iangilly Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) After seeing this barn find at last years MCACN show of this 1 of 1 pink 1969 super bee, I was chatting with the owner and he showed a few vintage pictures of the car as it was when new. I knew I had to build this odd car. Revell/ monogram kit was the base, revell 68 charger wheels and hubcaps, mpc coronet tires and harts parts resin for the hood and side scoops. Rustoluem pink was the base and then topped with 2k auto clear. Pretty happy with how it turned out and a nice change for this kit I've built a dozen times.

drodg Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 That is a great build but Chrysler's Panther Pink was only available in 1970 I always thought. So this car was built in a pink in 1969? I have never seen that. Anyhow you did a great job and I do love the wsw tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Great build. i am a big Mopar fan and even more so when they carry those crazy colors. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Great looking paint finish and body trim moldings. White walls seem a little odd, but if that was the way it was and you're doing a model of the original car than that is as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner said it was more of a pepto pink thank panther so I used the closest pink I had to that and I think it's pretty close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here old school pictures of the car, with the white walls and steel wheels, definitely and odd bird. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duddly01 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Very nice tribute build. Hopefully the real one will get the same treatment. IMHO it is too far gone to keep as a survivor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
