‘Upgraded’ Super Bee mild tribute but with a solid 540hp!

I don’t really want to sell this beauty but other commitments this year mean it isn’t getting used much which is a shame. We have had it nearly four years and been all over in it, including Oulton Park every year which is a good run for it. Starts, runs and handles superbly as everything has been upgraded by the two previous owners.

It started out as a solid, rust free 1969 440 spec car with a 318. This was removed, the chassis was strengthened and had a full bare metal respray in B3 blue to show standard. Everything else was upgraded including engine, torque Convertor, gearbox, propshaft, diff, fuel system, MSD ignition, cooling system, instruments. The engine was built by Dave Billadeau the Mopar guru and set up on a rolling road dyno by John Sleath Racing Cars. Dyno sheet and video available. The car is immaculate inside and out (see pics). There is a scratch on the fibreglass bonnet where we took it off and put it under the car where the diff caught it?. We now have a pole system which lifts it up two foot to show off the engine bay. I couldn’t decide if I should have it resprayed black or carbon fibre wrapped, so I left it!

There are extra autogage instruments for tacho, oil pressure, water temp and volts. All original gauges work. Original Chrysler radio does not work so I was going to get it converted to blue tooth but that was nearly four years ago and I haven’t got bored of the engine noise yet?.

There is a pile of receipts, invoices etc including original build sheet found under back seat. Also a SD card thing with pics of the full rebuild. Previous owner said they totalled £65k!
