Volume V, Issue 4 April 1, 2010 Another vaguely-described offering from the same consignor as the ’69 Hemi ‘Bee shown above, the vehicle description card for this beautiful 1970 Hemi Super Bee (lot 1327.1) read; “It was far too rare and far too valuable to modify, so it was restored to great condition. We have a copy of certificate of title and copy of restoration receipts from Aloha Automotive. We also have the original build sheet from Chrysler”. The WM23R0 VIN sequence leaves no doubt but the seller’s vague description is a little unnerving. It sold for $90,200. Lot 658, this ’68 WM21H Super Bee sedan rolls on incorrect 1969 wheels (Magnum 500s for ’68 should have chrome plated wheel hoops, not the stainless trim rings adopted in 1969). Besides that, this 383 automatic car was stunning and well restored, selling for $22,550 when the hammer fell. Dodging the Bullet - Page 13 of 20 - MoparMax.com 1968 was the final year for blue engine paint on the base 383 Super Bee mill; the color was changed to orange for ’69. The 727 Torqueflite is about the only convenience item on this manual steering, manual 11-inch drum brake sedan. All 7,844 Super Bees built in 1968 were pillar-coupes. Like the orange engine paint, the pillar-less WM23 hardtop body option didn’t arrive until 1969.
Volume V, Issue 4 April 1, 2010 I’m nuts about this car; it was my favorite of the entire auction. An original BH29M 1969 ‘Cuda 440, lot 941.2 was originally sold by Fenner-Tubbs Chrysler-Plymouth in Lubbock, Texas – a big player in the altered wheelbase match race days. Thoroughly redone in California at Restorations By Julius, this numbers matching RB monster fetched $48,400. Julius’ engine bay restorations are among the best. This red rocket was formerly owned by NHRA legend Joe Amato (a.k.a. Joe Tomato for his penchant for red race cars). Nose heavy like a mofo, we love the manual brakes and manual steering. Too bad Chrysler never offered these 440 A-bodies with 4-speeds. Even with the console shifted 727 Torqueflite, these cars are simply brutal – in the best sense of the word.
