Notice the flawless relection, and the front wheel ads, those are rare!

It's a 4 speed, and this lucky guy.... his wife digs muscle cars! Drives a 4 speed GTX!

Dodge Super Bee info, from Wikipedia

Pictured is the 69 440 six pack, a12 option. As close to a factory race car as they got at the factory with factory parts, without dealership add ons, or special shop work like the Hurst cars.
Non Functional dress up rear brake scoops, and a fiberglass lift off hood. The hood is unusally interesting, since my superbee looked like this one I'll wax eloquent for a minute.

The lift off hood had about 4 important features that were beneficial to the racers,
1) it was as lightweight as they could be,
2) not in the way at all when you needed to work in or around the engine,
3) had the biggest freaking scoop for lots of cold air to increase the air fuel mixture with denser colder air than would be around the hot engine. Cold air = dense air = more oxygen molecules per square inch = more combustion = more power without adding a dime to the ocst of the engine parts. Ramming cold outside air was determined to be good for 10-15 horsepower.
4) flat black, not glossy, paint on the hood has 10 to 15% more heat transfer than any other color. Ever wear a black cotton shirt in the sun, and notice it was hot to the touch? The heat transfer was important to keep the engine running cooler = more powerful. Similar heat transfer desire is the reason the rear axle housing is black, why radiators are black, and ususally, all the engine bay hoses, components, and inner fender wells next to the exhaust manifolds. Conversely, the white coating on headers helps through a resistance of heat transfer to keep the heat inside the headers, and flowing out of the engine bay, in order to help keep the engine cool.


I didn't know that the 71 Bee could be ordered with a 340, or that any came with 440 four barrels. Learn some thing new every day.

The Mopar six pack

The '69 'Bee deserves special mention here. Since it was the first car to wear the Six Pack label, it is, of course, the image that pops into most Mopar gearhead's minds when someone says Six Pack. Sure, we know the '69 'Runner was the same car; it just didn't say Six Pack. The Dodge name is the one that stuck.

Car Life magazine, in its July 1969 issue, sang high praise of the car -- and in more than drag action. "Decent brakes" and "superpredictable and superresponsive" are phrases they used to describe the handling of the 'Bee, but their last paragraph said it all: ". . . a drag-strip terror; a Hemi equalizer; and a 3,800-pound, 117-inch wheelbase slalom car." Did these guys like the 'Bee, or what?

For 1970, Chrysler wasn't about to let a good thing slip through their hands again, so they tooled up for an in-house iron version of the manifold. They also vastly widened the motor's availability, making it an option for the 'Cuda, Challenger, Road Runner, Super Bee, GTX, Coronet R/T, Charger R/T and "winged-thing No. 2," the Superbird.

Even land-yacht enthusiasts were happy in '70: The six-barrel monster wedge could be had in a C-body, the Sport Fury GT.

The Sport Fury GT with a 440 6 barrel, weighed in at 4216 pounds, had 3:23 gears and a torque flight. Ran the 1/4 in 16.01 at 92.5 mph by Road Test HP magazine, May 1970.

Ronnie Sox (the best stick shift racer to run a 1/4 mile) had a 69 440 6 bbl Road Runner across the 1320 in 12.98 seconds at 111.66 mph, Drag Racing magazine June 1969

I own the yellow one, love the multi carb set ups!
