Help decode my A12 69 bee

Quote:

---

Hi, I am in the middle of rebuilding a 69.5 bee that was a drag car years ago and therefore is missing interior and a few other minor pieces. Being a former drag car it has extra holes in the floor for seats and the passenger inner fender.I am ready to patch the floor holes and want to make sure this was a bench seat car. Any way here are the fender tag codes, if anyone can decifer them for me I would be thankful.

13135 284727 9A2XXXXX
925 999 603
26 A12
8X
V2 V2 H2X X9
WM23 E63 D21 426 921116

Did all 6 pack bees have chrome exhaust Tips? This one looks like it did based on where the last hanger was.
Any one have a good picture of the Passenger inner fender so that I may see what holes are extra?
Thanks
Al

Oops, saw your VIN edit

Your bee would have the tips unless it was originally shipped to California.

Those are some good points regarding California's regulations. I'll be patiently waiting for evidence of a A12 that was originally sold in California.

Does anyone know of an original California A12 that came with or without the tips?

They are all supposed to have had the turn down pipes if being shipped to CA. If the car is in CA and has tips it may not have originally been ordered to a CA dealer. It will Bee on the build sheet if you have it?

I have the factory dealer invoice from the dealer it shipped to/sold from, Fremont Dodge, no where on the invoice is anything about deleted tips/Ca noise reduction package, plus I have the original tips given to me from the original owner and the original tip hangers are still on the car

I certainly can't disagree with factory paperwork! Maybe the A12 cars were somehow exempt as stated in an earlier post?

As I stated before I've seen the tip deletion on two sheets, but I didn't verify where the cars were shipped? Or maybe I miss stated and the tips were not deleted, but just not listed on the sheet as I believe they are for Bee's? I'm at work so I have no sheets to look at.
