This is my Dodge:
"Super Bee Recreation" Our car started life as a basic 1970 Coronet 440
model w/a 318/904 drive train and factory A/C. Purchased in 2009 w/only
53,299 original miles on it I built what I would have bought back in
1970. Color is FC-7 Plum Crazy Purple w/white vinyl top/bench seat
interior and reverse "C" stripe. The car retains all original sheet
metal except of course for the hood which was replace w/a Bulge Super
Bee hood. Everything was either replaced/repaired or restored on the car
from bumper to bumper. It now has a 1971 HP 440 under the hood
(disguised as a 383) with balanced six pack rods/balanced forged six
pack crankshaft cut .0020/balanced to match pistons/rods/crank..030 cast
flattop pistons/Mopar performance Hemi purple shaft cam kit w/.474
lift/heads are stock 906's that are planed, new guides and valve job.
Also stainless steel valve seats installed w/stock valve springs...mated
to an 833 4 speed pistol grip with sure grip out back and 355 gears. We
belong to Maritime Mopars in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. The restoration
was finished in December of 2011 and we plan on adding many miles to the
car as it was built to drive....
