1969 Super bee A12
440 Sixpack 4-Speed Reproduction If you were serious about going fast in
1969, the Dodge store was where you should have been shopping. They were so
serious, in fact, that they built these incredible A12-code cars with 440 cubic
inches, three 2-barrel carbs, and a wild lift-off fiberglass hood. In fact,
they were serious enough to forego even hubcaps on the car, knowing that racers
wouldn’t need them, or better yet, would simply be installing a set of lightweight
aftermarket wheels the minute they got home. Lightweight, cheap, and scary fast
was a recipe that served the Super Bees extremely well. This Original F8 1969 Super bee A12
Reproduction is a great example of the
buy-it-today, race-it-tomorrow cars that Dodge was putting out at the height of
the muscle car era. Subject to a restoration three years ago, it remains in
nice condition today, ready to show or enjoy. This car can be purchased at the
fraction of the cost of an original A12 car. One added bonus is this is a true
Superbee with original fender tag. This car was built like the
originals. There are no options on the
car except for the 440 Six Pack engine, 4-Speed and the white Bumblebee sport
stripe on the tail. Personally, I really dig the stripped down, bare-knuckled
street fighters like this – they don’t have any kind of identity crisis like
some of the loaded up cars might. You wanted fast, this is what you bought. If
you wanted something with more luxury, you bought something else that wasn’t as
fast. Combined with that lift-off hood, cars like this certainly separated the
men from the boys. That’s right, nothing but the go-fast
gear. You got a problem with that? Maybe this is too much car for you, after
all. Allow us to show you something more modest, say, in the minivan
department. If you’re still with me, let’s talk about
the detailing on this car. Top and bottom, it is very presentable. The bodywork
is nice quality. In fact, it’s a lot nicer than any street racer has a right to
be. The A12-specific hood has the correct finish (many times the black is too
flat). It rolls on a set of black steel wheels.
And since these cars didn’t come with hubcaps, the factory dressed them
up with chrome lug nuts. Underhood, it has a correct Six Pack air cleaner, electronic ignition and Mopar Performance Valve covers. The engine itself is a stock built 440 with pleanty of power. The rear is an 8 3/4 with 391 gears. Inside, you’ll find a mix of nice
original parts with high quality reproductions. The dash bezels look good, as
do the new armrest and inside door handles. All soft trim from the headliner to
the door panels to the carpet is in perfect shape. As you can see it has a rally dash. Muscle car collecting is about reliving
an era that we’ll probably never see again. It was a time when there weren’t as
many rules, and the factory-built cars were purpose-built weapons that any guy
could put on the street. The A12s were perhaps the most pure expression of
Chrysler’s go-fast, no-frills, take-no-prisoners philosophy, and this car is a
great example of it. If you want your iron fist hidden in a velvet glove, you
should probably buy something else. If you simply want the iron fist, however,
this is exactly the car for you. This
vehicle is being sold as is, where is, with no warranty expressed, written or

Performance doesn't matter anymore, it's all about the feel
Wed, Aug 24 2022We've just had a week of supercars and high-end EVs revealed. Many of them boast outrageous performance specs. There were multiple vehicles with horsepower in the four-figure range, and not just sports cars, but SUVs with 0-60 mph times under 3.5 seconds. And it's not just a rarified set of supercar builders, comparatively small tuners are also building this stuff. Going fast is easy nowadays and getting easier. So what will distinguish the greats from the wannabes? It's all about how a car feels. This may seem obvious. "Of course it matters that a car should have good steering feel and a playful chassis!" you say. "Why are you being paid for this stuff?" But a lot of automakers have missed the memo. This past week I spent some time in a BMW M4 Competition convertible, and it's a perfect example of prioritizing performance over experience. It boggles my mind how a company can create such dead and disconnected steering; the weight never changes, there's no feel whatsoever. The chassis is inflappable, but to a fault, because it doesn't feel like anything you're doing is difficult or exciting. The car is astoundingly fast and capable, but it feels less like driving a car and more like tapping in a heading on the Enterprise-D. I also happened to drive something of comparable performance that was much more enjoyable: a Mercedes-AMG GT. It was a basic model with the Stealth Edition blackout package, and even though it had a twin-turbo V8 instead of a six-cylinder, it only made 20 more horsepower. The power wasn't the big differentiator, it was (say it with me) the feel. While not the best example, the steering builds resistance as you dial in lock, giving you a better idea of what's happening up front. Pulses and vibrations come back to you as you move over bumpy pavement in corners. The chassis isn't quite as buttoned down, either, providing a little bit of body roll that tells you you're pushing it. It's also easier to feel when the car is wanting to understeer or oversteer, and how your throttle and steering inputs are affecting it. The whole thing is much more involving, exciting and fun. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Stealth Edition View 8 Photos That's also to say nothing of the Merc's sounds. That V8 is maybe not the best sounding engine, but its urgent churn through the opened-up exhaust gets your heart racing. It also seems like it's vibrating the whole cabin, so you feel it as much as you hear it.
Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.
General Lee Dodge Charger replica jumps Dukes of Hazzard-style in Downtown Detroit
Sun, Feb 26 2017Ouch. That was our first reaction after we saw the video up above, in which stunt driver Raymond Kohn goes full-on Bo and Luke Duke in a specially prepared Dodge Charger right in the middle of Downtown Detroit. The jump looks good – and, courtesy of the whistling-Dixie horn of the Charger, sounds good, too – until you see the landing. Like we said, ouch. The ramp stood just five feet tall, but since the bright orange '69 Charger was traveling around 55 miles per hour when it launched, the car soared 25 feet in the air over a distance of 134 feet. That's pretty impressive. Apparently, the car was modified to take the brunt of the landing forces at impact to help keep Kohn safe (relatively speaking, of course). The stunt was a promotion for the 65th annual Autorama Show, which is taking place this weekend at the Cobo Center in Detroit. Scroll down to watch a video interview with Kohn that was shot right after the stunt, and stick around till the end to see the automotive carnage close up. This content is hosted by a third party.
