To start with, et me first say that I am listing this ’71 Dodge Charger Super Bee for a well-known classic and muscle car dealership and in doing so, will be acting as an agent for this dealership. The owner, ho is a friend and someone that I have known for over 20 years, ounded his dealership in 1996 and has been a veteran of the car business for over 30 years. All of his vehicles are chosen for the highest standards and quality. A careful and complete analysis is done on every one before they offered for sale.

To start with, et me first say that I understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not buying. However, or the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned money, feel that there is never too much information.

As to myself, am not a dealer, ust a (65) year old kid that loves muscle cars. For my work, am retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and had worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also, lease check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1,139) transactions. Many of those have been muscle cars which I have sold to individuals all over the country as well as Canada, ngland, rance, witzerland and Australia.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE WELCOME WITH A DOWN PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL AND THE BALANCE VIA WIRE TRANSFER ONLY.

I ALSO HAVE INTERNATIONAL BUYER REFERENCES FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CHECK.

Just some quick history on the Super Bee. GM divisions had been doing it for years, ut it wasn't until 1968 that the two MOPAR divisions, odge and Plymouth, egan to engage in a bit of sibling rivalry. The result was the Dodge Super Bee, direct competitor to Plymouth's Road Runner. Although a capable budget muscle car, t never was as successful as the Road Runner, hich truly must have hurt.

Dodge watched as Plymouth launched their budget muscle car, he Road Runner, n the fall of 1967 as a 1968 model. Already upset that Dodge had coined the "road runner" name in a 1967 Coronet ad, odge responded by launching its own budget muscle car. Based on the redesigned Dodge Coronet pillared coupe, odge looked to its Scat Pack symbol and released its new model in the spring of 1968 as the Super Bee. The $3,027 base price was $131 more than the Road Runner, hich used the same basic chassis. Curb weight was nearly identical, nd both used the same engines, o performance was almost identical. The standard engine was the 335 bhp four barrel 383 cid V8 that borrowed cylinder heads, amshaft and induction system from the Magnum 440. The 426 Hemi was the only engine option, ut at nearly $1,000 more, t clashed with the budget nature of the Super Bee and only 125 were ordered. The low price meant minimizing amenities, nd although the Super Bee borrowed the Rallye gauge package from the Charger to edge out the Road Runner, tachometer was still a $38 extra. A heavy duty suspension, rakes, our-speed manual transmission with Hurst Competition Plus shifter, nd red-line wide oval tires were standard. The low price didn't mean low profile, nd the Super Bee had bumble bee racing stripes circling the tail, nd a big Super Bee emblem hovering on the rear fenders. The grille was finished in black matte and the hood had a decorative power bulge. The wheel lips and the rear body panel were accented with thin bright moldings. Inside, he Super Bee had door-to-door carpeting, leated vinyl seats and door panels, nd a standard bench seat.

The big news for MOPAR muscle car fans in 1969 was a new optional engine in several cars, ncluding the Super Bee. MOPAR engineers took the existing 440 cid V8 and replaced the single Carter four barrel carb with three Holley two-barrel carbs on an Edelbrock Hi-Riser manifold, reating the Dodge 440 Six Pack (Plymouth called it the 440+6). Only the center carb was used for normal driving, ut slamming on the fun pedal opened all six carbs for a combined 1,375 cfm rush. Hemi valve springs, hotter cam, agnafluxed connecting rods, nd other improvements helped boost output to 390 bhp. A Hurst four speed manual transmission was standard. Torqueflite automatic was optional, ut disc brakes, ir conditioning, nd cruise control were not allowed. The Super Bee Six Pack came with one of the wilder hoods in muscledoom. The lift off hood was made of fiberglass, ad a matte black finish, our NASCAR tie down pins, nd a large air scoop molded right in with Six Pack written on the sides. The all business look was completed with standard black steel wheels, nadorned except for chrome lug nuts. The 440 Six Pack was a $463 option in 1969, nd 1,907 were produced. The Six Pack could keep up with a Hemi up to 70 mph and came with a Hemi grade suspension that turned the Super Bee into a decent handler.

The agingCoronet's body style was given a face lift for 1970. The front fenders were sloped down more at the ends, nd the hood featured a NASA inspired integrated hood scoop on the standard set upthat flowed down into a center peakseparatinga twin front bumper arrangement. A Super Bee medallion was used between the grilles on the hood. The Ram-Charger hood with its twin hood scoops were carried over to the new hood as an option.

The cards of marketing were reshuffled for 1971. The Coronet name it felt was too closely tied with the image of grocery getters and mom and dad. Thus all four-door mid-sized Dodges would be known as Coronets, hile all two-door intermediate Dodge models would be known as Chargers. The Charger would be restyle to meet these demands with long flowing lines that took some of the race car look away from it. The reshuffle of nameplates also brought the seeming death to the Coronet R/T and the Super Bee. However, t was only half right. The R/T was never a true contender on the marketing field, o it was killed while the Super Bee was given one more year to prove itself. Be the fates of soaring insurance rates and government regulations only place the Super Bee on life support, s this would be its last year of production.
