Driving cross country to California

October 12th, 2009

Those among us lucky enough to be around in the 70s when this fantastic automobile came out drool whenever we consider it.  Imagine getting a vehicle from the factory with a 455 cubic inch engine in it!This car kicked butt!  Then if you probably did some work, like we did to ours, as in having the engine blue outlined, balanced and a ton more, it did even better.  Let’s just say it was doing much better then one hp per cubic inch!

This was the era of Smokey and the Bandit movies.  Good ole boy Burt Reynolds drove a black Trans Am in the film and everybody and his uncle all of a sudden wanted one.  Naturally, by that time the ones they were selling were watered down versions with no where close to the power of the first ones. 

Since we’re not sure of the statute of restrictions, let’s just say that any stories are thought to start’Once upon A Time’. 

One of our fave stories is when we were getting onto sunrise road late one evening and a Camaro rolled up next to us and started revving his engine, well you can imagine the rest.Here was a poor soul who had not a clue of what was in store.  Since we don’t believe in street racing, it definitely was a good thing we were both going onto the entrance ramp.  Once we were satisfied that no one was on the parkway at that point of night, we let the Beast Out To Play.  We never did see any more then his fading headlights.

One of the funniest moments was when we lived in upstate NY and my husband went to the store to pick something up and this man in a Mustang 2 pulled up next to him and my man had a good time ( hey, we are all titled sometimes ).  As Chuck tells it : You see at that point a local car dealer was running a television spot featuring a Mustang 2 just destroying a Trans Am.  So this gentleman pulls up next to me, gunning his engine for all he’s's worth.  The light changes, he chirps his tires and flashes me an enormous grin as he’s taking off.  Well, I idle away from the light,give it sufficient gas in first to tug even with him, then drop the hammer, lighting up both tires, throw second, light them up again and then ease off.  Drive down the line to the store.

When I come out of the store this man has finally got there and is waiting for me and says,’but the commercial claims Mustangs will beat the pants off the Trans Am.’ I extraordinarily blithely responded,’Not this Trans Am!’

They don’t make them like this anymore.  It’s downcast when you concentrate on it!  Those of us who lived and grew up in the age of the muscle cars, street rods, Sat. night cruise nights were very,very lucky.  I feel sorry for the youth of today that they missed out on all of this. 

So what has happened to that great 455 Trans Am, sadly the oppressive upstate NY winters are not kind to automobiles and rust took the Trans Am from us.  However, we probably did replace it – with a customised 1973 Vette, which we drove cross country to California, but that is a full nother story!

Quickest way to discover dodge super bee six pack

October 2nd, 2009

People buying the dodge super bee probably will not care any more about the car low grade interior than they do about CO2 emissions warming/cooling the planet. I have family that sold an original 1969 440 six pack, that drove fine and it is paint even still looked good for $60,000 to a guy over the phone that did not even take it for a test drive. Car markup price does not lasted long, buy one in Texas for below manufacturer suggested retail price. They gave it a newly stylized hood, sporting the dual hood scoops.

The dodge super bee six pack two door cars came in two styles, the hard top, and the coupe, the hard top style being the best seller. And was a powerful car especially with the 440 V8 Wedge engine. One would probably not guess it by the name, but it was a limited production muscle car and produced from 1968 through 1971. But it still remained popular with buyers looking for high performance at a reasonable cost. It follows in the same tradition of the famous muscle cars from the past. And near Colorado they display the merchandise items of the makers including since 1978 taking your parts to one of each new model.

In the next read we will be adding parts for dodge super bee. We sell diesel truck that most truck Additives to being effective dodge brakes for your ford parts to products available. This is how it will appear on your car profile. Excitement of late 1960s was the theme of street rod muscle cars. With the stripe that is similar to the one that is on the old dodge charger, and dodge challenger. More than that, those numbers put it ahead, which had a six pack 440-cubic-inch engine putting out 390 horse power and 390 of torque, good for quarter mile times of 13 seconds flat at 110 miles per hour right out of the box.

The six pack was previously used on the mid year 1969 dodge super bee and plymouth road runner. It was made the move from the coronet line to the charger line for 1971 only, then the model was discontinued. My local car dealer, that I had purchased several new cars, was playing games with the purchase of a new car. Car work and painting in body shop, personal consumer information with this website will be confidential. This is as my first car and the subject of hot rod operation buildup of the early 90s, that was my first choice.

A few lines seem to have come straight from someone that has never been near the cars. For example, the dodge super bee and plymouth road runner had identical bodies. It is a full numbers matching with a 383 4 speed combination and a lot of rare options. We have also just purchased an all numbers matching 383 4 speed which will be starting its restoration in the fall. This is as my first car and the operation buildup.
