In the early 1970s, as the automotive world began to shift towards fuel efficiency and safety, high performance muscle cars faced increasing pressure. Insurance premiums soared, and car manufacturers were forced to adapt.

Despite these challenges, the Dodge Charger Super Bee continued to fascinate enthusiasts with its raw power and distinctive styling. The Super Bee, originally introduced in 1968 as a standalone model, was transformed into a trim level of the Charger in 1971.

While the base model could be equipped with a smaller 340 cubic inch engine, most buyers opted for more powerful options like the 383, 440, or even the legendary 426 Hemi.

One such Super Bee, featuring a 440 Six Pack engine, is now available for purchase. According to KD’s Auto Sales, the garage handling the sale, this particular car is in exceptional condition and completely original. All numbers match, and the car is said to be in excellent driving condition.

While the seller could have provided more details about any potential restorations, the car’s condition is evident in the accompanying photos. The Super Bee’s lights, signals, and gauges are all functional, further emphasizing its well preserved state. The rarity of this specific Super Bee is a factor that will undoubtedly appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. The combination of its powerful engine, original condition, and timeless design makes it a highly sought-after vehicle.

Dodge produced a limited number of Super Bees this year, with only approximately 5,000 examples hitting the market. Among these, a particularly rare variant is up for auction: a Gunmetal Gray Super Bee equipped with a Six Pack engine and an automatic transmission. According to the seller, this specific car is one of just 99 such vehicles produced, and one of only 69 with an automatic gearbox.

The color combination of this Super Bee is another point of interest. The Gunmetal Gray exterior with matching interior and black roof is believed by many to be a unique configuration among Six Pack-equipped Super Bees.

However, a third-party inspection would be advisable to confirm this detail. Given its rarity and desirability, it’s no surprise that this Super Bee is attracting significant interest. The current highest bid of $25,100 has not yet met the reserve price, and the auction is still ongoing.

With 41 bids and 39 watchers, it’s clear that this car is generating excitement among collectors. Located in Pompano Beach, Florida, it remains to be seen who will ultimately claim this iconic muscle car.
