Chassis no. WM23H9E133154. Hemi Orange with black vinyl roof and tail band over black vinyl. 383/335hp, 4-speed, Hurst shifter, power steering, aftermarket air conditioning, black steel wheels, hubcaps, Hankook tires, bench seat, no radio.

Evaluation: Represented as the matching-numbers engine with a date code correct transmission. Decent older paint. Sound upholstery in a non-standard pattern. No crankcase ventilation tube. Engine painted in place, chassis not given much attention. Superficial and scary.

Bottom Line: It is difficult to find much good to say about this Super Bee. It claims to have a “recent rotisserie restoration” but that rotisserie must have turned very rapidly considering the result. Rotisserie restorations have come to have a positive connotation in recent years. This one, however, harkens back to the bad old days when “rotisserie restoration” meant “quick and dirty”. The result it brought here is wholly inappropriate for its presentation, a 2+ price for a 3- car and a home run for the seller.
