1969 Dodge Super Bee 440

[Tig]

This 1969 Dodge Super Bee is the genuine article, a true WM21 code car factory equipped with the 440/375 HP Magnum V-8 engine and Hurst Pistol Grip-shifted heavy duty 4-speed manual transmission. Festooned in bright Yellow with Black accents and a sharp White-on-Black bucket seat interior, it has been upgraded during a frame-up restoration with the addition of a Six Pack induction system incorporating the triple 2-barrel carburetion setup with special manifold, air cleaner and twin-inlet scooped hood with hold down pins.

I can dig it.

What are those vents behind the doors supposed to do?

Look good.

They are just simulated scoops.

In theory, if they were real, they would funnel air into the wheel well to cool the brakes.

and the REALLY crazy thing is.......if that were a 426 Hemi (and original) instead of the 440.....you could just about add a zero to that number messedup0

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Nah. Maybe add a one in front of it, though.

A 69 Hemi Super Bee went for $107,000 at auction in 2007.

Yeah, but there were a lot less HEMI cudas made. And less HEMIs in general at the time E-Body HEMI cudas were available.

And the market has settled down a bit in the last couple of years. So much so, that if I were to finish my Charger project tomorrow, I'd be upside down on cost compared to market value.
That's why I'm not in a great hurry to finish it. Not that I'm looking to cash in, it just takes a little bit of the fervour out the process.

I built a model of one when I was a teenager. My cousin helped me paint all the parts first. I think it was one of the first times I tried to get all the details right. Probably the hardest part to do was the headlights & grille area. I remember raiding my auntie's craft box for jewels to use in the headlights.... she was not amused.
