70 superbee stripe code? - 04/06/12 08:22 PM

Hello, on my 70 super bee the stripe code is V8F. Is that the bumble bee or c stripe? Thanks in advance

Pea soup, DY3 cream with f8 interior and green stripe. So ugly it might of been cool.

Would fit right in with this R/T - DY3 - V1W - H6E4 - V9R what's your car look like now & what are your plans for it?

Right now it's a mild bracket car. I was thinking of selling it. Thats why I was looking over the fender tag again. Here's a pic.

If you sell it, please make sure the buyer understands it was built in a rare color combo.

Ok, I'll do that. Anyway to know how rare? Just curious since I haven't seen to many Bees with the green stripe.

This car looked impressive in person! Very attractive combo!

I know the color is rare, but I'm currently out of the country so I can't tell. No numbers for the stripe, but I suspect green is not as rare as we think. For what it's worth, the green stripes I've seen have mostly been green cars.

As mentioned, Chrysler did not keep numbers on stripe colors. I know of a Dart in that combo, but haven't heard of a Superbee like it.

Rest assured it will be only one you will probably ever see like it...

According to the info I have, DY3 is fairly rare with only 3 colors of the available 20 being less common (FJ6 - Green Go, FM3 - Panther Pink and BL1 - Beige)
103 of 13844 US sold cars or just less than 1% (.774%)
There is no information on stripe colors AFAIK.

beside my car I have pics of two other DY3 bees:



needs some TLC, but a strange combo: F8 painted roof, V8F, C16, C55

What's so strange about cream and green? It totally matches, and it's likely a recommended combo. I would LOVE to see that car restored correctly!

I think it would look good too. If you don't like "strange" how about "uncommon" 'cause it surely is that!

Thanks for the pics superrob. First time I've seen the DY3 and VF8 combo. Is that the correct shade of the ledger green stripe?

Re: 70 superbee stripe code? - 04/12/12 04:33 PM

I think the stripe of the unrestored car is faded by the sun. This is more correct I guess:



Diego, I would love to see the restored car too, was for sale several times on ebay a while ago.
