A Forsaken Mopar Collection Holds A 383 4-Speed Super Bee

Last week, we focused on a numbers-matching, ’73 340 ‘Cuda at Knoxville’s East Tennessee Mopar Show that had not only a correct 4-barrel but also featured the Mopar scene’s famed slapstick auto, the pistol grip setup that made it cool to have a muscle car with an automatic.

Just based on that, it’s not too hard to see at which points Chrysler really has pulled ahead of the muscle car “curve,” in the late ’60s, early ’70s and now, with a whole new generation of late-model muscle to look forward to. Given those circumstances, there will always be a place in the heart for slapstick autos and 4-barrel carburetors.

But there were also a lot of fascinating pieces of Mopar trivia that we grabbed from our featured E-body, meanwhile learning that “Barracuda” is clearly not the same thing as ” ‘Cuda” and that the difference between the two can mean that between a straight-6 and a rear axle-busting HEMI.

Today’s featured Mopar then is this super cool but forlorn-looking Super Bee that was found in a field with other Mopars in Michigan, the rare Charger a desirable piece with a 383 and 4-speed. The choice B-body still has its original pistol grip shifter intact, and as is it’s pretty much a rust-free car.

Following the discovery of the 4-speed Bee was the discovery of a few other noteworthy Mopars, namely a V-code Road Runner and a ’70 Charger R/T. This down-to-earth display of Mopar mania also includes a ’67 Coronet.

Our featured Super Bee was found among a potentially hot Mopar collection featuring cars of real value, but as for the Charger R/T and Road Runner, they’ll have to be covered in another episode!
