'69 Super Bee...Speaking of different color combos...

'69 Super Bee...Speaking of different color combos... - 12/14/14 09:01 PM

My first hot rod Mopar was a '69 Super Bee I owned in the mid '70s. It was copper with a tan vinyl top and tan interior. Over the years I have seen quite a few copper ones so I would assume it was a fairly popular color.

I recently purchased a project car (I said I wasn't going to do that anymore , oh well). It's another "69 Bee but it's white. So I was thinking about the old days when there were a lot of these cars running around and can't remember ever seeing a white one, although I admit my memory isn't that great anymore.

So, was white not that popular back then (for a Super Bee) or is my memory just not that great? The car also had a black vinyl top and a blue interior, which seems odd to me.

Here are the fender tag codes. I took a pic but it was blurry.
END
M21 N96 R11 V1X V21 V8X
A39 A62 C16 C55 J25 J45
W1 W1 M6B B7 707 461xxx
E63, D24, WM21H9G 30xxxx

The license expired in 1975. It was wrecked in the front and parted out. I'm debating whether to try to bring it back to life. I hate working on old cars anymore but I do like to drive them.....and I'm nostalgic for a '69 Bee.

I'll post some pics of the car when I get some better ones.
TIA for any input or discussion,
Dallas

"WHITE" is probably a middle of the road color. it seems there aren't as many 3-color cars (white paint/blue interior/black top) as mono-tone (all green, all blue, all tan, etc.) or simple two colored cars (any color with black/white top & interior).

The "spring special" Super Bee is an even "rarer" sight (V21 on N96, J45, D21, RWL), if it is not a total POS - restore it or get it to someone who will.

3 - A4
1 - B3
10 - B5
0 - B7
0 - F3
6 - F5
1 - F6
9 - F8
0 - L1

2 - T3
4 - T5
5 - T7
2 - V2
7 - W1

Re: '69 Super Bee...Speaking of different color combos... - 12/14/14 10:08 PM

GO BROWNS!

vinyl top cars:
green vinyl top - V1F (5 of the above): 3 are green cars with green interiors, 1 green car with black interior, 1 gold car with green interior
tan vinyl top - V1T (2 of the above): 1 is tan with a tan interior, 1 is tan with a black interior
white vinyl top - V1W (8 of the above): 2 are blue with blue interior, 1 is green with green interior, 2 are tan with tan interior, 2 are turquoise with white interior, 1 is red with a white interior
black vinyl top - V1X (19 of the above): 17 have a black interior, 1 is blue with a blue interior, 1 is white with a blue interior

Of the 34 vinyl top of 76 St. Louis Super Bee tags, the OP's car is the ONLY 3-color car & it's a 4-spd "SPRING SPECIAL".

IMO, a very unique car! GOT PICS?

I intentionally answered the OP's question for St. Louis ONLY, to maker it easier (on me) & to not skew the numbers because of the many (saved/collectable) bright colored A12 cars.
That being said, I only have fender tag info for 1 "99" paint code 1969 Super Bee & it appears to have been originally "pink".

I've got to run now but I'll try to post some pics late tonite. The car is definately savable, IMO, even though it will require quite a bit of parts accumulating to make it a complete car again.

I've seen A39 referred to as both 'Spring Special' and Scat Pack Special'.

As I understand it the build date is 707 which is way past springtime. Any ideas on this?

Thanks,
Dallas

Check out :

www.superbeeregistry.com

There's a "by the numbers" section that breaks down some of the available combos, including color. White appears to be one of the less common colors (at least of the cars registered) in '69 and especially so in '68.

Re: '69 Super Bee...Speaking of different color combos... - 12/15/14 07:55 AM

Dan,
Here are a few pics. It's amazing that this car is still around after all these years, especially since it was apparently wrecked back in '74 or '75. I've been gathering some info on it. I think it has basically been in about a 30 mile radius all this time. From what I've found so far a guy who lives less than 10 miles from me owned it in the '70s. I don't know if he wrecked it or bought it that way. I think he pulled the drivetrain and installed it in a '64 Plymouth or Dodge. The Bee then went to at least 2 other owners before I got it.

Amazingly, I am hopeful of tracking the original motor and trans down. Another guy I know bought the '64 with the transplanted 383-4 speed about 4 or 5 years ago. However he traded the motor and trans to someone. He couldn't remember the guy's name but he did remember where he lived. So, I'll check that out next. Wish me luck, lol.
Thanks for all the input,
Dallas

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.

I also sold a big block flywheel and bell housing (for $75!!). I'd hung onto them for about 30 years and never had any use for them . Sold them about a year ago, too.

I also sold a complete '69 383 HP long block (with intake) about a month before I bought this car. Thought I'd never need it either.......

Anyway, the right inner fender has a little damage down low on the front, but the left one seems straight.

Floors aren't too bad. The frame rails all seem to be pretty solid. The trunk floor is bad.

I have the instrument cluster for it and a restored set of clutch and brake pedals.

Back seat is still there. No front seats or console, though.

If I can't find the original motor and trans I do have a '69 b-body 4 speed with the original shifter and knob. At least I hadn't gotten rid of it yet........

I really like the car! However the engine and trans along with the rad support #'s missing will really effect the final value of the car. If you are doing for the love of the car it looks like a great project. White is pretty scarce that's for sure.

Re: '69 Super Bee...Speaking of different color combos... - 12/15/14 10:49 AM

None of them are cheap or easy to restore, but that's a great starting point & would be an awesome project especially if the original drivetrain could be tracked down.

& I'm a little so here's a new total (256 - almost 1%) with the colors from the St. Louis cars in the SUPER BEE REGISTRY :

32 - F8
27 - B5
26 - Y2
25 - T5
24 - R6
19 - F5
15 - W1
12 - A4
11 - R4
10 - T7
9 - F6
9 - Q5
7 - V2
6 - F3
6 - Y3
6 - Y4
5 - T3
4 - X9
2 - B3
1 - B7
0 - L1 (one w/red interior on eBay last week, but NO tag pic)

W1 dropped to 7th (F5, R6, T5, & Y2 passed it, not much of a surprise there)

Re: '69 Super Bee...Speaking of different color combos... - 12/15/14 11:18 AM

& out of ~60 with "good" paint/interior/vinyl top info, only 6 others are 3-color:

Y2 - blk - V1F
Y3 - tan - V1W
Y4 - blk - V1T
Y4 - grn - V1X
&

F6 - wht - V1X
V2 - wht - V1X

Here's the description of the A39 package on a '69 Super Bee - they were introduced in the spring and would be available until the end of production. This ADSN (Advance Dealer Shipping Notice) calls it out as "SPECIAL PACKAGE - SCAT PAK SPECIAL" MSRP $241.75, window sticker may have spelled it out differently.

includes:
vinyl top - V1_
RAMCHARGER hood - N96
3-speed wipers - J25
hood pins - J45
special hood paint - V21
fiberglass tires F70-14 - T87 (Polyglas w/RWL)

this particular car WAS also a W1 coupe (WM21, E63, D21, M6W, C16, V1X, V8X) SPD 617 from Lynch Rd.

Thanks for all of the response and info.

I'm going to trace down a lead on the motor and trans. As I mentioned I believe I knew who had them less than 5 years ago. When I found out about them someone had already made a deal to get them. Wish me luck lol.

Posted By: DPelletier

Re: '69 Super Bee...Speaking of different color combos... - 12/17/14 05:43 PM

Great options, looks very solid and the front end damage is relatively light. presence of a FT (to me) showing the options make it worth doing. Finding the #'s motor and/or broadcast sheet would be a bonus. Bummer about the rad support but as long as the trunk lip numbers are there that isn't fatal either.

good luck

Dan,
I to your number crunching abilities! Interesting info from everyone. That's one thing I always liked about cars from that era, you could option one anyway you wanted to.

I have to do some more digging on finding the motor/trans. I thought I had the phone # of a guy who lived in the area they went to, but I haven't found it yet.

Unfortunately the b'cast sheet had apparently became mouse bedding long ago...just one tiny piece left.
Thanks again for all the replies,
Dallas

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

Why is it an unusual color combo?

Anything will match white.

To me, "unusual" is a blue interior in a red car. Am I missing something?

'Unusual', not usually or commonly seen, in this case, this particular combination in a 69 Bee.
To quote Dan in an earlier post, "Of the 34 vinyl top of 76 St. Louis Super Bee tags, the OP's car is the ONLY 3-color car & it's a 4-spd "SPRING SPECIAL"."
As shown above, I had a '71 Scamp that was white with a black top and a blue interior, which I would suspect was more common in a a-body.

A blue interior in a red car could be called 'odd'...or 'unusual', if you prefer.

Re: '69 Super Bee...Speaking of different color combos... - 12/31/14 02:15 PM

The special hood treatment on a 69 bee means that the hood scoops were painted flat black instead of body color.

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
(Numbers are courtesy of Marti Auto)

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

Unfortunately, you are probably right. It was purchased years ago as a possible engine donor, the guy didn't realize it was something special at that time. He since found out what the car is, but the tree fell on it so it's probably too far gone to be worthwhile to bring back.

It still has the 440 hp engine in it (and the trans). The interior is missing the bucket seats but still has the console. And you are correct, it is GF7.

The owner is thinking of letting it go so I may try to get it if possible. Not sure what I would do with it either..lol..

Re: '69 Super Bee...Speaking of different color combos... - 03/03/15 12:11 PM

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

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.

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

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

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

"C-Body dry dock" would be a good place to start.

FCBO has more activity nowadays compared to the dry dock

I like the scoops better though, especially since my first Bee had them.

I'll be talking to the owner again. He is considering letting it go, I think. It would be nice to see it restored. It has quite a few nice options.

I'm a member of FCBO but haven't posted in quite awhile since I sold my last c-body over a year ago.

Hi Dallas,

FCBO has at least a lot of activity even though they usually stay rarely on topic.

But it might be worth a tray for the SFGT

The N96 hood on the '69 and '70 'Bee's are one of the reasons I prefer SB's to RR's.....and the N96 twin scoop hood is much nicer than either the '69 standard hood or '70 power bulge hood IMO.

I always prefer the N96 hood on the Coronet/SB

Wow. Cool car. If you decide what direction you want to go with it, I may have some parts left from my Bee that may help. (8.75 for instance.)
I had a '69 R/T that was X9 with a white top and stripe and a blue interior.

Thanks for the offer. I'll definately keep it in mind if I start working on it.

Love the color combo on the R/T! Do you have any pics of it?
