Vehicle Description
Original HM code Coronet Super Bee 2dr Sedan with the 440 Magnum
engine with two 4 barrel carburetors mated to a 4spd manual
transmission with Hurst pistol grip shifter. Full ground up
restoration completed about 20 years ago by the previous owner who
has owned the car almost 30 years. Restored with an emphasis to
make the car the best Super Bee it could be rather than the most
original. The engine is a fully built and blueprinted correct 440
Magnum from a GTX with a mild cam estimated to be producing 500HP
with the two four barrel carburetors pulling air through a custom
air cleaner assembly fed by a working Ramcharger intake system with
functional dual hood scoops. The transmission is a proper 4spd
manual with the obligatory Hurst pistol grip shifter and shifts
great, pushing through a 3.3 ratio locking differential to give
great acceleration while still turning under 3K RPM at current
elevated highway speed. The steering is all power assisted with a
proper steering system and the braking is handled by an absolutely
impressive power four wheel disc system with proper Dodge disc
front brakes and upgraded rear disc brakes fitted from a Crown
Victoria. Power makes it to the ground through Magnum style chrome
wheels with massively wide rear BFG tires that fill the rear wheel
wells perfectly. The frame and suspension have all been upgraded to
handle the big HP including welded subframe connectors and rear
traction bars. The engine sends spent gasses through a set of
coated Hooker headers and full custom exhaust system with dual
electrically remote operated cut outs to give you the choice
between mild or wild depending on your mood at the push of a
button. The car drives absolutely UNBELIEVABLE for a 60's muscle
car and really is amazing to drive. The underbody is all excellent
with all new floor and trunk panels during the restoration and no
signs of rust or puttied up rust repairs. The interior is
exceptional as well with no issues to be noted and a super cool
upgraded custom dash with retro gauges, LED indicators, upgraded
swivel hidden screen CD player with powerful upgraded speaker and
trunk mounted subwoofer, and all dash lights, interior lights,
indicators, wipers, etc in proper working order. The lights have
been upgraded to LED bulbs and really light the road properly with
proper aiming and operation more like you would expect from a
modern car. All glass seals and window operation is top notch with
solid closing doors with no rattles, no water leaking issues, and
proper working keys and door locks. The car starts right up every
time with no protesting or multi step routine and settles into a
nice calm but slightly cammy idle with a nice rumble or dragster
like thumping, your choice at the touch of a button. The car has
the factory interior ventilation system and rear pop out windows
that push an impressive amount of cool air through the cabin making
you wonder why you would ever need A/C. There are some really nice
touches and attention to detail on the body including seamless
quarter welds at the back glass, tidied up headlight and tail light
surround on the body to eliminate the poorly fitting original multi
piece design, bumpers pulled tight to the body, and excellent panel
gap fitment with satisfying feel to the open and close of every
panel. The Yellow paint is in very good overall condition with no
major issues to be noted but it is an older restoration completed
by the previous owner himself so it isn't concours show quality,
but nothing that needs attention either. I would classify it as
good for a yellow car, but maybe not good enough if it were a black
one. It does present itself very well and looks like a pristine
show car to everyone but the most trained professional (which I
am). Truly an absolutely amazing example with incredible attention
to details, fully sorted and capable of driving cross country, with
all the Mopar "cool" boxes checked, while still being a very true
to original example and a real HM VIN Super Bee!
