$40,000?? It would cost another $40K to undo what they did to that poor car.

sonny is still sick, after viewing that ABOMINATION........

 

[69 Sleeper Bee]

A Super Bee 318 to boot.
For 40,000 ?

Another thing is I don’t remember The Super Bee having a Coronet 500 - R/T *** end either.

 

[Fran Blacker]

That black engine compartment, they even painted windshield washer bottle. Real craftsmen.

As someone looking for a nice b-body, asking prices like this are nauseating. I hope there isn’t a poor soul out there that would even inquire about it… hideous

 

[F4R/T]

It could have been a nice cruising small block car till some dumb *** thought let’s make it a bee. It can be undone but it will cost! There is nothing wrong leaving it be what it was born as imo!

Looks like something a niggah or white trash punk would drive.

Couple that with the 69 4 door Super Duper Bee and you can have yourself quite a collection.

Red heater hoses and yellow plug wires really do it for me. Actually the reverb unit is the coolest thing on it!

 

[Scott Engelhardt]

I have always loved those tail lights

So someone built what “they” consider a Super Bee with they wrong markings and a 318 and they are asking a ridiculous price….the dealer must be crazy.

 

[f569]

Why stop there? Slacker.

 

[buenavides]

Price is too much, it's a no for me.

How can they ruin these cars which such wheels and tires set up?

 

[Richard Cranium]

So, you throw a Super Bee strip on a regular Coronet & it suddenly becomes a "Super Bee Tribute"?

 

[Rjvb3]

Yea that's a hard pass for me... I generally do not have anything at all against tributes either as long as the build is cohesive and flows, but this is just a mess.

My Coronet pro-touring build will be getting a super bee stripe, even though it was born a 440. It will piss off the purists... but so would chopping up original bee. Always wanted a super bee since I was a kid, there's just something about that graphic. And to me it was not worth all that extra money just to have a different letter in the VIN. I'm working literally every inch of the car and when it goes back together, it is whatever I say it is. Its going to be a driver, not a collectors item.

My 71 Chevelle was not born an SS either but it proudly wears the emblems. I spent my youth and a good 3 years salary putting it together the way I wanted and stuffed a roots blown 489 in there. I think I earned it. If that is not the spirit of Super Sport.. I don't know what is.

In my opinion, If it is a custom build, do your thing, just be honest. But mashing together several different OEM trims is not paying tribute to anything.

The description was obviously written by the secretary, right out of the “classic car dealer” thesaurus.
