cool Mopars under the covered feature area at the Mopars at the Strip 2012 event

I think this is a 64 Plymouth Super Stock Fury

incredibly clean, and soon will be featured ion Mopar Action Magazine

coolest seat covers I've seen in a while

looking factory fresh. I wondered how the jack was supposed to be stored, and now I have this to refer to. They don't have the lug nut wrench though.

Just cool colors on the chrome

Super Bees at the Mopars at the Strip 2012

Super Bees, the 1969 model, was another Mopar with 4 or 5 factory options for the hood. This is the "Power bulge" and of course a flat hood was a choice, so was the dual scoops, and the lift off flat balck fiber glass hood for the 440 six pack Bee

This has the rare side scoops, which are something to consider, for when ordering, the buyer chose the side scoops at cost, but not the hood scoops. Odd.

I think they may have removed the vinyl top and painted it white... I may be wrong, but Painted tops of different colors were infinitely rare, though I've seen one documented case of a car with a black roof... and the trim at the split from roof to quarter panel makes me think it had vinyl once.

Damn good looking in yellow and black. Good choice of rims too

Way over kill on the hood pins there sparky. Why two extra in front of the scoop? And horrible choice in painting the front bumper body color... yuck

see how good the rear bumper looks? Chrome or black are fine, but that yellow front bumper is atrocious

3 beautiful Mopars from the Mopar Alley at SEMA this year, a 1969 Coronet, a 1970 Challenger convertible, and a 1971 Barracuda Convertible, and all have a hemi

The 71 Barracuda, possibly the finest choices of options available on a Mopar are on this "Make what you really want" example... the wing, the billboard engine callout, the gills, and the shaker hood scoop.

awesome

when building the car they wanted, they chose air conditioning (which I thin was never offered with a Hemi with the huge air filter housing, and the 1970 shifter...

I guess they didn't want to call their Coronet a Super Bee, or preferred the new truck Rumble Bee stripe instead. Possible more the first idea, because they didn't add a Super Bee to the trunk lid, or the grill

I was just talking to Darrel and he told me a true story that is shocking.

When he was 15 his dad took him down to a used car lot and told him to pick out a car. Not knowing cars very well at the time, he looked around and was quickly impressed by the fastback Mustang, running pony interior. He looked around after the Mustang, and spotted the tail stripe of a Super Bee. He asked what it was (we all did once) and then looked toward the front of the car, a long way from the back compared to the stang. He told me he noticed the flat black hood with the huge scoop.

Yeah. An A12 1969 1/2 440 six pack Super Bee.

He chose the Mustang, because to a 15 yr old kid who doesn't know cars and the rarity, value, and investment potential... the Mustang was easier to drive and park.

True story, and yes, he's really kicking himself now that he knows what he passed up on as a kid.

Both cars were only $850.00
