The car was purchased by my father two years ago from the second owner..  The Super Bee was used as a weekend warrior from day one.  It original owner (now deceased) was best friends with the second owner.  The original engine was pulled early in its life and a race engine was installed.  The original engine was reinstalled by the second owner prior to my father purchasing the Bee.  The car has 24K original miles however it can be assumed that the engine has far less than 24K miles.    The car has not been cut up at all with the exception of a small area in the tunnel where a race shifter was installed. This is a very small area.   We pulled off the deep sump oil pan and replaced it with a stock oil pan.  At that time we looked into the bottom end of the engine and the engine looks like new with original pistons still in place.  The trans has been replaced most likely at the time the race engine was installed.  It now has a manual reverse valve body.  The original Dana is still in place however at some point the gears were changed to a 3.73 ratio which actually makes for very nice highway cruising.  The car still has line loc installed from the early 70’s.  It works perfect and is hidden in the ash tray.    

 

At the time the original engine was installed back in the car the prior owner chose to spray the engine bay again.  This is the only major area of the car that was repainted.  The entire exterior is original paint except minor stone chip touch up.  That being said if you have not seen an original paint car do not expect this car to appear to look like a base coat clear paint job.  The paint is exceptional for 43 year old paint but it is not a glossy show car.  It has factory orange peel and factory flaws.  As you can see in the photos, the only rust issue is a very small hole approximately the size of  an eraser on a pencil right in front of the passenger side tire. The tops of the front fenders have tell tale signs of  weekend wrenching on the race engine that was removed.  Elbow dings run up and down the tops of the fenders.  The dings are noticeable but not obtrusive.  They actually give the car part of its character.  Some of you with a keen eye may have noticed the hood scoop is larger than a factory hood and probaby assumed it was a reproduction hood. It is not.  It is the original hood to this car .    

The original hood was modified by a prior owner in an attempt to accept more air into the scoop.    The original carbs are intact with the exception of the center carb which was replaced with an aftermarket at some point.  The original center carb is in the trunk and is included in the sale.  

 

The car runs exceptionally well.  It could be driven reliably anywhere and starts every time.  It is very unique car being that it is unrestored and still very, very nice. 

The wheels and tires are Correct Reproductions.

The wheels are reproduction H code wheels that have correct dates, stampings and size.

The spare is an original H code wheel. 

The correct dimple lug nuts are also installed.

The tires are reproduction Goodyear G-60-15’s.  These are all new with a total cost of  just over $4,000.

 

I will address every issue that we are aware of with the car. 

 

-Aftermarket radio was removed and a factory 8 track was installed however is not hooked up and or working yet.

 

-Engine bay items have been modified, IE  Factory air cleaner lid has been chromed, power steering box is chromed, wrong valve covers, engine harness has been modified to accept electronic ignition, battery is now mounted in the trunk, headers installed.  A couple weekends could put this engine bay area back to an original appearance.

 

-Trans needs to warm up for a couple minutes and then runs fine.  If you attempt to take off when cold it slips slightly.  Once warmed up it runs like a bear with no slippage. Not sure why but guessing it may have something to do with the race build on the trans?

 

-Traction bars and Hijacker air shocks installed.  I would remove them. Your choice.

 

-Keystone aftermarket rear mud flaps are installed only with wheel opening molding factory screw location. Easily removed if needed.

 

-Side Scoops were added and are not original to this car.  

 

Reason my dad is selling this car is simply because it is way too nice to restore and my father wants a project car.  He has just retired and is looking to start a resto on one of our projects.  The car is priced very fair for a Survivor A12 Bee.  There is nothing hiding on this car.  You can pay $70K and up for a restored one that may have had every panel replaced but you will not get many chances to own an A12 that has never been taken apart.  He is aware he will never replace this car again.  Please let me know what you need to see for pics and I will get you what you need.  I will answer email late each night. 

Thank you and good luck  bidding.     I have many photos especially of the underneath however was unable to add anymore photos.  Let me know if you want more photos and I can send them to you.

2016 Dodge Viper ACR priced from $117,895

Tue, May 12 2015

Fancy getting your hands on the all-new Dodge Viper ACR? Prepare to shell out at least $117,895, not counting destination or gas-guzzler tax. Those two add $1,995 and $2,100, respectively, for an out-the-door price of $121,990. That's $32,900 more than a base 2015 Viper, or the equivalent of a Challenger with a few options. As we explained previously, the ACR model doesn't do much for outright power – the 8.4-liter V10 offers up only five more ponies than before – but it does add suspension and aerodynamic upgrades that make this particular Viper far more potent on the track. The order books are officially open for the ACR, so if you've got the coin, get in touch with your local dealer. Until then, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the ACR's pricing. Would you shell out $118,000 for the ultimate Viper? DODGE OPENS ORDER BANKS FOR NEW 2016 DODGE VIPER ACR The fastest street-legal Viper track car ever offers a tremendous value for performance May 12, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Viper enthusiasts with the need for ultimate handling, performance and road course domination, as well as the ability to drive their Viper home from the track, can now place their orders for the fastest street-legal Viper track car ever. The Dodge brand has announced pricing and opened order banks for the recently introduced 2016 Dodge Viper ACR. Unveiled last week at the revamped Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, the American Club Racer model of the iconic, hand-built American supercar will have a starting U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $117,895 (excluding destination and gas guzzler tax). "Bringing our street-legal Dodge Viper ACR back is going to arm our track enthusiasts with the ultimate weapon to dominate road courses across the country," said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO - Dodge and SRT Brands, FCA - North America. "This is without a doubt the best Viper ACR ever. The latest in aerodynamic, braking and tire technology will ensure its legendary performance reputation around the world." Originally introduced in 1999 and last available for the 2010 model year, the Viper ACR has a long-standing legacy as the ultimate street-legal track car for club racing. The new 2016 model honors that performance legacy with significant aerodynamic and suspension upgrades, new Carbon Ceramic brakes with six-piston calipers and high-performance tires specifically designed for ACR.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

FCA and UAW deal could mean huge production shakeups

Thu, Sep 17 2015

The big labor contract between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the United Auto Workers is likely to lead to some very serious production shakeups across the company's North American manufacturing operations. That's according to a new report from Automotive News, which details the sweeping changes at no fewer than five production facilities in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Mexico, and Poland. So without further ado, here's what's going where, presented in easy to digest bullet form. Ram 1500 production would move from Warren, MI to Sterling Heights, MI Warren, MI would be retooled for unibody production and would handle the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and could potentially build Grand Cherokees to ease the strain on Detroit's Jefferson North factory Chrysler 200 production would move from Sterling Heights, MI to Toluca, Mexico Dodge Dart production would move from Belvidere, IL to Toluca, Mexic Fiat 500 production, which is currently handled by Toluca, would be concentrated in Poland, where the Euro-spec Cinquecento is built Jeep Cherokee production would move from Toledo, OH to Belvidere, IL to make room for Wrangler and Wrangler Pickup production Like we said, those are some big changes. But, as FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne said in an earlier interview with Automotive News, this kind of shakeup would make a lot of sense. In that August interview the exec said that automakers moved truck production to Mexico because they were "threatened" by the UAW. "The only thing [the UAW] want is to move the truck back. Which is right. If you move the truck back here, which is [the UAW's] domain, [and move] all the cars that we get killed on somewhere else, we could actually make sense of this bloody industry and actually increase the number of people employed in this country and really share wealth because we are making money," Marchionne told AN.
