69 Super Bee - First Classic Muscle Car!

The owner put an extremely well-built 360 in it for some reason. It sounds great and ironically pulls about as hard as the 72 Charger 440 6 pack I drove.

I have heard from several people over the years that the motor that never was for a B Body is actually a great upgrade. I think there is some weight savings, and the crate 360s seem to be good performers. I almost bought a Super Bee clone with a 360 two years ago and was impressed with the performance.

I think if you are going to spend $$$$ and not care about return on investment and want performance and reliability I'd do a modern Hemi driveline from a SRT Challenger salvage, or buy off the shelf from MOPAR Performance.

Sounds like you are searching for the 'pro touring' kind of MOPAR people. They are out there and the magazines are starting to recognize them and do more coverage.

Chargers are money in the bank right now no matter what you do.

Enjoy your new car.

Funny you say get a new new Hemi driveline 'if don't care about ROI'. Well classic cars with modern high hp drivelines are actually commanding great values. I personally think I want to retain the charisma of old school carburetor.
