My brother in
law helped me find this '70 Bee in South Dakota on Thanksgiving
weekend. It had
been sitting out in the trees on a farm for 7 or 8 years. It's a
383, 4-speed car - still has the
pistol grip shifter in it. I contacted the owner - who I
think had forgotten about the car until
I called. The original 383 was gone - replaced by a 400.
I offered him $500., and after
thinking about it for a couple of days, he didn't want to let go
of it. I found out later that
somebody in a bar overheard him talking about my offer and offered him
$1200. for it. He sold it to that
guy who bought it as a Christmas present for his son. Hopefully it'll
be brought back to life. -Dave
