Hey guys, it's been a while, but I'm ready to share my newest project. I've always said an A12 or Hemi car with decent documentation(build sheet, fendertag, or both)would be my pinnacle as far as where I started from to that point of procuring one of those two options.... Alas, I found myself in a situation that I could. I have sold the 70 FJ5 Challenger that I had and the other 69 Superbee project I started a year and a half ago.... Now I own the V2, 4 speed, A12 Superbee that is #429 in the liftoff hood registry. I wanna thank Rich for working with me and allowing me to purchase his project. I do have an all A12 powertrain for this car...both motor and trans have come from two different A12 RR's. However, I'm not gonna be putting those items in the car just yet! I'm gonna have a little fun before any serious efforts will be put towards a concourse resto.... I will be using my 472 Hemi with a six pack intake and my Passon A-855 5 speed trans with the Dana 60 4.10 axle. I'm upgrading the suspension and brake systems as well. I'm also gonna run an electric fuel pump and tank assembly from Holley(very nice kit might I add)... I'll be posting some progress pics as well as photos from the acquistition of the car from Rich(HotRod20). Stay tuned!!!! Pre Resto shots

Cool project! I regret selling my A12 Superbee 4 speed car, right before the values of them went through the roof!

Looks great! Curious as to why you went rear drums when the fronts are not stock?

Thanks!!! I have no issues with drum brakes for what I do.... no racing, maybe an occasional trip down the strip, but that’s rare. I do a lot of playing on the street, but that’s it. I’ve had this type of brake system in numerous cars and it’s never disappointed me. I like front disc rear drums, myself. I’ve kept all the original stuff, but I’m not a drum all the way around fan.... just my personal preference.

Hemi A12 Bee,
I love that cartoon caricature A12 poster in your garage. Would you please tell me where you found it? I would like to display one in my garage.
Thank you,

Thanks man! Always enjoyable to finally put faces with Moparts handles!!! It was great meeting you and your wife! If you get word of any good cruise Ins give me a shout. I’m not much on car shows but I enjoy cruise ins.

The fact that you found your original block to make your car numbers matching is amazing! How did you find it ? Did you know a general location or did it come from the person who sold you the car ? Did you put out a want add or something ? Can you tell us more of the story? Heck of a restoration !
