Paul Newman and a '71 Super Bee

[JohnnyBee]

I picked up this old movie "Once Upon a Wheel" for $4.oo .  It's hosted by Paul Newman. The film covers Indy, F1, NASCAR and more. This short clip shows Paul Newman with a '71 HEMI Super Bee.

It looks to be this Bee with the King. ( Think this is now owned by Tim Wellborn )

Great pic.. I like the wheels on the Bee for some reason. Simple I guess

[TruckDriver]

I like that picture with the King! Only thing that would of made it better is that if it was a Petty Blue Bee.

Cool pic.. Looks familiar......    That is Tim's car... I'm the one that hooked Tim with his 'Bee and Chrysler up to do this promotional advertisement with the King..

I want to see the rest of the vid!

I got my copy of the video from Amazon. It's was like $4 bucks plus shipping.

Troy, do you know if Tim knows, if this is his car in the Video?

[mikesbbody]

as you said, pretty sure its one of tim's chargers (the motor trend car i think) I have not seen this pic before, i did see in a old mopar action a pic of petty with i think it was a red 71 hemi super bee (another one of tims chargers) thanks for sharing johnny bee

Not sure, I'll see if I still have his email and ask him..... That's a cool car.... Can we tell if it's a hemi 'bee?

Troy, do you mean the charger with petty? we know its a hemi because all of tim's 71 chargers are hemi's plus, if you look really hard at the hood it looks like 426 hemi? (then again, it could say magnum) also, the ramcharger hood was the only bulge hood availible on 71 hemi chargers.

No, I was referring to the Superbee in the Newman video... The 'Bee in the video definitely has a ramcharger hood, but does it have a hemi?

Yes, this is my Hemi Bee and is the Motor Trend car. I wish I knew for sure if it was the Paul Newman Vodeo car.
I do believe it most likely is due to the fact the car has printed on the Broadcast sheet MOTOR TREND TEST CAR. It was built early for this reason and probably would have been the candidate for early videos as well. Further I only know of one other Butterscotch Hemi car and it an R/T.

P.S.
This car is a survivor with zero rattles or squeaks and is the strongest car of my collection. You have to wonder if that print at the bottom of the broadcast sheet did indeed make a difference.
