Vehicle Description
Sharp both inside and out, this 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee
features the attributes we covet in a classic - a clean, straight
body clad in great looking paint, a freshly rebuilt drivetrain that
runs with confidence-inspiring smoothness and power, and an
interior that's in top form. You'd be very hard-pressed to find a
MoPar of this era possessing anywhere near its level of
road-readiness, not to mention its impressive condition.
This is one aggressive looking muscle car - its substantial hood
area and slightly inclined stance give it an almost carnivorous
appearance while a sharply angled windshield and an almost
fastback-like rear roofline add sleekness. It's clad in Hemi orange
- a direct reference to the storied MoPar powerplant and certainly
appropriate for this vintage Dodge - and looks great. Take a lap
around and you won't find anything to detract from its undeniable
curb appeal. The contrasting black stripe on its hood bearing its
namesake Super Bee emblem, as well as another encircling the front
of the cabin, both present very sharp as well. Chargers of this era
had such distinctive front ends, with their wideset twin dual
headlights and split front grille, and the one here is a great
representative for this styling cue - it's nice and level and
features unblemished chrome that really pops against the orange in
back of it. This is a very well aligned car throughout - that
lengthy hood lines up well with the front fenders to either side of
it, and the doors open and shut easily and are surrounded by tight,
uniform gaps.
Inside the doors, the black vinyl interior has been refurbished
while retaining its original configuration and is downright
impressive. The bench seats in both front and back looks to have
seen almost no use - there's not so much as the beginning of a
crease on their surfaces. A nice dividend of the Charger's ample
size comes in the form of its interior space - besides plenty of
room side to side, full-size adults will have no problem getting
comfortable in back. A stock Dodge steering wheel still sits on its
column, while just a little further forward the dash area features
easily readable gauges in its instrument cluster, as well as a
straight, uncracked pad across the top. An AM radio is at the
center of the dash to provide an era appropriate look, and unlike
so many of its counterparts from the era, it's in good operating
condition. In back, the trunk area is in great shape - the
contrasting gray liner still appears fresh and the inner
wheelhouses and fenders are in clear view so that you can see how
clean they are.
The 383 cubic inch V8 sitting under the hood is a correct HP2 block
and it is ready for action as soon as you get this Charger home.
It's carrying an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb on top and MoPar-badged
valve covers on its sides, and sounds great as it exhales into a
dual exhaust that features TNT mufflers. The engine teams with a
3-speed automatic 727B transmission and 3.23 rear end that were
both rebuilt just a short while back, so this drivetrain is very
much at the top of its game. Smooth power steering makes this
sizable muscle car easy to navigate and power brakes on all four
corners, with discs up front, give it plenty of dependable stopping
power as it turns heads on its 15" Rallye wheels outfitted with BF
Goodrich T/A radials that have plenty of tread life still
remaining.
If you're on the hunt for a vintage Dodge with serious curb appeal
and a rock-solid running condition, this 1971 Dodge Charger Super
Bee is a must see. Call today!
