1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee
Dodge management decided to merge the Coronet and Charger lineups for 1971 to offer their B-Body models in two distinctive flavors. From 1971, all four door models were Coronets and all two-door models were Chargers. This meant that the Coronet Super Bee was now a Charger, which caused some confusion with car buyers.
The Charger Super Bee was one year only model that was kind of an entry-level muscle car. It sold at lower prices, yet had updated equipment, wild graphics and a 440 engine as standard. The Super Bee was a relatively popular proposition for people looking for a classic performance machine in vivid colors with a tire-shredding performance.
The base 440 delivered 370 HP, but the Six Pack option was capable of 385 HP. The Hemi was the only engine option, but rare because only 22 cars receiving that engine.
