The stripe looks stupid. That alone turns me off from it.

 

[Runcharger]

Yup.

At least put a stripe where it should have been even though they never did one.

 

[Durandal25]

....its so odd they added that stripe. Why?

Funny how many Dodge-inspired rump stripes you see on Plymouths. It's like they think that just because it's a MoPar you can cross-pollinate all that you want. Yet you never see a Pontiac screaming chicken on the hood of a Camaro or Chebbie stereo stripes on a GS or a Goat. Why is it that the MoPar crowd are the only ones that don't seem to understand the separation between their own brands? Freakin' annoying...

It’s on eBay

And I also don’t like this car. Auto on the column ruins most for me unless it a 6 cylinder valiant.

Those GM cars had their own engines. My older brother commented when I bought my ‘70 Charger... I always knew Plymouths were cooler, because they didn’t have bees on them. To me they are the same. But I agree, that stripe looks like a Pep Boys special!

It's all personal expression, but what I don't understand it why people don't put them on with Wrap materials. You're going to sell it one day, so why not make modifications temporary?

I agree! It’s like when I see a magnum pie plate on a commando equipped Plymouth. Pet peeve. Or an Airgrabber on a super bee

 

[Richard Cranium]

Lots to straighten out here.

Are we looking at a Road Bee or a Super Runner ?

I agree. There’s an A12 Super Bee for sale at $149,000... column shift auto!

This looks familiar. I think it was on eBay a few years ago. Seller was in Texas as I recall (not a dealer).

 

[chtampa]

That is the most stretched definition of "Restored" that I have ever seen.

 

[ACME A12]

I remember seeing this "Super Bee" on FB several years ago... Probably the same guy that built this RR...

"San Ramon California"
"USA HotCars"
I sense a theme....

I would suggest to you that most people who do such things aren't "Mopar crowd" people at all, but
instead don't know cars well at all - and certainly don't know much about Mopars, nor are they dyed-in-the-wool
like most of us are.

I like "Super Road Bee" myself.
