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.

8 things you learn while driving a cop car [w/videos]

Tue, Jan 27 2015

Let me start off with the obvious: it is absolutely illegal to impersonate a police officer. And now that that's out of the way, I'd just like to say that driving a cop car is really, really cool. Here's the background to this story: Dodge unveiled its redesigned 2015 Charger Pursuit police cruiser, and kindly allowed Autoblog to test it. That meant fellow senior editor Seyth Miersma and I would spend a week with the cop car, and the goal here was to see just how different the behind-the-wheel experience is, from a civilian's point of view. After all, it's not technically a police car – it isn't affiliated with any city, it doesn't say "police" anywhere on it, and it's been fitted with buzzkill-worthy "NOT IN SERVICE" magnets (easily removed for photos, of course). But that meant nothing. As Seyth and I found out after our week of testing, most people can't tell the difference, and the Charger Pursuit commands all the same reactions as any normal cop car would on the road. Here are a few things we noticed during our time as wannabe cops. 1. You Drive In A Bubble On The Highway Forget for a moment that our cruiser was liveried with Dodge markings instead of those of the highway patrol. Ignore the large "NOT IN SERVICE" signs adhered around the car. Something in the lizard brain of just about every licensed driver tells them to hold back when they see any hint of a cop car, or just the silhouette of a light bar on a marked sedan. Hence, when driving on the highway, and especially when one already has some distance from cars forward and aft, a sort of bubble of fear starts to open up around you. Cars just ahead seem very reluctant to pass one another or change lanes much, while those behind wait to move up on you until there's a full herd movement to do so. The effect isn't perfect – which is probably ascribable to the aforementioned giveaways that I'm not really a cop – but it did occur on several occasions during commutes from the office. 2. You Drive In A Pack In The City My commute home from the Autoblog office normally takes anywhere from 25 to 30 minutes, and it's a straight shot down Woodward Avenue from Detroit's north suburbs into the city, where I live. Traffic usually moves at a steady pace, the Michigan-spec "five-over" speed.

Fiat Chrysler dumped 40,000 unordered vehicles on dealers

Thu, Nov 14 2019

In a move that echoes recent history, Fiat Chrysler has been making more cars and trucks than dealers in the U.S. are willing to accept, with Bloomberg reporting that at one point the automaker had built up a glut of around 40,000 unordered vehicles. That’s led some dealers to accuse FCA of reviving the dreaded “sales bank” accounting practice of obscuring inventory to improve the balance sheet. The company reportedly began building up its inventory of unordered cars this summer despite an industrywide slowdown in sales and an eagerness by some dealers to thin their inventories because rising interest rates are making it more expensive to hold unsold cars. The inventory build-up also coincided with Fiat ChryslerÂ’s efforts to find a merger partner, first with Renault, which fell through, then last monthÂ’s announcement that it will merge with FranceÂ’s PSA Group. FCA denies any such scheme and tells Bloomberg the rising inventory is down to a new predictive analytics system designed to better square supply with demand from dealers that is helping the company save money and narrow the numbers of unsold vehicles. The company recently agreed to pay a $40 million civil penalty to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to settle a complaint that it paid dealers to report fake sales figures over a span of five years. While no one is suggesting that FCA is in dire financial straits — the company saw higher than expected earnings in the third quarter and record profits in North America — the practice has strong historical precedent by Chrysler, which built up bloated inventories in the run-up to its two federal bailouts, in 1980 and 2009. It was also common at GM and Ford during the 2000s, when all three Detroit automakers struggled with excess manufacturing capacity and plummeting sales in the lead-up to the Great Recession. Back in 2012, CFO Magazine wrote about a report that explained automakersÂ’ rationale for the practice and how it works: Say fixed costs for a given factory are $100, and that the factory can make 50 cars. Consumers, however, demand only 10. Under absorption costing, if the company makes all 50 cars, its cost-per-car is $2. If it makes only up to demand, or 10 cars, the cost-per-car is $10. Although each car adds variable costs for steel and other parts, if those costs are low, the company still has an incentive to make more cars to keep the cost-per-car down.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will take undefined new role after PSA merger

Wed, Dec 18 2019

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley will remain with the new group set to result from a planned merger with French rival PSA-Peugeot, Chairman John Elkann said on Wednesday. In a letter to Fiat Chrysler (FCA) employees on the day the two companies announced a binding agreement for a $50 billion tie-up to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker, Elkann said he was "delighted" that the combined group would be led by current PSA CEO Carlos Tavares. "And Mike Manley, who has led FCA with huge energy, commitment and success over the past year, will be there alongside him," he said. He did not say what position Manley would hold. Elkann — who will chair the new group — said there was still much to be done to complete the merger. "Over the coming months we must work tirelessly and determinedly to fulfill all the approval requirements needed to finalize the commitment we have signed," he said.
