And another change to it...was still wearing the lift off hood and side scoops when I went to look at it.

The hood and side scoops are probably now worth what you paid for the car back then.

Ahh yes, the old polished top radiator tank. I did that to my GTX back then, too. That was all the rage for a short time. LOL
 
Found pictures on line of the dealership where our 70 Super Bee was sold new:

Looks like the building is still there but is a Rent A Center now

You know what I never really noticed the rad until now after reading your comment. When I was restoring the car I did not know what size radiator it came with since the rad support was hacked and mostly missing, so I ended up just going with a 22" unit. Now I see from this pic that it most likely came with a 26" rad....Doohhh!!:BangHead:

I have a complete 26” saddle if you need one.
 
Joe Gertlemann (spelling?) had Pink Panther Hemi Cuda if not mistaken. He was from NJ, Burlington County area. Anbody out there can confirm this?
I'll ask Joey next time I see him. Big Joe had so many hemi Mopars it's hard to remember them all. He was a good guy.

Not all 440’s had a 26”rad. I have seen 68’s with 22”rads. It should show on your fender tag I think, does on 66-67.
