You got a REAL DEAL if you only paid 1k for that plus parts!!!! Since you now have a Superbee, you might want to check out www.71superbee.com and sign up on it.

Lets see some pics of the interior and engine compartment. Is it all original??

WOW! That was a real steal! Wish I would get lucky like that once with a R/T or Bee. By the way Take a look at the Third Gen Charger Registry and register that thing ;) The link is at the bottom of my signature scrolling.

All original, got everything the aircleaner with the 383 tin on top of it, interior needs a drivers front floorpan, new underlayment and carpet.
I bought this from the original owner that had it special ordered in 1970. (He got the slap stick shifter if his wife chose the vinyl top- thats why its a white vinyl top instead of black.I have the original title that dates back to 71. ;D
I either need a quarter for the pass rear or get it hammered out? Why you say? because a few days ago my dad backed his k1500 Chevy pickup into that rear quarter that had no bondo, dents..... :flame:. oh well he said he will pay for it when it goes into the shop.

But back on topic, it is a all original unmolested uncut car.

other oddities:
14x6 road wheels(magnum 500's) with trim rings and black bullet centercaps.
has the 3 button horn/steering wheel than the round center style SE type ( i think)

the original owner gave me a new package tray that matches the interior(still in plastic) new lenses for the turnsignals that go in the front valence panel, new emblem for the center of the front bumper. and some other stuff I can't think of right now.

when removing the 383 out for some ungodly reason the small cable that goes to the starter- the nut rounded off and the cable broke so got a new one from the dealership, as well as resto plug wires, I wanted the resto dist cap(tan) and rotor but they accidentally ordered me the performance one (black) and it will have to do till the next tune up.

383 Specs:
Bored .40 over w/ Sealed Power forged Flat tops
Whole rotating assembly has been balanced
Rods resized with ARP Rod bolts/nuts.
Block honed, pressurechecked, coated with glycol
replaced stock magnum cam with mopar pn:p4286677  272 duration for a little more thump. :icon_smile_big:
High volume oil pump
had the oil holes on the crank chamfered(Sp?) for better oiling.
Heads disassembled, vatted, pressurechecked, 3 angle valve job, hardened valve seats on exhaust valves, new bronze valve guides installed, new oil seals on valves and reassembled.
and a windage tray.
(phew)
I have to finish the reassembly of the engine and put it back in and I will be trying to get the body/floorpan done so I can start driving it.

So, like I said before- anyone got a gastank for a 71 superbee?

Ill get some more pics of the bee uploaded , and post more pics.

RD,
Thanks very much
and I'd also like to say thanks to the other members that have welcomed another charger lover to the forums.


And yes, $1,000 for the whole car. I saw it 5 years ago sitting in a mans back yard- I didn't have money at the time so I didnt even ask if it was for sale. 5 Years later I was coming home from a fishing trip with my wife and son and happened to come down the road where is was near. I told my wife about it, she said "go look" turned the corner and wow, it never moved for 5 years. Talked to the owner, told him my first car was a 71 and when I sold it along time ago that I was going to get another one. From the street it looked like a normal /baseline charger- as I got closer to it I saw the powerbulge hood, and when I walked up to it I saw the bee on the hood. I gave it a good lookover, we chatted about it, the Original owner tld me to give it some thought. came back the following week and talked some more, I made a offer, he told me he was offered more but liked the way I talked about the car and I could get it for a grand. Needless to say- SOLD! So as we were loading the car up on a trailer he said" wait, I have to give you the rest of the car." And promptly opened the little storage shed that was beside the car and handed out many boxes. Only thing he kept trying to tell my wife is that for me to paint it back the original color and not change it to plum crazy purple with a white top. LOL

The more I have looked at the color the more it has grown on me- and even my dad said that it wouldn't be the same if I changed the color. So back original it is- only thing I thought about changing is putting the hideaways in the front. But maybe not - I havent priced them but could be expensive.

Has anyone mentioned what a steal that was?

But seriously, get as much info as you can, write it up and submit it to a magazine. Make sure to include the bit about dad backing into it. You're sure to be published (and someone will likely provide you with a quarter panel.)

What you've got is the type of thing many dream of. Congrats!

Thanks everyone ,

on a side not I have a option to uy a ramcharger setup for a flat hood (so it looks like it would have the hood bubble) If I bought this would it take away from my car or should I just leave it with what I have now?
I would love to have a air grabber setup for the 383.
I just love the look of it.

If you can get a COMPLETE ramcharger set-up for the car at a reasonably price then get it. It could cost you close to 4500.00 if you have to get everything individually. Some of the parts are down right close to impossible to find and very expensive like an original switch and solenoid. Air cleaners for a 383 for this hood are quite common and show up on ebay often as do most of the other parts.

Nice ride.  We are working on my brothers 71 Bee 383 airgrabber, yellow.  We are working on the passenger quarter panel.  We had to do some modifications to the trunk extensions and fabricate some pieces before we can welld the quarter on.  It's not an aftermarket quarter.  It's one that we cut out of a 72 and using the existing 71 side marker lights.  Just make sure you get either a 71 or 72 quarter panel.  Watch out for the aftermarket stuff.

I personally prefer the Superbee hood. Plus, not buying the Ramcherger setup will save you a few grand you can put into other, more neccisary parts of the cars restoration.

And, damn, I love those 71 Bee's.

Your car needs to be repainted.  Keep the Bee hood and get a ramcharger hood.  Paint both of them.  That way you can switch them out.  It will not hurt the value of the car.  I personally think that adding a ramcharger hood wll increase the value.

Yes, the air grabber was an option. Unfortunately, I don't have either on my Bee. I just have a regular bulge hood. The original hood was missingwhen I bought the car in '89.

OK,
Update 1-17-2008

I had to put the SuperBee on hold for a little while. Bought a new house with a 4 bay "equipment shelter" that I plan on turning into a garage.
So we bought a house, had to sell the old house- had 2 morgauges at one time....
Sold old house and now the restoration will continue .
I still have not had time to finish assembling the 383 yet...

So,
Once I get the 383 back together/ installed/ broken in Ill get video/pics and post them up. Does anyone know a good way to prime the oil before starting it? I have seen the primer shafts u use with a drill and do before start up- might need to pick one up.
Also, I notice the bottom of the distributor is slotted, so is it safe to say the timing would be dead on or 180 off?
Man this place has changed since I have dissapeared for a little while.

I'm going to need a top and the drivers floorpan for starters.
And Im having trouble deciding if I should make it a straight HT car or put the white vinyl top back on..

Missed ya guys, just been busy taking care of things/house/wife/kid, now he's 6 years old and is eager to help dad work on the Superbee, he tells all his frends it's the coolest car.

I like the HT look myself. My Bee is supposed to have a vinyl top, but I just had the paint guys paint it black and put the trim back on. If I ever get it painted again, I will do the same thing again. Just my  :Twocents:.

Kinda cool your gonna have a little helper. :2thumbs: Post the pics when you can.

Thanks,
I think I will put the vinyl top back on-it has kinda grown on me now that I think about it. My father said it wouldn't be my car if it did not have it on... but I have to source a rust free top to replace the one that is on it now. It has rusted out across the front near the top of the winshield.

I had gave an Idea to turn it to a Hemi car, but I think I will be just as happy making it a 440 6/pk later on , always wanted one  :2thumbs:

List of pieces I need so far to get this going:
New top
drivers floorpan
turnsignal lens and cover for passenger side rear quarter (where my father backed into it by accident)
I might need a quarter panel for the driver's side and possibly the outer wheelwell for that side as well.
New leafsprings/shackles
New gastank and straps.

It came with the 14x6 Magnum 500's, going to upgrade to 15x7 front 15x8 rear .
I have alot on the plate in '08 but I am going to drive the Bee this year. I can't stand to see it sit anymore.

Many thanks to those who give insight/help in advance,
Trying to make a dream become reality.

I just saw your 71 bee in your avitar and that Blue is absolutely gorgeous. :2thumbs:
Mine is like a burnt copper color, I dont remember the paint code.
I know it came from the factory with the HD suspension, HD Transmission, but with  open diff and 4wheel non power drum brakes.
I'd like to change it to disc upfront and add a posi later on as well.

The pics above do not do the car justice. These were taken with my digital camcorder, that has the option to be used as a camera as well.
I was messing with the settings and that is how they turned out.
I have removed the pics from the original post in this thread and was going to reup them- but photobucket is being a pain in the a$$.
So when I can finally login to my PB account I will reupload the original pics and update the thread with what I have.

G'day Couga,

always to see other peoples Super Bee's. I think you'll like it more with front disc brakes. As for the diff, I've just finished rebuilding mine with a 3.55 Sure Grip from Moparts P&S. Runs great and only did the axle bearings a couple of days ago as well. It's never ending on these cars, isn't it ? :shruggy:

Yes it's never ending- If I get the top replaced and the new motor back in and some fresh rubber I'm taking it on a small road trip.

Mike,
I plan on getting it on th site, I work at nights and sleep most of the day - so I haven't had much time to do it but it will be there :)

I also had a bad experience last week, I was on the way home- just around the corner from my house and a deer jumped out in front of me and I hit it. Well I got lucky and it didnt go through the winshield it flew over the drivers side of the car and landed in a ditch. As I stopped it got up and ran off. So now I have had to source a hood and new headlights for my 91 notchback mustang 4cyl I use for my daily.

I believe I saw a thread with Butterbee asking about a certain aftermarket mfg body parts?
I believe I will need a drivers side lower patch panel, and I was wondering about the fit. Or would it just be better to get  a clean 1/4 cut off and sent to me off another car?

I'll take pics of what I am talking about and post up tomorrow.

The list gets longer and longer.... lol

Update::
Met Goldfinger 71 at a local shop that I plan on having my top replaced at.
Got things taken care of so now I can turn my attention back to the 'Bee.
I'll get pics/video once I get the engine in.

Wow,
It's been a looooong time...

I have acquired some parts since the last time I got here. New Qtr panels are on the way, and a inner wheelhouse and trunk extension for the driver's side.

Talked to the shop about replacing the sheetmetal, so things are moving forward. I will know once I get the parts in. Now I need a drivers side floor pan, or do they make these 1 piece now?

I'll update the thread soon,
Thanks,
Steve

Ok,
Update..
I have 2 ful Qrtr panels, drivers side innner wheelhouse, and trunk extension on the way from AMD. I was pleasantly advised that these are stamped and the original thickness sheetmetal from Dave and will post pics when I get them home. :2thumbs:


Still looking for a floorpan, and possibly a roof.

I have been turning the "equipment shelter" into a garage so I can work on the Bee and the Cougar.

I have to say I'm looking forward to getting this on the road finally, even though it will probably be months ahead.

Thanks FJ6N96 I will go check the site out and register it as well.

383 Magnum is coming along nicely, I put in a mopar purple shaft 272 duration cam ,(if I remember correctly) I think it was a little more than factory- think I am going to have to use a stall converter with this? I am also running a factory intake as well.

Thanks in adavance,

Steve
