Just incredible back story.. , massive massive amounts of hard work, and of course , $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Gorgeous. Great options, A-12 package four speed, console, 440 six pack tic toc tac, ralleye dash. Just awesome. Now that I'm over 60 years old, I just buy nice cars that are already done up. No time, just wanna get in and drive. Takes too much time effort and money to restore. Great job
A friend of mine ordered a hemi orange A-12 new. After only three or four months it was stolen from the parking lot at his work. His was a auto with a top just like yours and he is still looking for it today. He has some of the original paperwork from the car and insurance co. and has driven to shows all over the US plus looked online for years hunting for his old A-12. He told me back in the 90s that he will never stop looking until he has his car back.
These cars are my youth! I used to get rides to school in a white 69 road runner or 68 GTO or a 70 SS nova. And would do a burnout when they dropped me off! Catholic school was never the same!
I used to drive this car back in the '60s. My buddy had a 428 '68 Plymouth GTX which we used to race. Mine had a 383 also. We used to cruise all over the backroads in northen Ohio and Southern Michigan and it seemed like every young person had a fastback Mustang or a Barracuda or a hot Camaro. Sometimes we raced for money and one time I saw two guys race for pink slips! But I loved my car and it took me so many wonderful places. And the girls loved it.
Nice Bee . Every car has a soul . That soul is the stories of the people who came to own them . Where they went with them and what they did with them . Thanks for the feature
Great Car and story and the original owners son and daughter putting on the air filter was just the perfect finishing touch. Thanks for another very informative car video.
As a Car guy I like variety not just one manufacturer over another. Thanks for showing pictures of the restoration in addition to the story. A sincere car guy and car wife.
What a great story with some great guys and one hell of a car. I gotta say mopar had the toughest,meanest and coolest looking beasts of that era,great job.
Loved the video; great job by all who were involved. It's really neat to hear the backstories of these cars, and their owners as well. Excellent restoration; it was an obvious act of love and respect, especially to contact the original owner and let him be involved, and then to let his kids be there for the unveiling.
Great car and great story! Sorry to hear about the passing of the original owner but you can tell new owner is really passionate about this car which I'm sure the family appreciates!
The A12 Option gave the car a bad ass 440 6 pack, A833 4 Spd or the 727 TF trans, Dana 60 with 4.10 gears sure grip rear end, Police Handling Package for Suspension, heavy duty brakes, 15x6 steel black rims with no center caps and chrome lug nuts, and a Fiberglass hood with no hinges just four corner hood pins.
I really appreciate this story! So awesome to involve the original owner and his family. I too have found and restored a 69.5 A12 car (Roadrunner) and located the original owner. He was so thrilled to know the car was still around and that it was being restored. I sent him lots of photos. I had made plans for him to fly out and see the car in person, which nearly happened until his health took a turn and he's no longer able to travel. I wish the car was closer to him so he could see and experience it again. Nice job MCOTW for sharing this story.
I've seen 69 1/2 super bee A12's at car shows, with the hood suspended up in the air; I never knew it came like that, factory. I learn something new with every one of these videos.
..there is 1 of these here in New Zealand ..red ..white interior ..440 six pack Auto ..on trident mags ..its been sitting since 1980s apparently as the owner was deported back to Samoa ..man i used to see this as a teenager in the 90s ..pretty sad ending for something way cool ..thank you America 🇳🇿
I love every one of these videos you guys do but this might just be my favourite one yet, not only is it a great car but the story behind it is special too. It was sad that the original owner passed away before he could see it finished but what a great touch to have his kids come in and help put the final piece back on the car to finish it off, that's awesome. Great car and a great video, keep it up Kevin and team i love watching each week and hope one day to get over to the brothers museum when it's up and running.
I was an A12 owner from "81 to '88. Paid for it ($750.00) with pizza delivery tips I earned and saved for a year in a Baskin Robbins ice cream bucket. I was 17 at the time. Though I took good care of it, I drove it as intended, as did all the owners before me. Battle scars everywhere. It's hard for me to believe all these years later just how many bruises that car had to show for only 12 years of use before myself. If only an odometer could show how many drag strip passes, street races, clutches, tires.... And smiles, ear to ear smiles! Ah to discover horsepower for the first time in that car! An addiction for life. Hope it's still doing the same for whoever has her today. That car is out there somewhere....... RM21M9A285628
THEIR HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING BETTER THAN MOPAR WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICAN CARS. I AM A PORSCHE GUY FOR LAST 35 YEARS, BUT HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR 68 HEMI CUDA FOR 25 YEARS.MONEY IS NO OBJECT SO IF YOU HAVE ONE LET ME KNOW.
Just Google it. I just typed it in and found a couple for like 60k. Btw in 68 they were all still under the barracuda name they didn't start calling some of them cudas till the next bodystyle
I followed the build of this car on the yenko.net sight. Then I got to meet Dave at MCACN and talk to him about the car. He's a great guy and a lot of fun. I was watching as the son and daughter put the air filter back on. I'm following the build of his '68 Mustang GT now and I can't wait to see it at MCACN this year. His work is amazing.
Oh my gosh absolutely awesome Remember when and people used to actually be able to afford cars, And even cars like this thank you corporate America for nothing, sad SMH
Great story Great new owners that clearly put in the time and enjoys the entire! experience. And the respect for the original owner was really something to see- Thanks. Convinced that more channels should step back with original owner stories / components of their current or recent build. Usually "cooler" than those that exchange $ over sweat equity and street cred. for inclusion in a shiney new owners club... Not always possible-, But back in the day, those guys and families were different- To look over and see one of these racing or sitting at a light in the 60-70's you just knew those guys were way into cars... and maybe also raced semi- professionally at local tracks and were often connected to the best local mechanics, fabricators and speed shops. Verses some of the stiffs at Barr Jac. auctions that never! have or will wrench on, or race a performance car. Often just, well silly to watch that giddy nonsense. Sure the value keeps climbing...we get it and here that over and over again... $$$$$$$$$$$$$ It is big business. And the industry involved in restorations is very sophisticated. These cars do have real history - way before sitting under bright lights, and still have four wheels that should touch blacktop once in a while.
The guy who said it looks like the general lee it never came from the factory like that I would like to see the color of the chargers before they were painted orange 🍊
A12 cars are arguably the greatest muscle cars ever. The story makes this one even better.
We were so spoiled to grow up in the 60's,where cars were like this all over the country.Awesome "B" Body
and then i'll probably will never own a V8
Awesome that the Bee was restored out of one man's passion and not flipped for a profit!
Beautiful story and a very beautiful car . Congratulations .
This period of time produced pure automotive art
MOPAR FOREVER !

BulletSpoung what sad cameras anything
BulletSpoung hey what is better looking a 1969 roadrunner or a 1969 super bee also if is a superbee a a12 or a 502 superbee
So Sad but lovely story thanks Kevin Again
These cars are my youth! I used to get rides to school in a white 69 road runner or 68 GTO or a 70 SS nova. And would do a burnout when they dropped me off! Catholic school was never the same!
Is that thing freaking sick or what? Its gorgeous!

@CC Ryder Can't get enough of those muscle cars. Their look has withstood the test of time. The Super Bee and the Hemicuda.
That was a little know joint venture between ford and mopar it was almost as popular as the 340 six pack mustang
They did a fantastic job on the masterpiece
Nice Bee . Every car has a soul . That soul is the stories of the people who came to own them . Where they went with them and what they did with them . Thanks for the feature
You're so full of shit!! 😂 Lol
Wonderful video of a beautiful car. Good job on the interview, you let the guest speak without interupting.
What a great story. I respect what he did with this car so much. The 69 1/2 Super bee and Road runner to me where the ultimate muscle cars
What a great story! Love that car.
Great Car and story and the original owners son and daughter putting on the air filter was just the perfect finishing touch. Thanks for another very informative car video.

Great Story, Great history, Great Car!!!
Great story on an awesome car.
Friend of mine just bought a damn near perfect survivor found in a garage. Its gonna take the mopar world by storm.
Loved the video; great job by all who were involved. It's really neat to hear the backstories of these cars, and their owners as well. Excellent restoration; it was an obvious act of love and respect, especially to contact the original owner and let him be involved, and then to let his kids be there for the unveiling.
Thanks for doing this, and providing a commercial free experience! This channel has some of the best posts about muscle cars I've seen. Keep it up!
..,...,!
The 69 1/2 A12 Roadrunner/ Super Bee is my all time favorite muscle car. Great car for both the street and strip
So are you like 9?
Absolutely such a great story !! Excellent restoration.
Way to go, Kevin! Excellent car, & story. Pure gold. Keep it up.

Really enjoyed the story behind this car,
Dave really did right by this awesome Super Bee.
Watching his kids put the air cleaner on that car made me cry happy tears.
Great car, great story, great video thank you.
Please do more of these profiles. This is an amazing story.
Excellent job, the car and story may survive many generations to come .
Great car and excellent story. Spoke to Dave @ MCACN and he was like a kid in a candy store talking about his Super Bee. Great job as always Kevin!

That is fantastic, The other night at the track, I enjoyed watching a 73 challenger run more than my 18 challenger T/A.
Beautiful car.
Beautiful in all respects.

Not only the best story I've heard in a while,presented the very best. Love your videos !
That was too cool great story
My Own Personal Adrenaline Rush 😄
Kevin that's why I love muscle cars is because there's no unnecessary junk on the engines you don't need all power
I tip my hat to the CORRECT restoration!
Inspiring. Truly great story.
Nice Mopar!
Has to be one of my top three favorite muscle cars. S/S Dart, 70' Hemi Cuda, A-12 Super Bee/Roadrunner.
Another great video!!
Beautiful car nice restoration nice in the Hemi orange love the power plant.

That's a chevy-eatin badboy right there, what a beautiful car....
Ha ha funny how dodge fans always trigger chevy
Mopar rules
How cool is that?!!!!!!!!!
If it wasn't for my divorce I'd still have my orange 70 Cuda'
Wow. Now only if all rare muscle cars were treated this way...

A-12, #1 Muscle Car! For performance & DURABILITY!
Great story, better car, I want!
Fantastic video 👍
Ok I was ready to gripe but your friend passing slowed my roll. Condolences.
Beater bee......AWESOME Spy car ha ha
Love it
Big Bad Orange from the day!
I’d be curious to know some of the “errors” that the car came with from the factory ‼️👍🇺🇸 Beautiful car & story😍
Mopar guys don't screw each other over.
Sooooooo much better looking than the 72.
One of my friends here in Lombard ILLinois owns an exact one of these ,This combo only 3 were made
i have the exact same car except bench with a 4spd.
Cool cars,cool stories, cool people, what more do you need? um.... oh,gas!☆☆☆
Another great story. Makes me wonder if my Dart Sport is out there somewhere. . .
Had a 73 Duster 340-4 speed. Loved that car
@@jeremythompson9122 bought my 340 used. It was red with black vinyl interior and automatic. Cherry Bomb mufflers 😲
COOL!!)
Great story
Great new owners that clearly put in the time and enjoys the entire! experience.
And the respect for the original owner was really something to see-
Thanks.
Convinced that more channels should step back with original owner stories / components of their current or recent build.
Usually "cooler" than those that exchange $ over sweat equity and street cred. for inclusion in a shiney new owners club...
Not always possible-,
But back in the day, those guys and families were different-
To look over and see one of these racing or sitting at a light in the 60-70's you just knew those guys were way into cars... and maybe also raced semi- professionally at local tracks and were often connected to the best local mechanics, fabricators and speed shops.
Verses some of the stiffs at Barr Jac. auctions that never! have or will wrench on, or race a performance car.
Often just, well silly to watch that giddy nonsense.
Sure the value keeps climbing...we get it and here that over and over again...
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It is big business.
And the industry involved in restorations is very sophisticated.
These cars do have real history - way before sitting under bright lights, and still have four wheels that should touch blacktop once in a while.
My Brother was the original owner.
Mmmmmm, mopar :)
Like his comment about the stories "Maybe some of them are true".
I have only seen one Super Bee.
It was owned by a 2 bit dope dealer in his mid 20s,that preyed on high school girls.
His day is coming
Is that JR. from king of the hill?
And how close does it look like the general lee?
Wow the backseat of that car I'm an ex union projectionist....did someone say "drive-inn" WOW
Years ago...a factory put these cars together...in a rush... but never this good
Steve Atwell didn't finish this car when he owned it????
How long was the restoration ‘ ?
its really a GTX
The guy who said it looks like the general lee it never came from the factory like that I would like to see the color of the chargers before they were painted orange 🍊
I wonder what the errors were?
original red wall tires squeal loud
