Dodge Charger Super Bee (1971)

Dodge’s 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 that the Coronet Super Bee was now a Charger which caused some confusion with the buyers (via 71 Super Bee).

The Charger Super Bee was a one-year-old model that was an entry-level muscle car. It sold at lower prices but packed good 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 and tire-shredding performance. The base 440 delivered 370 HP, and the Six Pack option was capable of 385 HP. The Hemi was the only engine option but very rare, and just 22 cars had the engine.
