Dodge operated several changes in the Coronet lineup, and the Super Bee was transferred to the Charger lineup.
As a separate Charger model, the Super Bee was somehow similar to the R/T, sporting a blacked-out hood treatment and the easily distinguishable Super Bee decal.
The production numbers for the 1971 model year make the Super Bee all kinds of rare.
The most commonly ordered was the 383 Magnum engine fitted with an automatic transmission.
This was the standard configuration on the Super Bee, and 2,889 customers picked it. 766 buyers ordered a four-speed transmission, while 203 picked the 3-speed unit. This is where things get truly rare.
The Super Bee could also be ordered with a 440 engine, and 26 people ordered this engine. The Six Pack upgrade made the Super Bee a small rocket on wheels, and 69 people picked the automatic transmission. 30 buyers ordered the four-speed unit.
The 426 Hemi was also available on the 1971 Super Bee, but only 22 customers ordered one.
The Super Bee in these photos is a mind-blowing specimen whose rarity is one of the biggest selling points.
I won't detail its condition because I feel this would be a waste of time, but it's worth highlighting what the seller says at the beginning of the listing. This is a "very original and all numbers matching" Super Bee, with all numbers and stamps verified.
The engine under the hood is the 440 Six Pack mated to an automatic transmission. This means it's one of those 69 units produced in 1971, but the car could be even rarer thanks to its paint.
The owner says it could be the only "Gun Metal on Gun Metal Six Pack car produced" in 1971. It's #5014 in the Super Bee registry.
This specimen was ordered by a Chrysler rep, and as you can easily guess from the shared photos, it comes in fabulous shape.
Everything starts, runs, and drives correctly. It's hard to find something to complain about, and the undersides have been factory-undercoated, so there is no rust here.
Sold on eBay by KD's Auto Sales, this Super Bee landed online without a reserve and $0.99 starting bid.
Only one person submitted an offer so far, but a reserve is obviously in place, so the Internet must do significantly better to unlock it. 9 people have also added the Super Bee to their watchlists.
The car is located in Pompano Beach, Florida.
