In 1982 I purchased a blue one 383 4 speed air grabber hood for 700 bucks. Those were the days

The Superbee decal and badge is figgin awesome! Coolest car logo to come out of the late sixties and a great one-up on the Roadrunner cartoon.

The bee graphic on the side of the scoop is a cool detail, this car rocks

Nice. Glad to see that one has an actual carburetor instead of a computer.

As a kid back in 1974, my buddies parents had this exact car. Same color, same interior. He always stated that it was a special car and I find myself thinking about that car years later. It's nice to see the video on it here!

Great looking Charger!!👍👍

You could also get the 440 six pack in 1971 in the Charger Super Bee. I had one and it was a great car.

Air grabber is one of the coolest options ever.

That trunk is not only big enough to haul your groceries, it looks clean enough to eat them too. Nice car, and very rare indeed. Thank you for sharing ~ Chuck

Love your expertise on mopars. I owned many mopars in the 70's. My dad bought a basic 70 Roadrunner 383 3 speed standard transmission. Lemon twist yellow. Dog dish hubcaps for $2,495 at Rosenstock Chrysler Plymouth in Houston Texas.

One of your best! A superb mix of oral delivery, car matter and factual knowledge.

Steve, as an owner of a 71 Superbee I go along with really liking the styling of the 71. I like the clean flowing overall look.

The stock ‘71 Bee hood was quite distinct and couldn’t be mistaken. It has an insert on the bubble with ridges and 383 Magnum badging on both side of the insert as opposed to all 71 Chargers which are all on the sides of the power bulge hood. Dodge had many gorgeous hoods and I wish this car had that but I realize a lot of people like the air grabber.

My buddy had a 72 340 4 speed car . Would love to own this one

Mother had a 71 Dodge Charger with the 440 in n it. Black on black. It was bought cheap in a car lot in the 80s.

I painted my friend's 71 roadrunner black metallic imron.(383 4sp.) in my backyard , immaculate.

Absolutely stunning. The color and graphics on this bee are spot on and gorgeous.....so amazing! Now I have to go change my underwear...wheew !

I have worked on old cars my entire life since the 60's and I still learn something on every one of Steve's videos, this and junkyard crawl are my favorite two channels

I had a 71 satalite and a 71 cuda, I sold the cuda in 77 for 500 bucks in good shape, you couldn't give these cars away back then.

I've always loved this body style

Now that’s a rare bird

Nice job!!! Haven't seen a video in weeks

Very, very nice indeed!

Beautiful car Steve, enjoyed

I had one of these as well, the color was a little different. Purple with white interior. It got me my first ticket, for loud exhaust of course.

With the VIN, we win: W for Charger, M for Medium price class, 23 for two door hardtop, N for 383 V8 with four barrel, high performance, 1 for 1971 model year, A for Lynch Road, Detroit, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Lynch Road facility closed in April 1981 and a powder coating business is on that property now. With the tag, we can brag: G11 for tinted glass, all windows, P31 for power windows, V1W for White full vinyl top, U for USA spec vehicle, FE5 for Bright Red exterior paint, TX9 for black interior trim, N96 for fresh air hood, 215 for Monday February 15, 1971 production/scheduling, E65 for 383 V8 with four barrel, high performance, 300 HP, D21 for four speed manual transmission, among other codes. That ring terminal/battery cable set up has to go. It looks hokey and backyard installed. It has no place on a "restored car".

The 71 Superbee also came with a large hood insert with engine displacement emblems. I owned a 71 3 speed standard transmission with the 383 magnum.

Awesome 👌

Your videos are great! So knowledgeable and your delivery is sublime. Thank you!

I subbed about 4 seconds in to the video

Gorgeous car!

Cute Snail graphic on the Air-Grabber.😉 Actually pretty-neat cars. We restored a '71 R/T Hemi-Charger some years back. An original Mr. Norms Grand Spaulding Dodge car. Large and Plum Crazy. We of course dubbed it "Barney."

Thank you Steve!👍

I took my driving test in a 71 charger

Good job

Sorry Steve your wrong, 71 383 300hp and electronic ignition available starting in 72. Thats an add on.

I gotta get some scratch tickets today.

Would luuuv this car. 383 4 speed is an awesome combo.

Not quite 330HP in '71 as the 383 compression ratio was reduced to 8.5-1...down to 300HP (SAE gross).

Love it!

Improvement on the 68-70???!!! WHAT 😳😳😳??!!

Super Sport Steve!!!!!

Love them chargers

nice...very nice

So many of these beautiful Mopars got thrashed by baby boomers who believed these cars would only improve on into the 1970's. NOT so! 50 years ago, this month the great oil embargo by OPEC hit the states and that was the end of the golden musclecar era. Today, any surviving muscle cars are worth a fortune... especially the huge big block engines. Some are well into 6 figures and the cream of the crop are now 7 figures.😮

Kidd I grew up with had a 440 six pack

I have the same car, but mine is an automatic, in Citron Yella. And it has the Gull Wing rear spoiler.

Nice Charger !!!

Sweet I had a 72 charger 440 magnum

It's got a 73/74 rear valance.

I found the clapped out sister to this car on a buy here pay here lot back in around '85. It was more worn out than a hooker on a troop ship, but it was a real 383 4 spd car with the Ramcharger hood that was intact. The interior was trashed and it had cut pile carpet that looked like it came out of your great aunt's house in 1974. The orange paint had turned to Tang mix, and the vinyl top was shredded. They wanted $950 for it , and I never liked the '71 and up charger enough to buy it. About a month later I bought a '71 Satellite with a 318 auto for $200. Plymouth did a way better job with the styling on their fuselage B bodies IMO, like the '72-'74 E bodies. One thing I'll never forget about that Super Bee was that there had to have been 2 feet of dead space between the radiator and the grille.

Though that is an amazing car, I greatly prefer the older body style super bee. I really like the squared and sharp body lines prior!

I have a 71 charger r/t. 440 six pack.

Be more interesting with the asking price included. Cheers 🇨🇦

Let’s see the 71 TRANS AM !

Most rusted away,but this bee is still stinging Z28 s

Looks like Tor Red the color of my 71 Charger Se with the 440

I realy loved the mopars in the early 70.s whrn thry wete useing B .BODYS MUTCH BETTER SWINGERS CUDAS DARTS.72 VALIANTS DUD LIKE YHE DUSTERS EITHER STARTING TO GET 2 BIG ..71 SWINGER WAS A GRATE HOT ROD

I don’t remember seeing a ‘71 Bee with 14” road wheels. Were they standard?

Ill take it!

Superb, except the tires.

Hey it's Wednesday the 14 and you haven't posted on your other channel, hopefully everything is ok with you and shane let us know your ok please

What about the 109 440 six packs and 26 440s?

Buyer Be Aware! One of the most “Fake” classic muscle cars are The Super Bees. This one, if real (yes, people switch fender tags and dash plates!) is cool with power windows in it. Maybe the gentleman forgot but that is not the original steering wheel that came with the car.

1971 is the true "cut off" year for classic muscle cars. Anything from 1962 to 71 are the "golden years" of the classic muscle car era. After 1971, muscle cars had the engines detuned with lower compression ratios meaning LOWER horsepower. Stay away from "factory stock" engines from 1972 on through the mid 80s. 1 exception Pontiac t/am 455 SD. It was the last of the true muscle cars.

Steve, what compression was the '71 383 Magnum, still around 10-10.5/1? 👍🏁

Was Dodge applying build tags with screws?

I’d rather have the standard black ball shifter knob. Never liked the pistol grip.

Looks like they had lots of room.

The 71 383 was only rated at 300 hp due to a compression drop not 330

Ford should have copied those exhaust tips for Torino, they were straight and not a good look.

i like 1972 better as well as 1972 Satellite

Never liked vinyl tops, otherwise great car when not in red. Lol

In what alternative universe are you living in where you think a Dodge Charger Super Bee with a 383 could ever be had new for "Way less than three thousand bucks"? Not true.

Actually, these exhaust manifolds are gimmicks. They do not do anything in terms of power. There is a good dyno test on the internet that compares the standard and HP manifolds on a 440, and there is no difference at all! But the exhaust manifolds are visible, so they were a good way to add visual hp. These bigger manifolds heat up the underhood air more, so they decrease performance.

Cool car but it's amazing what people think a 300 HP car with drum brakes is worth

No one remembers the 68 1/2 super b Everyone remembers the 69 1/2 super Bee .. just sayin😊

How is it even possible to go from what many consider the most beautiful body lines on a car in the world, to that? I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but come on, really? Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of cars that were way more ugly in 1971(almost any Ford), but compared to the 68-70 Charger, It was clearly a step down.

Thats a nice looking car but man the 71+ sure are ugly compared to the second gen cars.

My dream car.
