Vehicle Description
Incredible pro-touring Coronet called 'Killer Bee.' 6.4-liter Mopar
Hemi crate motor, 6-speed, coil-over suspension, Wilwood 4-wheel
disc brakes, and much more. Custom interior with front and rear
buckets. Fast, furious, sorted, and ready to rock!You might
remember an over-the-top Viper Green Hemi Charger we sold a few
years ago-this stunning Coronet was built by the same guy with the
same insane attention to detail. He started with an ultra-clean
western car and stripped it to a bare shell to rebuild it from
there. The color is a modern take on Top Banana Yellow offered in
1969 with a ton of pearl and metallic in it to make it really glow
in the sunlight. The bodywork is exceptionally well done, with
laser-straight quarters, even gaps all around, and doors that close
with a gentle click instead of a heavy slam. From the moment you
touch the door handle, you know this car is special. Up front
there's a steel hood with a custom carbon-fiber wrap to give it a
performance look without the carbon-fiber hassles. You'll also note
body-colored bumpers, restored factory grille, custom LED
headlights, and a bumblebee stripe designed to match an original
Super Bee but which now reads 'Killer Bee,' which seems an apt
description. Then there are the little things: power mirrors off a
late-model Challenger, custom SRT Super Bee emblems with '6.4'
callouts, and all-new glass with a subtle tint to give it a clean
look. Like we said, the attention to detail on this car is just
superb.The same blend of old and new is visible inside where you
get four bucket seats, custom black and gray leather upholstery,
and contrasting yellow stitching. It's just gorgeous. Gray carpets
keep it from getting too dark inside, and custom door panels
continue the theme while integrating things like the power mirror
controls. A wood-rimmed steering wheel warms things up a bit and
the factory gauges have been replaced with trick Dakota Digital
dials that include extra functions accessed by a button under the
dash. Even the ignition system has been cleverly re-engineered,
with pushbutton start using the original wiper washer button. Too
cool! There's a custom JVC entertainment system in the center of
the dash and Vintage Air A/C and heat were neatly integrated using
the original controls and vents. That center console was fabricated
just for this car and includes an arm rest as well as the Hurst
shifter for the Tremec 6-speed manual gearbox, which was lifted
from a low mileage 2015 Dodge Challenger. The console continues
into the back seat area, where a second set of buckets from a
mid-60s Dodge Charger were fitted for a totally custom look. Custom
embroidery, LED lighting, and OEM-style details make this one stand
out in a big way. Even the trunk was upholstered with the wiring
and battery components cleverly hidden behind bulkheads that match
the interior. The original 318 is long gone, replaced by a modern
6.4 liter HEMI crate motor from Mopar Performance. Using a full
Mopar Performance installation kit, it has an OEM look and fits
right in the Coronet's engine bay. Factory functionality remains
with fuel injection, distributorless ignition, and all the other
technology that makes modern cars so easy to live with-it's all
here. It's also beautifully detailed under the hood with custom
intake covers, lots of polished aluminum, and clean wiring and
plumbing that stays mostly out of sight. Up front there's a massive
aluminum radiator with both a puller and a pusher fan to keep the
A/C nice and cool, even in traffic, and the inner fender panels
were reworked since the coil-over suspension doesn't need big shock
towers. Power rack-and-pinion steering is part of the custom front
subframe, which also includes coil-over shocks, upper and lower
A-arms, and a pair of giant Wilwood vented disc brakes. Long-tube
headers feed a custom stainless exhaust system with Flowmaster
mufflers, so it sounds spectacular, and it terminates in round tips
under the rear bumper that almost look OEM. The rear is a built
Dana 60 with 4.10 gears inside, giving the car insane off-the-line
punch while the deep overdrive in the transmission makes it a
relaxed highway cruiser. Obviously the floors are immaculate and
everything has been finished to show standards, with the brilliant
yellow floors offering a great background for all the go-fast
hardware. Out back there's a new gas tank with built-in pickup for
the EFI, and it sits on gorgeous 17-inch Billet Specialties wheels
with a super deep dish out back and staggered 245/45/17 front and
390/40/17 rear performance radials.Documentation is extensive,
including a massive file of receipts and manuals plus the original
fender tag. It also includes touch-up paint and a few spare
parts.This is one of those builds that gets everything right.
Dramatic looks? Check. Big firepower? Check. OEM drivability and

you'll find to like because the attention to detail on this build
is extremely impressive. A fastidious build from a talented builder
makes this Coronet a killer deal. Call today!Harwood Motors always
