MY

1969 Dodge SuperBee

This car is originally from Tucson, Arizona and was purchased brand new from Bill Breck Dodge back in 1968. It has never been sold out of state since it rolled off the showroom here 30+ years ago.  I actually traded my 1969 Roadrunner for this car from Ron and Debbie Peterson of  Tucson, who  were the 3rd owners of this car.  The SuperBee was totally restored and modified when I got it and Ron did an excellent job.  The quality workmanship is obvious.  Ron focused a lot of attention to details in the engine compartment during the rebuild of  this car.  The engine gets the most compliments at car shows.  

The original paint was F5 green metallic with white interior and a white vinyl top.  I think the  "Hemi" orange with a black vinyl top and black interior does it justice.  The paint job is over 13 years old and still looks fantastic.  The transmission was also changed from an automatic to a 4-speed, meeting all factory specifications. In other words unless you read the fender tag, you'd never know it.  

The drive train starts with a 383 Magnum (numbers matching), A-833 manual 4-speed, and Centerforce dual friction street/strip clutch, a 800cfm Holley 4bbl.carburator, Mopar Performance Cam 280/.474" lift, Wiend accelerator single plane intake,  MSD 6AL ignition system, Hooker Comp. Headers, 2 chamber flowmasters, with 2.5" pipe all the way back to factory tail pipe extensions.  It's also equipped with a 8 3/4" Sure-Grip and 4.30 gears, toped off with a set of Hoosier "Quick Time" Street /Strip tires (325X50X D-15) mounted on a set of "Magnum 500's" with a 4.5" backspacing .  It even has  functioning A/C!!!  This car had a few passes at Southwestern International Drag strip, but was running in the mid 12's as last recorded.......not bad for 2500 feet above sea level. 

The "Bulge" hood I may change to a six-pac hood later down the road. 

Load 'em up and get ready for the show

SpringFling "2001"

This is the latest picture of the SuperBee with the newly mounted Mickey Thompson 28 X 12.5 X 15"  "E.T. Streets".  To top it off, I recently found a set of E.T. polished aluminum deep dish slotted mags (15 x 8.5")  at a local swap meet. The backspacing was a little less than the 4.5" inches the seller had claimed, which made for a very tight fit in the wheel well.  I may have to resort back to the Magnum 500's if it becomes a problem, or consider other alternatives.
