This poor Super Bee was struck by tragedy, well more accurately, it struck a post while going way too fast. It must have not only hurt physically, but also emotionally, seeing as this is a genuine A12 M code car that had just had some serious money dumped into it. The owner spent $82k to buy the car just six months ago, then dropped another $45k into upgrades. I guess those fancy Baer brakes weren’t as effective at slowing the car down as the owner assumed they would be. It really is too bad, but there might still be hope for it if you have the right equipment and skills to fix it. You can find this rare Mopar here on eBay in Wylie, Texas with a current bid of $25k and no reserve.
I’m not exactly sure why you would need to upgrade a genuine A12 Super Bee so much. The brakes and suspension upgrades sort of make sense, modern technology just works so much better. But I don’t really see any reason why you would need to add even more power to the 440 Six Pack. The A12 M code engine was already cranking out 390 horsepower. I’m going to guess they discovered the difficult way that pumping nitrous into an already powerful engine isn’t the best idea on the street. In my mind, it would have made more sense to install these upgrades on a base model Coronet rather than a genuine A12 Super Bee, but that’s just me.
My dad was the proud owner of a bright orange 1970 Super Bee for a number of years. He still talks about that car! His was just a 383 4-speed car, yet he will tell you that even that engine had more power than you actually needed on the street. With that in mind, it really isn’t a surprise that the previous owner wrecked this one. The seller notes that while the engine has been pushed back, it’s still all there, including the seller’s NOS Fogger system and all the various engine upgrades that had installed. Fixing it will require replacing most of the front end structure and who know what else, but like I already said, someone with the means could fix it. And thankfully, the title is marked as being clean!
Dodge only built 1,907 of these M code Super Bees. They received all kinds of performance bits from the factory, including heavy duty suspension, Dana 60 rear with the 4.10 gear ratio, heavy duty engine internals and a heavy duty transmission. This example had been kept to original specs and was a show winning car prior to being purchased and upgraded by the previous owner. I just hope that the next owner will be able to rebuild it, undo the upgrades and get it back on the road!
