The car was purchased by my father two years ago from the second owner..  The Super Bee was used as a weekend warrior from day one.  It original owner (now deceased) was best friends with the second owner.  The original engine was pulled early in its life and a race engine was installed.  The original engine was reinstalled by the second owner prior to my father purchasing the Bee.  The car has 24K original miles however it can be assumed that the engine has far less than 24K miles.    The car has not been cut up at all with the exception of a small area in the tunnel where a race shifter was installed. This is a very small area.   We pulled off the deep sump oil pan and replaced it with a stock oil pan.  At that time we looked into the bottom end of the engine and the engine looks like new with original pistons still in place.  The trans has been replaced most likely at the time the race engine was installed.  It now has a manual reverse valve body.  The original Dana is still in place however at some point the gears were changed to a 3.73 ratio which actually makes for very nice highway cruising.  The car still has line loc installed from the early 70’s.  It works perfect and is hidden in the ash tray.    

 

At the time the original engine was installed back in the car the prior owner chose to spray the engine bay again.  This is the only major area of the car that was repainted.  The entire exterior is original paint except minor stone chip touch up.  That being said if you have not seen an original paint car do not expect this car to appear to look like a base coat clear paint job.  The paint is exceptional for 43 year old paint but it is not a glossy show car.  It has factory orange peel and factory flaws.  As you can see in the photos, the only rust issue is a very small hole approximately the size of  an eraser on a pencil right in front of the passenger side tire. The tops of the front fenders have tell tale signs of  weekend wrenching on the race engine that was removed.  Elbow dings run up and down the tops of the fenders.  The dings are noticeable but not obtrusive.  They actually give the car part of its character.  Some of you with a keen eye may have noticed the hood scoop is larger than a factory hood and probaby assumed it was a reproduction hood. It is not.  It is the original hood to this car .    

The original hood was modified by a prior owner in an attempt to accept more air into the scoop.    The original carbs are intact with the exception of the center carb which was replaced with an aftermarket at some point.  The original center carb is in the trunk and is included in the sale.  

 

The car runs exceptionally well.  It could be driven reliably anywhere and starts every time.  It is very unique car being that it is unrestored and still very, very nice. 

The wheels and tires are Correct Reproductions.

The wheels are reproduction H code wheels that have correct dates, stampings and size.

The spare is an original H code wheel. 

The correct dimple lug nuts are also installed.

The tires are reproduction Goodyear G-60-15’s.  These are all new with a total cost of  just over $4,000.

 

I will address every issue that we are aware of with the car. 

 

-Aftermarket radio was removed and a factory 8 track was installed however is not hooked up and or working yet.

 

-Engine bay items have been modified, IE  Factory air cleaner lid has been chromed, power steering box is chromed, wrong valve covers, engine harness has been modified to accept electronic ignition, battery is now mounted in the trunk, headers installed.  A couple weekends could put this engine bay area back to an original appearance.

 

-Trans needs to warm up for a couple minutes and then runs fine.  If you attempt to take off when cold it slips slightly.  Once warmed up it runs like a bear with no slippage. Not sure why but guessing it may have something to do with the race build on the trans?

 

-Traction bars and Hijacker air shocks installed.  I would remove them. Your choice.

 

-Keystone aftermarket rear mud flaps are installed only with wheel opening molding factory screw location. Easily removed if needed.

 

-Side Scoops were added and are not original to this car.  

 

Reason my dad is selling this car is simply because it is way too nice to restore and my father wants a project car.  He has just retired and is looking to start a resto on one of our projects.  The car is priced very fair for a Survivor A12 Bee.  There is nothing hiding on this car.  You can pay $70K and up for a restored one that may have had every panel replaced but you will not get many chances to own an A12 that has never been taken apart.  He is aware he will never replace this car again.  Please let me know what you need to see for pics and I will get you what you need.  I will answer email late each night. 

Thank you and good luck  bidding.     I have many photos especially of the underneath however was unable to add anymore photos.  Let me know if you want more photos and I can send them to you.

2015 Dodge Charger darts into NY traffic

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

Meet the refreshed 2015 Dodge Charger; notice anything different? You would have to be pretty farsighted to miss the sedan's new Dart-like nose, and it's likely going to be quite polarizing to the car's fans. Gone are the previous furrowed, aggressive headlights in favor of a wider, friendlier look.
While the more rounded headlights and narrower grille are going to be the first thing most people notice, Dodge claims its designers have made changes to nearly every panel on the Charger. The hood dips down deeper at the front, and the doors show off a more angled version of the car's shoulder blister. LED running lights and taillights are standard on all models, and SXT and RT trims get LED foglights. Even though the front might not be as intimidating, Dodge has hung onto the sedan's muscular stance with angular contours making up the rest of the redesign.
Under the hood is the same engine range you've come to know over recent years. Both the 5.7-liter V8 and the 3.6-liter V6 return for 2015, with the Hemi making 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque, and the standard Pentestar outputting 292 hp and 260 lb-ft. All models are now equipped with Chrysler's TorqueFlight eight-speed automatic as standard. Fuel economy for V8 Chargers is predicted at 16 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg highway, compared to 15 mpg / 25 mpg last year with a five-speed automatic. All models also come with electric power steering, and the axles are cast from aluminum to save weight.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.
