panels.

something to add to the mix.. my uncle has a very unrestored 72 340 demon with only 40,000 miles on it. that car has the scat pack bee in the 1/4 window. im pretty much %100 certain they are original. not sure on the SBD though.. Also, on dads 70 charger r/t a/c car, that had the scat pack bee and the airtemp decal.

A lot of those 8 Barrel E bodies in 1971 had stripe deletes. Goes for Cudas and Challengers. I will have to look into my information and see what kind of percentages I have on that stuff.
I have known of the 1971 Challenger I own for a very long long time.Owned the car since the late seventies. I know the original owner. I can never remember the car ever having the Bees on the Quarter glass, car has never been restored and always has been a drag car. So if this is true of 3 1971 Challengers with stripe delete,that do not have Bees on the quarter glass, it sure sounds like the two go together. Funny thing the 3 cars we are talking about are all 1971 Hemi Challengers. I guess people just did not like the stripes offered in 1971, Bill Board included.

Here is a picture of the car in front of the original dealership in Toronto(Rexdale) Ontario, Canada. Car is a Shaker car. I am not sure about Jims car.The Car has had the same paint scheme on it since the fall of 1972.Low milage Drag Car most of its life.

My '70 N96 383 Bee post car had 1 on the driver side. I was the third owner in '76.

I don't know if the A66 cars were considered part of the scat pack? I had a couple 70 340 Challs back in the seventies and they did not have the bees on the window. An interesting note, I remember taking the carpets out of my T/A back in 1979 and finding the bee decal backings underneath the carpet, thrown their by the line workers back in 1970. Cool.

Here is the engineering drawing from Chrysler. We just reproduced these decals because the ones that are currently being sold throughout the industry do not represent the originals. Along with the spec drawing, here is a photo of an original and our reproduction!

'70-'71 Parts Catalog shows: 23-63-134 DECAL, Qtr. Wdo. Glass Scat Pack Insignia (J) - (W '70) - (L '70)
The '70-'71 Parts Catalog also shown one pair of part numbers 3505 100 & 3505 101 - I thought there were 3 pairs (1 each for A, B, & E-bodies with the corner cut to match the roofline of the 1/4 window to aid installation). What does the '70 ONLY Catalog show?
Dave's post of the engineering drawing states:

Anyone know the translation for the "(S/O 3505100)"?

thank you & Tom
Do you have the similar engineering drawings for Charger & Dart (or any from '71 model year)?

When was the A66 nomenclature added? (see A66 thread) I see this engineering drawing covers the A66 cars w/V98 "stripe DELETE" - they should have "Scat Pack" Bees. Since V90 was a R/T OPTION there has to be a similar drawing for the STANDARD V60 & V68 R/Ts? & A & B-bodies.

I've got a 70 A66 Challenger that I have owned since 1979. It is an FK5 stripe delete car, and it has window bees. Before I got the car, it had never been messed with. I had another 70 A66 that I bought in the early 80's as a parts car, and it had window bees also. I don't know if it was a stripe delete car. All I remember about it, was that it was B5 blue and looked like it had been painted with a pine top!

Does that mean that the RT models with V98 stripe delete should not have the bees? (all of this pertaining to only 1970 of coarse.)
Notice the word "STANDARD" that is spelled out under the Bee drawing. It pertains to all models mentioned in the applications box for this engineered blueprint. There should be no models exempted that are specifically listed/called out.

The STANDARD stripe on a '70 Challenger R/T was V60 (OPTIONAL colors), so if it was ordered without stripes, the stripe DELETE code would be V68. V90 (OPTIONAL colors) was a N/C (no cost/no charge) OPTION. A66 was STANDARD with V90 (OPTIONAL colors), so if it was ordered without stripes, the stripe DELETE code would be V98.
Dave, What was "wrong" with your reproductions? How did they differ from factory applied? I'm convinced (until proven wrong) that the 3505100-1 were factory applied on b-bodies, 3505102-3 were factory applied on e-bodies & WAG there were 3505104-5 for the Darts. The 3505100-1 saw life as the service replacement part for all body styles since it was the highest use factory pair.
'70 muscle car "SCAT PACK" Dodges: a-body * 13,781 * Dart Swinger 340 e-body * 27,235 * Challenger R/T, R/T SE, T/A & A66 (#s exceeded projections) b-body * 28,458 * Charger R/T, Coronet R/T, Super Bee

There are differences in both the actual drawing and coloring of the decals. The service NOS replacements are not like the factory versions. Also, the engineered drawing I posted earlier was for E Body (B&J) illustrations only. It comes from a reference manual specific to only E body vehicles. I can't make a hypothesis or guess other than the documented facts I have access to. Regarding this subject matter, I cannot prove a negative! What Chrysler information have you documented that causes you to feel "convinced" about A & B Bodies using a separate part number?

My 1971 Challenger R/T does not have the Side window Scat Bees . Like another poster stated in an earlies post Stripe delete cars do not get the stickers. I do not know if this is true or not about Stripe delete 1971 Challenger R/Ts. I parted out an R/T Challenger and still have the side windows with its sticker on it.
My 71 stripe delete Challenger R/T does not have them either - but I think that is a coincidence...
Mine neither....and mine is a stripe delete. And I am 100% certain they werent't on there when the car was delivered to the original owner.
Do we have a pattern here??
Jim, what are the details on your'71. Is it a 6 pack with a hole in the roof??
MB
My 71 sixpack is stripe delete and it doesn't have bees.
The pattern continues.

That is exactly what was needed to help eliminate some of the guess work. Your drawing substantiates and proves what Dan conveyed in an earlier post. The "100-1" decal was most likely the correct decal for the B Body but also sufficient to use for the other vehicles as a service replacement. If anyone has an A Body engineering drawing it would complete the scenario. Thanks for posting that illustration!

Hi Dan! The posting of the B Body drawing might have opened a completely new can of worms. I don't think that my reproductions were necessarily incorrect! They may have been wrong for A and E Body vehicles. Dave Stuart and I both have the original Bees on our Challenger quarters and they look slightly different than the 3505100-1 (or B Body) part numbers. Could this mean that there were actually 3 variations as they pertained to the specific vehicles?

There are NOT separate decals and/or part numbers that differentiate A, B or E body vehicles.
I just wanted to clarify that I was absolutely wrong regarding the above comment. They DID use different numbers! Dan was/is on the right track with the different part numbers and hopefully someone can find a drawing for the A Body style Bees. I will check to see if Dave's car still has the original quarter windows.

Oh, I see now. V98 wasn't listed by the R/T model because V98 wasn't available on those cars. That makes perfect sense, Thanks for explaining.
So we'd need to see the V6 Stripe drawing to confirm that the window bee's should also be on V68 stripe delete cars.
Since the 1970 V98 stripe delete cars got the bees, then most likely the 1970 V68 stripe delete cars should have them also, but only the drawing would say for sure.
1971 stripe delete cars are a whole nuther ball game.
Did Faxon ever get around to releasing full sets of the E body drawings yet? (guess not, all I see on their website is 1969 stuff)

I can understand wanting to have a different set for each body style for use at the factory if the difference is the angle of the cut on the backing to aid in placement on the window.
I don't understand why there would be subtle drawing/coloring differences between the body styles, and I doubt that those differences were intentional. Were all 3 sets made by the same vendor? Maybe the differences are due to different print runs?
Regardless, Kudos to Dave for noticing the differences and providing us with matching reproductions.

They came on R/Ts and A66 cars in 1970 whether you had stripes, or not.

Hi Tav! The differences are not "registration" variances in the printing or a "different run" change. There are colors that are not printed in some areas of the NOS decal but ARE present in the assembly line versions. I will show these changes after we manufacture them so we can keep that "slight" advantage over our competition. I have no idea why they added the extra effort and expense to do this. While restoring these cars, I found this same type of redundancy to be evident with quite a few parts.
What will people choose? The NOS version that does not accurately represent the assembly line version or a reproduction that looks exactly like the originals?
Dave,
It's like you say "How much 'wrong' are you willing to accept?"
Now that I know they wrong I'd rather spend the money to get ones that are 'right', specially since this is such a visual part.

That IS an interesting situation. I think a lot of people that don't know the difference would choose your reproduction because it's easier to find and probably cheaper than NOS (on top of your excellent reputation for quality). The people "in the know" would probably still choose your assembly line correct reproduction. Looks like you've got a good product on your hands. Thanks for going the extra mile to make it assembly line correct.
If you end up making a different bee decal for each body style, will you also cut the corner off the backing to match the window and aid in placement? (or to save you the work of cutting it, perhaps print a cut line so that the restorer can cut it in the right spot)
I suspect most of the people looking for the NOS version won't know that it's not assembly line correct, so It'll be important for you to have that info in your item description to increase your sales.
After that, I don't suppose very many people would want the NOS ones. Maybe if someone was looking for an aged appearance for a survivor (the kind of person that prefers yellowed plastic over white plastic). OR, Maybe if someone was doing a "day 2" resto where the original owner had placed the bees on a non-scat pack car. OR, Maybe if the NOS price dropped enough due to lack of demand, someone might use them for budget reasons... Just my rambling
I suppose some of the B body guys might still prefer the NOS, since it's correct for their car.

Another consideration..... These cars were driven when new in most cases. If you live in a state (or country) where you need an ice scraper to clear your windows to be able to see to drive, well, ice scrapers were not kind to these stickers. If your 1970 Scat Pack car does not or did not have them, stay warm.

All the bees I have seen were always on the inside glass of the car. Most will tell you though, it is not always fun having bees inside your car.

I forgot how cold it gets where you are Barry. I'd also bet a fair number of your dates were confused by one hand groping them, and the other hand searching the seat for a broadcast sheet.

Other than color & registration I see NO difference in the 3 Bees I posted above. What am I missing?? Does anyone have a clear copy of the Challenger engineering drawing Dave posted a pic of? What info is in the "REVISION" section?I find it interesting that the Challenger drawing originated in March of '69 (5 months ahead of production), where as the Coronet drawing was drawn in November of '69 (3 months after production began). Who has / Where are the V60 drawings?

Hello Dan! I will posts some side by side comparisons just as soon as I locate the original A Body versions. They may or may not be different from either the E or B Body examples. The B Body guys are lucky because their versions were used for the "default" service replacement items. I guess someone made the decision that the small variations were not important enough (or cost too much) to offer as a replacement. It may not have been an intentional/deliberate effort to print the slight variations. It could have been an inadvertent color change by the plates used to print them or even a vendor thing!
Do most of you want the slight changes to choose from? I am close to buying over 300 of the NOS replacements for the B Bodies (3505100-1) if that is what the market wants. I would appreciate input from you guys since you are the ones we have the privilege to work for and serve! Give me your opinions and thoughts. Thanks.

Hi Alan! Some might choose the NOS versions and others the reproductions. It is always a good thing to try and accommodate everyone's wishes whenever possible.

An example of one diff beyond colors: Look at the helmet stripe in the photo I posted. one is black/white/red/black/white/red while the other is black/red/black/red/black.
I imagine that it is the law of diminishing returns to reproduce the minor diffs and IMHO unless you are looking for the diffs they are too close to notice.

Well that is it! You figured it out! You just can't hide everything from the really smart folks!
......or, the place I am getting them from has no impact on the market because they are not being offered for sale to the public. If I don't buy every single one of the 300 left sides, then I can't obtain the twenty right sides he has in order to complete some matching pairs. Imagine that!?! I have to buy 280 left sides that will not have a matching right side just to get 20 complete sets! You are more than welcome to provide the additional $1500 it will take to buy them all since you seem know so much about by devious intentions!
(You should watch what you publicly accuse other people of contemplating! It does nothing more than reveal YOUR thought process and personality traits.)

Thw "WHITE" you see in your original is either "bad registration" or "faded - loss of color".
A registration problem is evident (for white) on the outlines of the artwork and not in between lines of the main text. Since the "white" is a complete blanket background of the image, it is impossible to be absent due to a registration error. Only the outside border of the white would expose a registration problem for that particular color. On this decal, the white does not have image or artwork separations. The white is the last hue applied so it flows over the colored layers that have void spots or breaks in the artwork. It completely covers the bright vivid colors that are used in the decal. All reverse printing is done this way. Also notice the white lines in the tires that are missing in the NOS version. There are quite a few others variations I will post as soon as I obtain the other version.

have you ever bought anything from dave? have you ever checked out any of his prices on the items he does sell?
if you have youll know that NONE of his prices can be considered high.
if you dont believe me go ahead and compare the items he sells to others, his will be lower or on par AND we havent even discussed quality and correctness, which ECSs products arent equaled for quality
the govt should feel lucky dave isnt in the money forging business, as im sure he would get that correct too.
im not here back slapping dave just cause hes a friend, but as a consumer of his products who has used his stuff before.
if you think he is trying to drive prices up or make an extra buck think about the transfers he makes that some use on things like vin tags, (hope i worded that right)
it used to be a nightmare to get that transfer, it couldnt be easier, cheaper or more correct than ECS makes it to get one
the mopar market is a small niche hobby based market for dave (he supplies new car manufactorers with their decals if that helps put it in perspective) and as crazy as it sounds id bet hes probably more in the mopar resto decals as a challenge than a money maker
lets just be thankful that daves puts the effort into making and suppling the items he does correctly for our cars, and not make accusations unless you have seen him prior do anything to "drive up" prices on his wares
thank you tony

I didn't say white had the registration problem & wouldn't white be the FIRST "hue" put down not the last as it is printed on the "backing" not the "face liner"?

It is just the opposite with reverse printing which is how these decals were printed. Think of it like this Dan. If you wanted to sign your name (in marker) on the inside of your door glass so you could read it while standing outside of the car, you would have to sign it in a reverse fashion. If not, it would appear backwards as you looked at it from the outside of the car. If you wanted to have a white background behind your signature, would you place the white before you signed your name or after you signed it? If you place the white "before" signing your name, the signature would not show up when you observed it from the outside of the car. The white is the last color printed on all of these decals. When you peel them from the adhesive backer and apply them, the solid white layer can be seen from the inside of the car . The adhesive is on the printed side of the artwork.

Now now, my comment would in fact be, a very smart business decision. Companies do it everyday, buy other companies or remaining stock just to remove it/them from the marketplace. All perfectly legal. Duh. Just because I might occasionally figure out how something works doesn't meant I'd actually use it, make it or exploit it. Shows 'my personality traits'? Please. Nor did 'accuse' anyone of anything. Go bully someone else. And, just to 'prove' (as if I need to) what a sport I am, I have a pair of the nos b body bees and I'll offer them to the first person to tell me they have a need and would like them. I don't need them. Even you Dave. I'll even pay for the stamp.
I can't afford this.

Dog gone it! I missed out again. I was going to buy your two decals, resell them for a small fortune and then go buy a Ferrari or something. If it weren't for you exposing my other manipulating scheme, I was going to be able to buy a Beach front home in Tahiti with the MILLIONS of $$$$$ I would have made from scarfing up those 300 little NOS window Bees and ruling the Mopar World! Oh well.....there goes Christmas for the kids. Why did you have to go and ruin my hopes for becoming a successful business tycoon?!

My bad! I'm looking at this thing as if it was similar to a "water slide decal" not a pressure sensitive "sticker". I NOW see it was built from the glass-surface-in.

Isn't that ironic? Your (above) statement was exactly what I thought when I read your view regarding my purpose for purchasing the inventory of decals. Remember this? "Or perhaps remove the NOS units from the market in order to drive UP the prices on the repops."
To answer your other question, I have no idea or opinion as to why this individual has so many of just one side. I don't make it a practice to criticize or judge any scenario without having at least some knowledge about the situation! (Where did I say that I was getting them from another "vendor"?) Maybe you could tell us why he has them all!

I find it very interesting that there are so many "NOS" ones of these decals floating around some forty years later... It's not like it would have been a highly serviceable part...If they faded, wore out or got damaged were people really that bothered by it to replace them forty years ago... Did the poor vendor printing them just run off a couple of extra thousand for the heck of it? They decide to sell them to re-coup some of their money? Did thousands of them find their way out of the assembly plants in lunch pails.... So many unanswered questions

I still can't find where I ever stated that I was getting them from a "vendor". Can you please point out the word "vendor" from the quote you chose to prove your point? Did you not understand the part where I said they WERE NOT offered for sale to the public? Did I really need to specify that they were coming from an individual who bought them (and stashed them away) many years ago? Would that have made any difference to you?
I apologize that you feel bullied by me RESPONDING to your initial and instigating remark. Don't expect someone to blow you a kiss when you start things off with a slap in the face.

Is someone seriously questioning Chrysler ordering one side far greater than the other? Obviously they have never looked for NOS Challenger side marker lights or headlamp bezels. Dave - Please post the Bee differences when you have the final set. Inquiring minds want to know.

I have used quite a few of the ECS decals and other "goodies" on some cars that I have restored. I love, what I call, "little stupid details". When you pop the hood of a freshly restored car and you see little decals wrapped around the harness and battery cables... they are easy to overlook, but when someone notices them, it makes the car that much better.
Anyways Dave, to answer your question... if I were to choose between the NOS replacement Bees versus the "factory correct" repro Bees, I would go with the correct repros. Just out of curiosity, how much would each set run?

About $10-$12 for both sides. The variations will not change the cost. (A,B or E Body) They will all "bee" the same price!
