More about this SuperBee from the owner:
Orig. owner, Center seat/armrest btw buckets. Have Orig (1969) vinyl top material, been cut and electroseamed by Legendary, ready to install after repaint. Purchased in Cheyenne, Wy 1969
Update: 8/1/2017: I purchased the material from a man in Ontario,Canada. My son saw a Dart with the Floral Top in a magazine 15 yrs. ago. I was fortunate to locate him and he had a roll, I recall he found it in California. The roll would do 4 or 5 cars. ( 1 on the swinger+spare, 1 to me, and 1 for a Super Bee in Canada). I was to send him pictures after completion but a mechanical issue developed; life got in the way; the passing of a loved ones; and some medical issues. I am hoping to amp up the mojo and get this done.This is a nice Bee not a pile of parts.
