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.

Bull leads Texas police on four hour chase

Thu, May 12 2016

A bull leading police on a chase through a Texas town may sound like something out of a country music song, but police in Arlington, Texas recently had just such a situation on their hands. According to WFAA, on the afternoon of May 9, a young bull got loose from his pen and decided to take a stroll through the streets of Arlington. "There was a cow walking down the neighborhood," said Arlington resident Jillyan Nance. "It trotted down my home and cut across our yard into the neighbor's yard." Arlington police were alerted to the escaped bull and, in a scene more Texas than Steve Earle drinking a Shiner at the Alamo, they attempted to chase it down with police cruisers. For the next four hours, police engaged the creature in a sedate, low-speed chase through Arlington, Dalworthington Gardens, and other neighboring towns. The bull, for his part, largely ignored his pursuers and the throngs of people coming out of their houses to watch the strange scene and post pictures to Facebook and Instagram. With numerous police cruisers in not-quite-hot pursuit, the bull ambled along the shady streets, stopping here and there to munch on some grass and take in the views. Eventually, a friendly local rancher showed up and lassoed the bull in Dalworthington Gardens just before 9:00 p.m. Police have not released the name of the bull's owner or any motive for its escape. Perhaps, like the unicorn that escaped into a California orchard back in February, it decided that it had had enough of working for a living and was looking for something else.

Dodge Challenger ADR prototypes spied with massive rubber

Mon, Oct 3 2016

In an effort to give the Dodge Challenger one last hurrah before making the switch to the Giorgio platform in 2018, Automotive News reports that the automaker will come out with the Challenger ADR. The ADR, which stands for American Drag Racer, is expected to be a wide-body, Hellcat-powered variant that is closely based off of the current model. The report seems to have merit, as photographers have captured Challenger prototypes testing with massive tires. The prototypes look extremely similar to the current Challenger SRT Hellcat with the same hood scoop, front fascia design, rear spoiler construction, and rear end. The white and purple vehicles, though, are wearing extremely wide tires. The extra-wide rubber on the prototypes appear to have a similar tread design as the ones found on the Dodge Viper ACR, which features the grippy Kumho Ecsta V720. While the ACR wears 295 mm tires at the front, the car's rear tires are massive at 355 mm. The tires found on the prototype don't appear to be as large as the ones found on the ACR, but are expected to be larger than the current Challenger SRT Hellcat's, which are Pirelli P Zero Neros measuring 275 mm at all four corners. The Challenger ADR, with its wider, stickier tires is expected to cater to drivers that are looking to put all of the supercharged 6.2-liter V8's power to the ground. The rear-wheel-drive ADR is expected to come with a wide-body kit, which is missing from the prototypes. The Hellcat-powered, wide-body Challenger ADR is expected to make an appearance later in 2017, with an all-wheel-drive model (sans Hellcat engine) known as the GT AWD following closely thereafter.

Stellantis reveals STLA Large platform with EV and ICE support

Fri, Jan 19 2024

Hot on the heels of a Jeep Wagoneer S teaser and photos of the prototype next-generation Dodge Charger (or Challenger), comes a reveal and details of what will likely underpin both of them: the STLA Large platform. It's one of multiple Stellantis flexible architectures that will be the basis of its upcoming electric cars, and apparently internal combustion ones, too. Stellantis says the STLA Large platform will be for D- and E-segment cars, crossovers and SUVs. In other words, it will be for midsize and large vehicles. For reference, lengths supported will be from 187.6 to 201.8 inches, and width will range from 74.7 to 79.9 inches. It will be highly flexible, too, with Stellantis claiming significant amounts of adjustability in overhangs, wheelbase, suspension placement and powertrain arrangement. The powertrain flexibility is quite impressive. Front-, rear- and all-wheel-drive layouts will be supported. Single- and dual-motor layouts will be on offer. Internal combustion will be available, too, either on its own or as a hybrid. Apparently engines can be fitted either longitudinally or transversely, too. Battery packs with between 85 and 118 kWh of capacity will be offered, with Stellantis claiming that sedan-style vehicles could have a range of up to 500 miles. The packs will also be available in 400- and 800-volt designs. Stellantis noted also that the platform can "easily accept future energy storage technologies when they reach production readiness." This seems to hint that the company is looking at different battery chemistries and maybe even solid-state batteries that could be added more easily in the future. Furthermore, the platform is designed to handle impressive output. Stellantis says that some models on the platform will have 0-to-62 mph times in the 2-second range. Limited-slip differentials for improved power delivery and wheel-end disconnects for reduced mechanical drag are also on the table for this platform. All of these details fit well with the information previously given for the concept Dodge Charger Daytona Banshee and Jeep Wagoneer S. The former was previewed with both battery voltage architectures and a wide range of electric powertrains with between 456 and 670 horsepower depending on specification and upgrades. And that's just for the 400-volt system; the 800-volt option wasn't detailed. We've also seen photos of the Charger chassis seemingly with provisions for gas engines, likely versions of the Hurricane I6.
