It was a race car all its life. Just wasn't cut up. So the Ohio low mileage car was in the shoot with this bee? I have several memories of this car...others in the family older than I have many more!
Unless two of them went to England? That is the car.

The reason I asked was there was a black A12 with a pewter interior that sold a few years ago. Just wondering if it was the same one.
There was an original owner Road Runner, hardtop, black with Platinum bench seat that sold out of Ohio not too long ago, it was an early build car.
Also a black hardtop Road Runner 4-speed with Platinum buckets that is/was in Florida.
There is another black Road Runner with Platinum interior and white top out of Georgia, but I've yet to find any data on it.
On a side note, of the 6 black Bee's known:
2 are coupes with black bench, column auto.
3 are hardtops with black bench, 4-speed.
1 is the hardtop with red bench, 4-speed.

I used to work with John, the Ohio owner. Nice guy, used to see him at Norwalk and dragway 42 in the 90's with the car...always one of my favorites...
Rich , when was that picture taken ? I have always felt that car had the wrong Bee on it when it got dragged out of that Ohio garage ... unless it had red on one side and white on the other ? Black on black should have had white and there is no real way of telling unless it is scratched on the broadcast sheet I believe ?

John, not sure when it was taken, but would guess mid 80's maybe? When I saw the car in the mid 90's it had the white bee on both sides. I believe when the car was restored, it was changed to red?

A little bit OT, but is there something unique to the A12 Superbees front suspension. The reason I ask, there is a guy in my town with a black 69 Bee and he says its an A12 because of the front-end?

Well there are just a couple of things that most all A12's seem to have but they are also available on Hemi B-bodies and come with axle packages and one small thing to do with the LCA that is a small "telltale" that A12 owners tend to keep in their pocket  But I don't see how anyone could see any differences without crawling under the car or being run over by it

And this is a photo of the Ohio ex racer Road Runner that you refer to, as I say currently in storage. We really would appreciate any history on either of these wondrous beasts.

I was not sure if there where two car? I only know of the Ohio car as I was told I could purchase it. Very nice car!
I do believe you guys have a 71 Six Pack Cuda I owned? I did make copies of all the original paper work if you did not receive it with the car. If not please let me know.

When I bought the car it had orig paint and the bee logo was white. I decided on the red bee when the resto was finished. I just like the way it looks with the redlines and the red sixpack decal on the hood.

I just went back and looked at the picture Pete put up in he condition when he had it, the red of the reflector for some reason made me think it had a red bee logo, it's actually white, the glare from the flash is playing tricks with my old eyes ... and memory, I could have sworn it had red ones way back??
Sorry for the confusion , I like them all black with white , but I'm biased.
I wish I could have purchased that car, to me it is the BEST Mopar to have ever rolledd off the line at Lynch Rd.
