Stop in for a cup of coffee

I'll throw out something to think about. I heard a guy in my area has a numbers matching 69 Super Bee 440 6-pack four speed. He's pulling the engine putting in a 520's something hemi motor.

Why do people do that?? I could see it if it was a car you pulled out of the pasture. People who've seen it says it is a nice car.

I feel we need to preserve cars like that...JMO.
