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.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.

Indications of 825 hp and emissions issues for Hellcat called 'speculation' by Chrysler

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is probably one of the hottest cars of the moment mostly because of its insane, 707-horsepower supercharged V8. However, there are conflicting reports coming out that the powerplant might be having problems with its emissions compliance and may be capable of even more power.
Jalopnik says that an unnamed source within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles told it that the Hellcat was having problems meeting emissions standards at its 707-horsepower tune. The person claimed that the automaker has been testing the V8 with different types of sensors, possibly to make it a bit cleaner in the future. Autoblog spoke to SRT spokesperson Dan Reid, and he said about the claimed poor emissions, "It's totally speculation."
The source also claimed that the Hellcat had been dynoed at a monumental 825 horsepower, internally. Based on the other rumor, though, it's hard to imagine the engine being emissions compliant like that. Autoblog also asked Reid about this speculation about more power and was told, "They are totally speculating about that."
