Love the Super Bee....

My friends old Bee, unrestored too....he slapped some chrome magnum rims on it since the pics and has sold it.....:banghead:

My friend knows the guy who bought it, he was gonna paint it,,,,my friend talked him outta it and he will leave the 50K mile paint remain...only taking out a few minor dents and touch up.....survivors are the best Mopar and once painted, that factory correctness is gone...BTW, the traction bars on this car were blue.......I crawled under the car and spray bombed them black to hide them....the car also had a blue pinion snubber on it...further inspection revealed that those parts had "S&M" stamped in them...Sox and Martin :glasses7:

This car also had almost every Cal Custom part on it....window cranks, valve covers, knife handle dipstick, Holly carb, Torker intake, Cragars, Sun tach....I got the fuel "Cool" can from him for free and installed it my Valiant just to be "Kewl" :glasses7:

It’s hard to know exactly what to make of the XR6 today. Built in 1962-63 by LeRoi Tex Smith, then an associate editor at Hot Rod Magazine, the car is clearly a product of its time—as exemplified by the asymmetric styling theme, Jetson's fenders, and hideaway headlamps. The XR6 made a big splash when it was new, winning the AMBR award in 1963 and generating an AMT model kit. But the car’s cutting-edge early ’60s look also dated it, and the XR6 quickly sank from view as street rodding headed off in another direction.

Here's one (of 133) customized by the State of Alabama. The first pony car used in regular law enforcement work. They accelerated hard and were good for about 135 for short runs. Engine had a tendency to pump all the oil to the top end, starving the bottom. Penske had a similar problem with the AMC TransAm motors. They solved it by installing a dry sump scavenge system in addition to the wet sump to maintain compliance with rules.

You gotta love the inconspicuous "401" emblem on the fender.
 
May not be much to look at, but it is historically significant. More people (m/f) got de-flowered in these things than any other single make and model. :wink:
