Dodge Charger Super Bee (1971)
Dodge managers decided to merge the Coronet and Charger lineups for 1971 and offer B-Body models in two distinctive flavors. From 1971, all four-door models were Coronets and all two-door models were Chargers. This meant the Coronet Super Bee was now a Charger, which caused some confusion with buyers (via Hemmings).
The Charger Super Bee was a one-year-only model, which was kind of an entry-level muscle car. Selling at lower prices but packing good equipment, wild graphics, and a 440 engine as standard, the Super Bee was relatively popular. It appealed to drivers looking for a classic performance machine in vivid colors and tire-shredding performance. The base 440 delivered 370 hp and the Six Pack option featured 385 hp. The Hemi was the only engine option but it was scarce. Only 22 cars received that top-of-the-line engine.
