'Unusual', not usually or commonly seen, in this case, this particular combination in a 69 Bee.

Okay, gotcha.

FWIW, I don't think "unusual" or "odd" characterize this combo. To me those words imply something that doesn't match or, at the very least, aren't a factory recommended combination.

Even with the vinyl top.

Just for $#i+s and giggles, I went through 1969 Mustang fastbacks ("Sportsroof") in white with several interiors. Here's the breakdown by interior color:

Wimbledon White - 8,597
- black - 935
- blue - 727
- red - 1,320
- ivy gold - 170
- nugget gold - 163
- Decor black - 2,212
- Decor red - 1,981
- Decor white - 385
- Hi-back knitted black - 95
- Hi-back knitted red - 52
- Decor knitted black - 74
- Decor knitted blue - 26
- Decor knitted red - 63
- Decor knitted ivy gold - 19
- Decor knitted white - 51
- Decor knitted nugget gold - 6
- Decor Hi-back knitted black - 294
- Decor Hi-back knitted red - 19
- Decor Hi-back knitted white - 5

I realize this isn't necessarily analogous, but I'm not finding any of these specs unusual - some just rarer than others.

BTW Dan, this is sitting at the place where I got the Bee. I thought you might find it a bit interesting.....

'71 Sport Fury GTs are pretty few & far between, that one looks a little worse off than the Bee, can you get VIN and/or fender tag info from that one?

I am scared the probably GF7 green 71 Sport Fury GT will die

if it is still complete and matching it might be worth resto for someone. Just for the labour of love not financially. But it is a rare car with only 375 built for the US.

If you finds a regular 70/71 Fury with a Sports roof you can cut of the metal parts needed to fix the roof damage from the tree

Needs some soap and water, lol. It was sitting in the trees when I got it.
I got a rear end with it but I think it's out of a '67. I may have to rob parts from the '68 Coronet 500 in the background of the first pic to fix this one. I kind of hate to part the 500 out as it's a yellow 383 car with a black top and white interior.

Interesting topic. Have fun with you project. I kinda like working on cars less these days too, but it's the only way I' ll get to drive one.

I have a 68 500 in the yard that I have had since the early 80's.
It was origanaly white with a blue bucket seat interior.
Unfortunately the wisconsin winters have been hard on it.
Hopefully it will be usable in the not too distant future.

I sold a pair of original hood scoops last year. I thought I would never need them......didn't plan on ever getting another project.

That's true. I've seen cars that were much worse than this one restored. I just don't have the drive to do one anymore.

It should be advertised so that it has a chance to find a new, enthusiastic owner.

Maybe go with a power bulge hood.
Today they are rare and the scooped hoods are almost too common.
