Hello, I am new to the world of Mopar, have a 71 Super Bee 4 speed B5 Blue with blue interior, original 383 car, all original except car had a 440 HP in it so I decided to install a 426 HEMI that a friend had available. Currently in process of restoring the 71 Super Bee as factory as can be except the engine, less vinyl top, console and changing out the 3.91 gears for 3.55 gears. Have restored 2 Oldsmobile's over the years, a 72 442 W-30 4 speed and waiting on bodywork to complete/assemble my 75 Hurst Olds W-30. I have not figured out how to post pictures of the Super Bee and W-30 car. Once I figure it out I will be sure to post.

Welcome from Michigan. Sounds like an awesome project. Love that you have a 426 in the bay. Definitely a fan of the Olds also. Go and post your pics on Flickr and then copy the links on here.

Welcome aboard manzolds! Sounds like a fun project. Look forward to following your progress. As Hank mentioned, you'll need to have the photos hosted somewhere else, and link to them here.

Hello DynoDave, The color in the engine bay is B5 blue.
It is the car's original color and stamped on the VIN tag.
The B5 for 71 is one of the nicest blue tone I have seen on a car.
I am sticking with this original color, it will match the brite blue interior very nicely.
Thank you for reaching out!!!
Sincerely, Jim
