1971 Super Bee Project

[Manzolds]

I bought this 1971 Super Bee back in October, 2019.

It is an original B5 Blue car.

I have been slowly going at it, collecting parts, restoring some of them, buying NOS and used parts as I go along.

Below are pictures of the car as purchased and it's current state in the body shop as of 10/20/2022.

Previous owner did not get very far with it.

I have the car totally disassembled, down to the shell on rollers at the body shop currently, coming along slow but surely.

Original 383 4 speed car with 3.91 gears, it had a 440 HP installed of which I sold the other day to a FBBO member.

I sold it when a friend of mine let me know about a Hemi that was included when he bought out a local technical training school.

I purchased the 426 Hemi to install in it, currently at the engine shop, soon to be dyno tested.

I sold the chrome valve covers and scored a set of originals with the black krinkle finish.

I will post dyno test results once it has been run and other pictures as the project moves along.

I love the Ramcharger hoods on those.

It's going to be a sweet ride when it is done! They look great in B5! The Ramcharger hood and hidden headlight grille are killer on these cars! I got a few 71 Chargers in the works!

Good year for Chargers, especially Bees.
