Originally Built with A 383ci V8 - Automatic Transmission - 67k
Miles Shown - Frame Off Restoration - Citron Yella Paint With Black
Vinyl Top - Black Interior Garage Kept Motors is very proud to
feature this 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee for sale. In 1971 Dodge
dropped the Super Bee from the Coronet line and moved it to the
Charger. This would be the last year of the famed Super Bee package
until it would reappear again in 2007. That in itself makes this
car a special vehicle, however needless to say the elephant under
the hood is what also makes this car even more special. This
Charger was originally built with a 383 V8, however under the hood
now sits an era correct 426cid Hemi V8. This car represents a
unique opportunity to own and drive a Hemi powered car at well
below the $230,000- $250,000 value Hagerty's Valuation Tool cites
for an original 1971 Hemi powered Charger. This car is just
brilliant painted in one of MOPAR's many High Impact colors; Citron
Yella. (Code GY3). This car was treated to a full restoration quite
a few years ago, and was finished in the factory correct color. It
is an older restoration, it still presents well. The yellow paint
is well applied over carefully executed body work. The paint finish
has been well maintained and presents well with a deep shine. It
would be hard to miss this car coming down the road thanks to the
bright paint color, but the correct black Super Bee graphics and
426 Hemi emblems are on the hood and really pop against the vibrant
yellow paint. The bumpers are painted to match the body color and
during the restoration all trim and moldings were replaced. The
black interior has been nicely restored with highlights being new
carpet, seat upholstery, and headliner. The factory 3-spoke foamed
rim Tuff steering wheel frames the stock instrumentation in the
faux wood grain dash. An era correct Sun Super X tachometer is
mounted on the steering column. Other options include the bucket
seats with console and AM radio. The trunk compartment is restored
and painted body color with correct vinyl floor mat. As we
mentioned earlier, a 426 Hemi V8 topped with dual 4bbl carburetors
occupies the engine bay. The engine compartment shows very well and
is clean and well detailed with all the correct decals and correct
Mopar battery. Getting this monstrous engine shoehorned in between
the frame rails means sacrificing the power brakes and power
steering. Power is transferred through a 727 Torque-Flite 3 speed
automatic transmission to a 9.75 Dana 60 series rear differential.
Power hits the pavement via 14 factory stamped steel wheels
stainless trim with white letter radial tires. The undercarriage,
like the rest of the car, was restored quite some time ago. The
front suspension presents as fully rebuilt and the Charger features
manual drum brakes on all four corners. The big Hemi purrs through
a dual exhaust with H-pipe chamber style mufflers that flow into
tailpipes with correct factory chrome tips. MOPAR and muscle car
fans alike will appreciate this Charger. This car has a number of
highlights, it's finished in a High Impact color, has a 426ci HEMI
under the hood, it's restored, and the interior features bucket
seats and a console. This is a great car to show, or cruise, and
will be sure to draw a crowd every time you pop the hood. This is a
great opportunity to own and drive a street legend. Please call if
interested or e-mail with questions. Thank you for looking.
