Definitely not my dream car, or one that I ever shed tears over, but this is one I SHOULD have purchased:
This would have been around ‘83 or ‘84 and I was scrounging around the local salvage yard. There was a new yard acquisition and it was a ‘69 Superbee. (Not a Mopar man, so I THINK that was the year) It was complete except for a front fender and the air cleaner. The paint was even great on the rest of the body, including the bee decals on the rear. 440 w/automatic, lemon yellow with a black top. The complete price for it was $200. Why didn’t I buy it? Because Mopar was not my brand. Still kicking myself on that one. Now remember this was before the big classic car craze. As comparison, I bought both a Ford toploader and a Borg Warner T10 for $55 and $50 respectively from this same yard, so all things were cheaper back then. Anyway, the Superbee had a tired engine, but I was recently out of tech school and it would have been a simple rebuild. Coulda, shoulda, I guess.
