AJ’s “Badass Friday” Car of the Day: 1971 Dodge Charger Hemi Super Bee Coupe

AJ’s “Badass Friday” Car of the Day: 1971 Dodge Charger Hemi Super Bee Coupe

Car: Dodge Charger Hemi Super Bee Coupe

Year: 1971

What makes it special: The Super Bee was Dodge’s muscle car produced from 1968 through 1971 model years. The Super Bee name got it’s origin due to the “B-Body” designation that was given to mid-sized Chrysler models, including the Road Runner and Charger.

What made it famous: When the Dodge Coronet line moved to 4-door and station wagon body styles, the Super Bee model was moved over to the Dodge Charger platform. Being that there was an “R/T” Charger model already, the “Super Bee” Charger was promoted as the low-priced model at the time. There were distinctive features for the “Super Bee” model of 1971: It was the first and only year that a 275 hp, 4-barrel 340 Small-Block V8 was available in a Super Bee, and only 22 Dodge Charger Super Bee’s were equipped with their famous 425 hp, 426 Hemi V8 engine. The famed “Air-Grabber” hood scoop, body stripes and striped Bee logo wrapped around the rear portion of the Charger were all part of the package.

Why I would want one: The fact that it’s an extremely rare Hemi equipped model with only 22 ever made would make this a “must have” for any Mopar fan or Muscle Car collector.

Fun fact:It was Chrysler senior designer Harvey J. Winn who won an inter-corporation contest with the name “Super Bee” along with the logo design based on Dodge’s “Scat Pack Bee” medallion.

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1962 Pontiac Tempest Lemans Convertible

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1962 Pontiac Tempest Lemans Convertible

Car: Pontiac Tempest Lemans Convertible

Year: 1962

What makes it special: Pontiac’s Tempest was the entry level compact that was introduced in September of 1960 for the 1961 model year. With it’s very innovative design, it also shared its new unibody Y-Platform with Buick’s Special/Skylark and Oldsmobile’s F-85/Cutlass models. These all came standard with a 4 four cylinder engine and a two-speed rear-mounted automatic transmission, a first for General Motors Corporation.

What made it famous: The Tempest line offered the optional LeMans trim upgrade for the 1961 model year, and a performance aspect beginning in 1962. The Trophy 4 four cylinder engine was designed for economy, and was based on the right-hand cylinder bank of Pontiac’s 389 V8 engine. Trophy 4’s came in a low-compression model with a single-barrel carburetor, a hotter version with a higher compression with single-barrel carburetor, and the highest compression version equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, producing 166 hp.

Why I would want one: I love the style and its innovative features. It’s a great looking 60’s economy car.

Fun fact: Another optional engine for the Tempest was the innovative aluminum 215 cu in V8, which first debuted on the Buick LeSabre model.

AJ’s Car of the Day: Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible

AJ’s Car of the Day: Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible

Car: Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible

Year: 1960

What makes it special: The fourth-generation Oldsmobile’s were given a complete restyle by the 1959 model year. They were now longer, lower and even wider on their G-Body chassis. While other GM styles featured bigger and sharper rear fins, Oldsmobile gave the Super 88 horizontally flattened rear fins and less chrome, giving the car a cleaner look.

What made it famous: For the 1960 model year, the Super 88 received a bolder front grille and a restyled rear design with new taillights. A restyled instrument panel and a trimmer transmission tunnel gave the car more interior space. Power for the Super 88 came from it’s larger, 315 hp 394 cu in Rocket V8 with 4-barrel carburetor which was standard for the Super 88 models.

Why I would want one: These are land yachts, with smooth rides. If you want a true 1960’s cruiser, this is the car for you.

Fun fact: With its large, high-performance V8, Oldsmobile’ 88 series are considered by many to be the first muscle car, which many claim to be, and as always disputed.

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1959 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1959 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible

Car: Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible ( ** Car shown at Dragone Classic Motorcars in Orange, CT. )

Year: 1959

What makes it special: Introduced late in the 1958 model year, the 1959 Ford Galaxie 500 was added as the top trim level above the Ford Fairlane 500 and offered with the same sedan and hardtop styles as the Fairlane. The Sunliner and Skyliner models were also moved from the Fairlane. The 1959 Galaxie models wore both the Galaxie and Fairlane 500 badging.

What made it famous: The 1959 Galaxie featured a stronger, wider railed frame giving the car more interior room, a new front stabilizer bar and variable-rate rear springs giving it a softer ride. A lighter 2-speed Ford-O-Matic transmission was mated to a 200 bhp, 292 cu in overhead-valve, a 225 bhp, 332 cu in or a 300 bhp 352 cu in V8. Another styling cue indicative of the era was that the Galaxie was decked with lots of stainless panels and loads of chrome, and a two-toned paint scheme was optional.

Why I would want one: This particular year of Galaxie was known as the “Galaxie with the Thunderbird look.”

Fun fact: The Galaxie name was used for Ford’s top-trimmed models from 1958 to 1961.
