SUPERbee

Dad's new Superbee deserves a post all it's own.  Since I don't know much (anything really) about cars, the specifics of the car will be short lived.  But, a post of it's own none the less!  When my dad was, as he puts it "young, with hair down to his shoulders and making 2 bucks an hour" he had a car just like this.  I guess it is exactly the same, though the color of the green is a little off.  Anyway, he had to get rid of the car for reasons that I'm sure had something to do with stinkin kids and life in general.  Well, he found this car at the Barrett Jackson Auction that was a few weeks ago in Scottsdale, AZ.  He did some research on it (if you know my dad, everything must be researched...which is a good thing!) and decided that he wanted to bid on it.  No, he did not travel to AZ, he bid over the phone from home and was as nervous as a one legged man on a greased ladder.  (I cannot take credit for that funny....that's by BIL Shawn's work!  Bidding went late into the night before his lot came up.  I called him around 11:30 that night after I knew the lot was over and he was so excited that he got it!

FINALLY, the car was delivered to him this Friday night.  You'd think he just had a baby the way people have been parading in and out of his garage!  While we were looking at the car, Bill noticed an old radio sitting to the side.  Apparently after all these years, he still has the original radio that he had in his old Superbee!  I thought that was neat.  Now, I can't wait for nice weather so he can get it out and we can get some good pictures!  I am very excited for him, he has worked hard all his life to finally enjoy things he likes!
