US 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee National Award Winning Charger Superbee 440 Six Pack V8 4 Speed Dana 60 3. 54 Year: 1971 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Yellow Mileage: 458 Transmission type: 4 Speed Manual Engine: 440 V8 Interior color: Black Vehicle info When the Charger was redesigned in 1971. it took the Super Bee with it. The result is a one-year-only combination of modern "fuselage" styling and brute '60s-style horsepower. This impressive 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee is an authentic V-code/4-speed car that's been restored to a level seldom seen on newer muscle cars. And just in case you're wondering. here's the fender tag decode proving that this car is the real deal:WM23:Dodge Coronet.

BlackEND: End of Sales CodesTop Banana was an unusual color in '71. but it is correct on this Super Bee. Applied over laser-straight bodywork and some of the most perfectly aligned panels I've ever seen. this is a seriously good-looking car. The long nose/short deck styling made popular with the pony cars translated well to the new Charger. and this one looks fast just sitting still. Loaded with all the eye-popping graphics available. including the longitudinal tape stripes and Super Bee graphic on the fully functional fresh air hood. there's no color combination more fitting for a car such as this. Add in the satin black deck lid mounted wing. the matching chin spoiler. and racy hood pins. and this car looks plenty aggressive. even if it didn't have a nasty 440 living underneath. The trim and bright work have been expertly restored as well. Note that this car carries the L37 hidden headlamps. which work as they should. as well as the fender-mounted turn signal indicators. The emblems are bright and crisp. including the 'Six Pack' callouts on the hood and Super Bee logos on the front fenders. As a link to the past. the tail lights are housed in an argent silver panel. and the two exhaust tips peek out of the rear valence in custom-fitted notches. Horsepower was still in fashion in 1971. and Chrysler was more than willing to serve it up for anyone who asked. Unfortunately. the same insurance premiums and gas price spikes that ultimately killed the big blocks limited customers. On the other hand. that makes cars like this one with its 385 horsepower 440 Six Pack engine and 4-speed manual transmission incredibly rare and valuable today. The engine bay is immaculately finished. and quite honestly. it's worlds nicer than it was even when it was new. The block glistens with bright Hemi Orange paint. the inner fenders have been finished to the same standards as the external bodywork. and the plated parts are shiny and clean. A fresh Richard Petty autograph lives beneath the bright 'Six Pack' logo on the massive air cleaner. and proper factory markings in places like the cylinder heads and firewall have been accurately duplicated. Little details like the painted ground cable. the correct wiper motor on the firewall. and the finish on the power brake booster all add credibility to the amazing restoration work. A correct 4-speed manual transmission remains behind the big block. and in true Mopar fashion. all the heavy duty gear was included. That means the transmission is a rugged 18-spline unit. and out back there's a Dana 60 with 3. 54 gears on a Sure Grip limited slip. making this a car that cruises effortlessly at speeds that'll get you thrown in jail. The bottom of the car is as spotless as the top. with exceptional detailing visible throughout. Just look at the floors. which are finished so nicely you'll feel guilty if you don't wax them. and the properly painted suspension components that will bring home the big trophies. A new dual exhaust system with factory style mufflers and tips was installed. there's a new gas tank out back. and the power disc brakes have been fully rebuilt. And like the engine bay. you'll definitely be impressed by the details and how crisply executed they are. including all the brackets. fittings. and hoses that show bright plating and an authentic finish. Proving that good looks never go out of style. the Rallye wheels were carryover from the earlier cars. and they wear reproduction F60-15 Goodyear Polyglas tires at all four corners. The '71 Charger also received an all-new interior which. in typical Mopar fashion. was stylish and well-executed. With comfortable high-back bucket seats sporting fresh seat covers. a comprehensive dashboard that includes a 7. 00 RPM tachometer. and upscale woodgrain appliqus that actually look quite convincing. it's a great place to spend a few hours listening to the music if the big block under the hood. Also note the leather-wrapped Tuff Wheel. the pistol-grip shifter. and the lack of a console-after all. this was still intended to be a budget supercar. The original and unique Music Master AM radio still lives in the dash. with both its knobs skewed to the left and the dial on the right. and a matching yellow Super Bee emblem has been fitted on the passenger's side. New door panels. a taut fitting headliner. and matching black Super Bee logo floor mats complete the interior appointments. making this a car that's ready to show or drive at almost any level. Even the trunk is beautifully finished. with more near-flawless Top Banana paint. a correct fitted mat. and a space-saver spare with complete jack assembly. When a classic is restored to this level. it's primed for show time. Naturally. this Charger's previous owner accumulated a variety of awards.
