Looking For My '69 B5 Bee w/Red Stripe

[SgtSuperbird]

As with most of these requests, I know it's a shot in the dark, but here goes:

Looking for a '69 Bee, 383, 4 speed with console, B5 blue, with B7 interior, Ramcharger hood, with an unusual RED stripe. Unfortunately, I don't have a VIN to reference, and when I blew up one picture containing the fender tag, it lost all clarity.

The car was sold in the Detroit area in about 1983. (Yeah, it's a long shot, but you never know.)

Is there a way to take the photo of the fender tag to a photo guy and have it enhanced? Maybe they can get enough clarity in it to make out the numbers. It might be worth a try.

I'm not a computer guy, but if Liam Nesson can get a picture of the guy who kidnapped his daughter from a kiosk machine in France, you should be able to get those numbers from your photo.

Thanks for the help, xlr8. Yeah, it should be pretty simple - they do it all the time in the movies!

Good conversation today. Talk to you soon.

Before I go and buy something else I don't need, I'll bump this another time...

Technically that's only possible if the original photo was taken at an extremely high resolution. If an existing digital photo isn't clear, it won't get any clearer when you blow it up. You can maintain clarity when decreasing the size, but not increasing. What you see in the movies is bogus, unless the original image is super hi-res.

Well Liam Neeson did it, but he DOES possess a very specific set of skills....

Either way, I truly hope the car appears on SgtSuprbirds radar.

And if he FINDS you...he'll KILL you.

I'd like to bump this again. I bought the car in 1979, out of Detroit, freshly restored. As the story went, the car was restored out of Minnesota, I believe.
