To start with, let me first say that I am listing this ’73 Challenger 340 for a well-known classic and muscle car dealership and in doing so, I will be acting as an agent for this dealership. The owner, who is a friend and someone that I have known for over 20 years, founded his dealership in 1996 and has been a veteran of the car business for over 30 years. All of his vehicles are chosen for the highest standards and quality. A careful and complete analysis is done on every one before they offered for sale. Let me also say that I understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not buying. However, for the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned money, I feel that there is never too much information.As to myself, I am not a dealer, just a (66) year old kid that loves muscle cars. For my work, I am retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and had worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also, please check out my eBay feedback as I have only one negative feedback which I believe I should not have received but you be the judge. Many of those transactions have been muscle cars which I have sold to individuals all over the country as well as Canada, England, France, Switzerland and Australia. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE WELCOME WITH A DOWN PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL AND THE BALANCE VIA WIRE TRANSFER ONLY. Just a little history on the Dodge Challenger: The Challenger project was first started in about 1965 as Dodge's answer to the pony car. Stylist Carl Cameron refined the car for some time, and, by 1968, they were building 1970 Challenger prototypes. Dodge was the last one to the pony car party, but it spent its time wisely, perfecting its entry, the Challenger. The Challenger debuted with an engine lineup that ranged from a docile slant six to the powerful 440 Six Barrel and the awesome 426 Hemi. Other pony cars could only dream of a line up like that.The Dodge Challenger was based on the Plymouth Barracuda platform, but its wheelbase was stretched by two inches to provide more interior room. The Challenger was offered in both hardtop and convertible versions. Performance versions wore the R/T (Road/Track) badge and either the base or R/T model could be ordered with the SE luxury package.But Dodge had one more trick up its sleeve. In order to race in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans American Sedan Championship, it built a street version of its race car which it called the Dodge Challenger T/A (Trans Am). By 1972, the convertible version and all the big-block engine options were gone. Maximum power was also downgraded to 240 horsepower to reflect the more accurate Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) net hp calculations. The 1972 models also received a new grille that extended beneath the front bumper. The 1973 models were no longer available with a six-cylinder engine. For 1974, the 340 cu in engine was replaced by a 360 cu in version, but the pony car market had deteriorated and production of Challengers ceased in mid 1974. Enough for the history lesson. Now on to this rare and beautiful 1973 (TX9) black Challenger 340ci 4-speed. Picture yourself behind the wheel of this 1973 Dodge Challenger Rally, restored from the ground up. This Mopar E-body has been with the same owner for the past 26 years. Factory color scheme TX-9 black with white strobe stripe and brilliant bright white interior.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE WELCOME WITH A DOWN PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL AND THE BALANCE VIA WIRE TRANSFER ONLY. Some History: Just some quick history on the Super Bee. GM divisions had been doing it for years, but it wasn't until 1968 that the two MOPAR divisions, Dodge and Plymouth, began to engage in a bit of sibling rivalry. The result was the Dodge Super Bee, a direct competitor to Plymouth's Road Runner. Although a capable budget muscle car, it never was as successful as the Road Runner, which truly must have hurt. Dodge watched as Plymouth launched their budget muscle car, the Road Runner, in the fall of 1967 as a 1968 model. Already upset that Dodge had coined the "road runner" name in a 1967 Coronet ad, Dodge responded by launching its own budget muscle car. Based on the redesigned Dodge Coronet pillared coupe, Dodge looked to its Scat Pack symbol and released its new model in the spring of 1968 as the Super Bee. The $3,027 base price was $131 more than the Road Runner, which used the same basic chassis. Curb weight was nearly identical, and both used the same engines, so performance was almost identical. The standard engine was the 335hp four barrel 383 cid V8 that borrowed cylinder heads, camshaft and induction system from the Magnum 440. The 426 Hemi was the only engine option, but at nearly $1,000 more, it clashed with the budget nature of the Super Bee and only 125 were ordered. The low price meant minimizing amenities, and although the Super Bee borrowed the Rallye gauge package from the Charger to edge out the Road Runner, a tachometer was still a $38 extra. A heavy duty suspension, brakes, four-speed manual transmission with Hurst Competition Plus shifter, and red-line wide oval tires were standard. The low price didn't mean low profile, and the Super Bee had bumble bee racing stripes circling the tail, and a big Super Bee emblem hovering on the rear fenders. The grille was finished in black matte and the hood had a decorative power bulge. The wheel lips and the rear body panel were accented with thin bright moldings. Inside, the Super Bee had door-to-door carpeting, pleated vinyl seats and door panels, and a standard bench seat. The big news for MOPAR muscle car fans in 1969 was a new optional engine in several cars, including the Super Bee. MOPAR engineers took the existing 440 cid V8 and replaced the single Carter four barrel carb with three Holley two-barrel carbs on an Edelbrock Hi-Riser manifold, creating the Dodge 440 Six Pack (Plymouth called it the 440+6). Only the center carb was used for normal driving, but slamming on the fun pedal opened all six carbs for a combined 1,375 cfm rush. Hemi valve springs, a hotter cam, magnafluxed connecting rods, and other improvements helped boost output to 390 bhp. A Hurst four speed manual transmission was standard. Torqueflite automatic was optional, but disc brakes, air conditioning, and cruise control were not allowed. The Super Bee Six Pack came with one of the wilder hoods in muscledoom. The lift off hood was made of fiberglass, had a matte black finish, four NASCAR tie down pins, and a large air scoop molded right in with Six Pack written on the sides. The all business look was completed with standard black steel wheels, unadorned except for chrome lug nuts. The 440 Six Pack was a $463 option in 1969, and 1,907 were produced. The Six Pack could keep up with a Hemi up to 70 mph and came with a Hemi grade suspension that turned the Super Bee into a decent handler. So let’s get right to this rare Six-Pack Super Bee that I am auctioning here today on eBay Motors.

Restored in 2000 from the ground up, by a retired teacher from northern Maine who has a passion for Mopars. He meticulously restored this rare Dodge while maintaining its factory appearance with no modifications. It has only been driven approximately 800 miles since the restoration. Driven to local car shows, this Super Bee has won 1st place trophies everywhere it went. The only word that sufficiently describes this A-12 Six Pack is: “AWESOME” She comes with an original Broadcast sheet and the original fender tag (Included is a new reproduction fender tag). Exterior: She is wearing a wicked nice reproduction Six Pack hood that fits great. Comes with metal hood props and riveted hood pin tie downs that are not scratched or worn. The exterior body and paint has countless hours of labor comprised to achieve the straight body and exceptionally nice paint with no flaws noticed. Restored bright work and polished stainless that looks fantastic. Notice the beautiful white vinyl Bumble Bee tail stripe letting others know who is on the road. She has doors that open and close with ease and high attention to detail in the door jambs, fender jamb area and trunk. Equipped with a complete new weather strip kit, window felts and quarter vent rubbers. Excellent chrome on the vent windows, stainless roof drip rail moldings, driver's side remote mirror and new wheel opening moldings. The Bee still wears the original 15" H-style steel wheels mounted with Coker Classic redline P225/75 R15" radial tires. Has all original glass with the exception of a replacement windshield. The front and rear bumpers are re-chromed to show quality. There is a restored original front grille, refinished turn signal lenses and original side marker lenses that are in fantastic shape. Also, there is GE head lamp bulbs, new door handles, door locks with new gaskets, working keys that lock both doors. The car has the correct style radio antenna, rear bumper guards, original tail light bezels and the chrome trim is in excellent shape. Interior: Looking at the interior of this A-12 Six pack car, you will notice the car shows like a freshly restored car. New seat covers, door panels, carpet, headliner, dash pad, factory seat belts, arm rest pads and bases. New chrome, plastic chrome on the switches, restored quartz clock, am radio, factory tach and all the gauges work. There is an aftermarket single oil pressure gauge neatly installed under the dash. Included is a set of custom embroidered Super Bee floor mats. The shoulder belts have been restored along with the ash tray. There are new sill plates, package tray and glove box liner. Even the cigarette lighter works. New brake and emergency brake pedals. The steering wheel is an original 3-spoke sport, imitation wood steering wheel that has two small cracks in it. The interior is very comfortable and is in A-1 condition. Column shift automatic with 6-passenger seating for the entire family. Engine: Setting in the engine bay is a rebuilt, correct date coded, 440ci engine. It is not the original engine. However, it is a cast 2536430-8 dated November 3, 1968. 906 high compression cast iron cylinder heads. Correct Edelbrock aluminum intake with three two barrel Holley carburetors. Factory style exhaust manifolds with OEM style dual mufflers with the correct chrome tip extension. Dual point distributor. Date coded spark plug wires. Correct Mopar belts and hoses with original style clamps. Restored original radiator with a casting number of 2949054. Correct 6-pack radiator shroud, fan and clutch. The car is equipped with power steering, manual drum brakes and a restored 3-speed wiper. Other original items are: · Very expensive original metal 6-pack air cleaner element; · Correct idle solenoid; · Mopar coil; · Washer bottle with washer pump and squitter. The engine bay is nicely detailed with a new engine bay wiring harness. The firewall has been refinished in vibrant Red finish and is just as nice as the exterior finish. The front radiator support has the correct black over spray and the VIN appears stamped on the section between the radiator. The original fender tag has some slight rust, but is still legible. A new reproduction fender tag is also included with the car. The overall appearance of the engine compartment is very good and only needs minor detailing to bring it to show quality. As an FYI, the engine was treated to a complete overhaul while the car was being restored. Trunk: Looking in the trunk, the car has its original trunk pan with factory spot welds. A full size H-wheel spare tire, original jack and new reproduction trunk mat. The underside of the trunk has a beautifully restored appearance with new jacking instructions and crayon marking, G70x15 as the factory would have done. Also noticed is a restored striker with the correct finish. Mechanical: Mechanically very sound with no notable issues. Undercarriage: Looking on the underside of this Mopar, you will notice that it has a factory or dealer installed undercoating that is hard as a rock.

The Six Pack could keep up with a Hemi up to 70 mph and came with a Hemi grade suspension that turned the Super Bee into a decent handler. The aging Coronet's body style was given a face lift for 1970. The front fenders were sloped down more at the ends, and the hood featured a NASA inspired integrated hood scoop on the standard set up that flowed down into a center peak separating a twin front bumper arrangement. A Super Bee medallion was used between the grilles on the hood. The Ram-Charger hood with its twin hood scoops were carried over to the new hood as an option. The cards of marketing were reshuffled for 1971. The Coronet name it felt was too closely tied with the image of grocery getters and mom and dad. Thus all four-door mid-sized Dodges would be known as Coronets, while all two-door intermediate Dodge models would be known as Chargers. The Charger would be restyle to meet these demands with long flowing lines that took some of the race car look away from it. The reshuffle of nameplates also brought the seeming death to the Coronet R/T and the Super Bee. However, it was only half right. The R/T was never a true contender on the marketing field, so it was killed while the Super Bee was given one more year to prove itself. Be the fates of soaring insurance rates and government regulations only place the Super Bee on life support, as this would be its last year of production.

To start with, let me first say that I am listing this ’71 Challenger Convertible for a well-known classic and muscle car dealership and in doing so, I will be acting as an agent for this dealership. The owner, who is a friend and someone that I have known for over 20 years, founded his dealership in 1996 and has been a veteran of the car business for over 30 years. All of his vehicles are chosen for the highest standards and quality. A careful and complete analysis is done on every one before they offered for sale. As to myself, I am just a (65) year old kid that loves muscle cars. For my work, I recently retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and had worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Even though this is not my own personal car, I will always strive to maintain my reputation as an honest and reputable seller. Also, please check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1,134) transactions. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE WELCOME WITH A DOWN PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL AND THE BALANCE VIA WIRE TRANSFER ONLY. I ALSO HAVE INTERNATIONAL BUYER REFERENCES FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CHECK. Just a little history on the Dodge Challenger: The Challenger project was first started in about 1965 as Dodge's answer to the pony car. Stylist Carl Cameron refined the car for some time, and, by 1968, they were building 1970 Challenger prototypes. Dodge was the last one to the pony car party, but it spent its time wisely, perfecting its entry, the Challenger. The Challenger debuted with an engine lineup that ranged from a docile slant six to the powerful 440 Six Barrel and the awesome 426 Hemi. Other pony cars could only dream of a line up like that.The Dodge Challenger was based on the Plymouth Barracuda platform, but its wheelbase was stretched by two inches to provide more interior room. The Challenger was offered in both hardtop and convertible versions. Performance versions wore the R/T (Road/Track) badge and either the base or R/T model could be ordered with the SE luxury package.But Dodge had one more trick up its sleeve. In order to race in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans American Sedan Championship, it built a street version of its race car which it called the Dodge Challenger T/A (Trans Am). By 1972, the convertible version and all the big-block engine options were gone. Maximum power was also downgraded to 240 horsepower to reflect the more accurate Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) net hp calculations. The 1972 models also received a new grille that extended beneath the front bumper. The 1973 models were no longer available with a six-cylinder engine. For 1974, the 340 cu in engine was replaced by a 360 cu in version, but the pony car market had deteriorated and production of Challengers ceased in mid 1974. Enough for the history lesson. Now on to this rare and beautiful 1971 Triple Black Challenger Convertible. The 340-4BBL engine option was considered the small block high performance version in the Mopar line up in the early 70s. The car had plenty of performance and good fuel economy. This particular Challenger’s chrome bumpers, trim, bright work and stainless are considered extremely nice. The black convertible top still shows excellent. The front grille, rear tail light panel and bezels are super nice and still retain their factory original argent silver finish. The lower stone shield is also finished in argent silver. The Challenger’s interior is excellent with new seat covers, restored dash pad (from Just Dashes) and new carpet. She still retains the original door panels and factory am radio. It does come with custom embroidered Challenger floor mats. It has a very nice and clean walnut wood wheel with no cracks. The power top works fine and the Challenger does come with the original black convertible top boot. The underside of the Challenger has a light factory under coating with original floor pans, torque boxes and trunk pan showing no signs of any rust or repair. Playing the muscle car sound is an OEM exhaust system with dual mufflers and dual resonators. Mechanically, the shocks, suspension and front end components are all in excellent condition. The only sheet metal that's been replaced, is on the passenger’s side where a full NOS quarter panel was professionally installed prior to the restoration. The car is in fantastic condition and the motor runs excellent with no smoke or issues. This particular Challenger is simply stunning and starts, runs and drives beautifully. The car is overall considered to be an excellent daily driver only needing minor detailing and clean up under the hood. Truly, a great investment and sure to increase in value over the next several years. I have no complaints about clones and reproductions as I have owned some nice ones myself. However, the wise buyer will always look to those rare muscle cars that have the right factory options and color scheme. What does all of this all add up to? I say Mopar Heaven for the new owner. Rarity: According to Galen Govier’s “Chrysler Corporation Production Option Code Book”, there were only: 41 ‘71 Dodge Challenger hardtops and convertibles produced with the 3-speed manual transmission. I have also read that there were: 1,857 Dodge Challenger convertibles produced in 1971. 29,883 Dodge Challenger total production in 1971. If you extrapolate those production figures you come up with; 6.2% of all 1971 Dodge Challengers were convertibles. 6.2% of 41 ‘71 Challenger hardtops and convertibles with the 3-speed manual transmission would be: 2.54 vehicles. Add in the fact that this is a real TX9 Challenger convertible and I think it is quite safe to say that: This particular 1971 triple black Dodge Challenger 3-speed convertible is a true: “one of one” collector car. Please remember, this is based on my extrapolation only and shoud not be considered as gospel.
