OUR BEE!
This is Eddie & Connie Whitehead’s 1970
Dodge Super Bee. We are from Natchez, Mississippi. The reason we got
this Bee is because, in 1970, Connie drove a brand new one to high
school, “%#!@&* HUZZY”, “all the guys were drooling”. We found the
Bee in Nebraska in the year 2002. We have made a few
modifications. |

It has 391 gears, positive traction, and an
8 ¾” dual friction Center Force clutch, “that will not slip”. It has 295
/ 50 / 15 Firestone Indy 500 Firehawks on back with 235 / 50 / 15s on
front. The 383 magnum has a 292 / 510 / 108 cam, hydraulic lifters,
adjustable rockers, Hemi valve springs, Hurst 4-speed, MSD / 6Al box,
800 deg. MSD plug wires, MSD distributor & an MSD high performance coil. |

We added a Holley 750 double pumper,
aluminum intake and a K & N air filter. The Bee has Hooker Super
Competition headers with 2 ½” duals & 2 stage Flow
Masters. It also has 3” echo chambers. (Gas mileage, what is that)? It
has factory air and the original AM radio! In the glove, box we added a
CD player; we did this to keep the original interior. Attached to it we
have, two Jensen 6 x 9’ 4-way’s, two Jensen 4 x 6”, 4-way speakers with
2 tweeters. Under the dash we have an “eight track tape deck”. Under my
seat we have a
150 watt amplifier. Yea, it plays CCR, as did Connie’s original Bee in
1970, “%#!@&* HUZZY”. |

The Go-Wing was an option for the 1970 &
1971 Super Bee’s. We added ours about two years ago. This past winter, I
totally rewired the Bee with a Painless wiring harness. I did this
because; through the years the wiring harness had been butchered. It was
losing fire in the old bulkhead connectors and all the connections. It’
s solid state now! |
