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.

Will Dodge limit 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat to 1,200 units?

Sun, 20 Jul 2014

With over 700 horsepower on tap and a price tag barely over $60k, Dodge appears on paper to have a winner on its hands with the new Challenger SRT Hellcat. But if you want to get your hands on one, you may have to act quicker than this most powerful of muscle cars covers the quarter-mile.
That's because, according to our compatriots over at Edmunds, Dodge may limit production - in the first year, at least - to just 1,200 units. That would amount to barely a quarter of the Challengers that Dodge moves each month, and would also mean only one Hellcat for every two Dodge dealers in the US - which could lead to some serious contention over which stores and which customers can get their hands on the ultimate Challenger.
Reached for comment, SRT spokesman Dan Reid told Autoblog that "there is no plan to limit production of the Challenger Hellcat," echoing the words of Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis who told Edmunds: "We don't know what the market demand is." Which doesn't mean that it won't restrict production, but doesn't mean that it will, either. It just hasn't decided yet - or announced any such decision, at any rate - over what will be the final allocation strategy for what could be a game-changing muscle car. That is, at least, until new versions of the Mustang and Camaro come along in pursuit of Dodge's bragging rights...

NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.

2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.
