Rare Survivor 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee!

[@moparnut6286]

Awesome find!... Makes me want to finish my 71 Charger se 383!!..

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks brother you definitely need to!!

[@pablocortando1]

What a car owner,what a story,a true hero.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Right? Amazing people and his son in law bill is an army veteran too. All great people

[@braddokken9191]

It's good to see a car like that with a story like that go to someone like you. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Appreciate that man, means a lot!

[@drew7767]

great story, that’s a dream come true for a person that is into cars. lucky they were good people and reasonable with the price some people would want unrealistic price for a vehicle like that. they picked a good person to receive it, looking forward to watching you get in running and driving!

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks for that, I am honored to have her and will do her justice! Very fair for all involved and great memories to go along with it. Can’t wait to post more about the car!

[@newedition0456]

i don't remember hearing the price lol

[@chumleye1112]

Sweet score, glad to see the family was happy to pass it along to you and your family to enjoy and carry on the tradition rather than someone who would not appreciate it.

[@FanelliRestorations]

It was certainly a big honor to be the ones to chosen to purchase the car, thank you very much!

[@jennystryker2967]

I too graduated from Westover Senior High School in 1980. Grew up in Fayetteville from 1962. Great Car.

[@FanelliRestorations]

That’s way cool, did you know Kim then? Small world!

[@jennystryker2967]

@@FanelliRestorations Yes I did. Her Father was one of my Fathers best friends. They did two tours in Vietnam together. This car was parked in in our High School parking lot. I drove a 1967 GTO given to me also by my Father.

[@themoparted2416]

It looks like a twin to my "wanna bee"! It started out life as a 383 SE but it was so incomplete. As I got it further along, it ended up getting parts and pieces from just about every trim level of charger haha. They're never really done. But 3 years later, it looks and performs like a true blue 71 Bee. Oh and that color.... B5 has got to be the best color on a 71 charger, by far! Love the car, and can't wait to see more of it!

[@FanelliRestorations]

Hey man that’s all that matters getting your car the way you want it, I’ve got plenty of cars that are never ‘done’ either…that’s just part of the fun always refining and making it a hair better

[@jamesmanning9675]

Great video, hope to see more details. Currently in process of restoring 4 speed 71 Super Bee also built in August 1970 B5 Blue with same blue interior.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Far out man! Not many of them out there nice to hear you’ve got one💪🏼

[@jamesmanning9675]

Looking further at the trim tag, my car went through Gate 5 Sequence 132 Line Sequence 103858 scheduled 08/25 (825) only 2 days prior to your car (827) Order #01104.

[@boostedlife7436]

was wondering when I was gonna see this video dad said you decided to buy it congrats man

[@FanelliRestorations]

Haha yeah man thank you! Your dad was a massive help couldn’t have done it without him

[@johnroof2663]

What a hell of a find!

[@FanelliRestorations]

Really was lucky yes

[@archieguitarz4700]

Big congrats on the Charger, looking forward to your updates!

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks man can’t wait to work on it more and share!

[@DavidKing-planes1567]

That be a great car to restore to original even has original rallye wheels cool

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks man yeah it’s insanely complete! Only thing missing on the whole car is the driver slotted exhaust tip and one beauty ring on driver rear wheel.

[@stevegallego832]

Great work rescuing another one👍👍👍👍

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks brother I love doing this!

[@JohnLittle-ze7sp]

Man what a score

[@FanelliRestorations]

Hell yeah man!!

[@johngardoski5771]

Very cool find !

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks man!

[@MikeJBlues]

Awsome car, my favorite year charger!

[@FanelliRestorations]

I agree it’s a beautiful style for that year and less trendy, nice to have something less people have. 69 chargers for 25k rust buckets are overrated!

[@steveshanabarger4108]

Love it; great find. Please keep it stock. Looks like one that Mopars 5150 would find.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks man! My dudes over at Mopars 5150 definitely run the game on this, hope to be an operation like them someday.

[@FineArtbyAldo]

Congrats, great find!

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thank you very much!

Nice car!

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thank you!

[@WestCoastRoller]

Sweet car! Even sweeter condition. Be grateful dude is all i have to say. Nice 2nd gen too...hang on to that one as well you will thank me later.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Oh yeah we love our Cummins she’s a workhorse, and thank you such an excellent car very grateful indeed

[@GrandPitoVic]

That's cool. I'm in Fayetteville, Nc lol. Awesome!!!

[@FanelliRestorations]

Great memories there for me, where working on cars on my own all started!

[@harryjohnson8605]

I'm sure locals had to have try to buy charger

[@hurtlocker6611]

your 1 lucky guy to get a last super bee made, very nice condition for a survivor, i just wonder what that car cost you.by the way im a huge mopar guy i owned a 1970 Barracuda 340 4 speed original but was replaced with a 727 trans auto. would love to have that car again now.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thank you, I am very fortunate indeed💪🏼I don’t like to share what I paid for vehicles typically, I paid what it was worth! And that’s rad man I bet that was a fun car

[@samuelgoodman2825]

Great score man.Bee's are hard to find

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thank you very much, indeed they are, especially like this

[@samuelgoodman2825]

@FanelliRestorations I'm a Mopar fan.Ive got a rare one,65 Dart GT 273 V8 Hardtop coupe day 2 survivor,904 console.Not as desirable but the price of them have been going up regularly.

[@DanBall-bt9ui]

Very cool .I had the very same car.same color.in highschool.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thank you I bet had a lot of memories with it!

[@DanBall-bt9ui]

@FanelliRestorations Yes it was a blast.very fast top end.we would cruise the Blvd in the Early 80s in New Castle ind..383 magnum hard top same color .Fun times

[@kerrywaldrop4546]

Wow nice ride

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thank you so glad to have it!

[@brettjones5041]

Wow Cannot Wait Mate ,Thanks

[@FanelliRestorations]

Glad you enjoyed it man, more to come!

[@paulthompson8642]

Cool

[@landonsheffield6160]

Man that's a find of a lifetime right there! I can't believe how good of shape that is in for being an NC car. Did the prev owner oil down the inside of all the panels or something? I vote keep the patina! Let us know if you ever get it out to some car shows. I would love to see that car!

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks man, it sure is a stellar car. It doesn’t appear he did, think it was just really loved and covered and under a canopy just kept dry never saw salt in NC winters so just really solid. Will certainly update more on the car here soon 💪🏼

[@robertharding4166]

Good score mate. Be interesting to see if you can find the build sheet under the back seat / glove box top / front seat backing / carpet.🤙

[@FanelliRestorations]

Stay tuned my man…just found it last night! Video in the works, thank you for the support

[@makofett7404]

Nice find! I just got a 1967 Dart one owner in NC! A few things on the Superbee. The window cranks are not original. They should be chrome with round black knobs on end like in my 71 Charger. Those looked like wood? Also, I would really inspect the driver side body and determine why there is overspray on your V.I.N. Decal in door jamb as the factory would not have done that. Check your dash harness where the red wire connectors were used because it means wiring was altered in its lifetime and those can lead to electrical fires. Awesome car though! N96 hood with pins, exhaust tips, looked like dual mirrors? Full rallye dash cluster, and the very cool 71 only style rear spoiler! Lucky you!

[@FanelliRestorations]

Great eyes, yeah they touched up a few spots I noticed in the engine bay by the core support/battery tray area saw overspray on some wires. Looks like nothing minor, but all the VIN stampings match around the car. Good note on those window cranks. I didn’t realize that. That’s awesome about the dart you got, thanks for the great comment man great luck on your dart man!🏁

[@makofett7404]

@@FanelliRestorations welcome. Happy thanksgiving 🦃

[@roycervantes1341]

Yeee Yeee 😊

[@randolphkraut216]

Very cool Dodge Charger Super Bee when you go to the Secretary of State ask if you could have the old title that's cool to have

[@FanelliRestorations]

That would be cool I will have to ask, thank you!

[@ohioken1]

I had a plum crazy purple one back in 1977, wish I still had it! Too bad the seller kept a cover on it, that is what caused to top panels to rust.

[@FanelliRestorations]

That sounds like a rad car, and I’m not sure about that I think many years in the sun did the patina, I think the cover saved it and did way more good. Plus is looks cool as hell.

[@christ510]

Nice classic, see if you can find the build sheet under the back seat.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks man yes that will be in an upcoming episode!

[@dwaynegamble244]

Seems crazy now That these full size muscle cars had little 14 inch wheels on them 63 valiant came with 14s My 73 340 cuda came with 14s I moved up to 15s pretty quick

[@FanelliRestorations]

You’re right it’s amazing how much 1” in diameter can change the look of the car, I usually always upgrade to 15”s but in keeping this car original the dinky 14”s are almost charming

[@dwaynegamble244]

@FanelliRestorations lol Yeah I guess your prob right

[@moparrmama]

WOWWWW!!!! that’s yours?!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@FanelliRestorations]

Haha actually it’s YOURS mama😘

[@JoeFilardi]

hi i hope you get the car running again soon.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks man, that’s the plan will be updating more videos on it here shortly 💪🏼

[@JohnBarr-ys9zl]

Nice find Frank! B5, 340/904 slapstick?Tough to find complete and original

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thank you! B5 383/727 slapstick, hood pins, spoiler, front buckets, 150mph Rallye gauges, Rallye wheels, N96 Ramcharger hood, dual chrome mirror, chrome slotted exhaust tips,…the list goes on

[@toddmesecar9558]

Nope, its a 383 big block

[@paulwortman483]

I'm just curious... I just found out that pre 1970 GM keys, blanks from back in the day will work on any pre 1970 GM. I just wonder if that true for chrysler or Ford keys??? Nice to see you. I often wonder what happened to you. Great to see you on KZbin.Wheel doolies need to be in your future.

[@FanelliRestorations]

If by blanks working you mean a blank going into an ignition that was previously keyed? I am not sure about that, but thank you for wondering where I am just busy with life and my family I am never far from my next video haha! Definitely need some tire dollies yes.

[@stephenschumacher2696]

restore that Dodge🤠my 73 400 4spd pwr window road runner came out of a corn field when I was 19,it's in my garage and I'm 57😮

[@FanelliRestorations]

That’s super cool man so glad you still have it! My father-in-law found his 65 Chrysler in a field and it was a survivor car and it’s still in the family, which is really cool.

[@GrandPitoVic]

Did you inquire about that 5.0 setting there?

[@FanelliRestorations]

I did not, more of a mopar guy these days…plus Bernie still drives his fords!

[@MAGLtd-hh3ct]

lol, the Ebrake!🤦‍♂️f$ck, we have all done that,nice buy, I remember buying my first Charger at 15,$800 400 4 speed rallye, still have it but needs a lot of TLC👍🇨🇦

[@FanelliRestorations]

They never work lol and of course this one still did, such a solid car!! That’s so cool you still have it man, she needs that TLC!🏁💪🏼

[@eddiemathers1721]

Something is wrong with this story, and it has to do with the title---When you buy a vehicle brand new, they don't issue another title the year you pay it off. But I could be wrong every state is different, I guess. I did enjoy the video though good luck with your new project.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks for the feedback that is what we were told and believe it’s how the banks did it in 71 in NC, didn’t look much more into that detail. looking forward to working on it more!

[@DPaint-v5j]

You better get it classic car insured quick. And put a tracker or two in the chassis. And block it in.

[@andrewbrubaker1366]

You should touch base with Dylan M on u tube he is also a Mopar enthusiast!

Dylan does great work!

@ congratulations, let me know when you want to sell me one of those mopars you seem to be hoarding.

[@derkscabinetdoor5370]

What about that 5.0 sitting there looking sexy af?

Was this mans name Pineapple by any chance?

[@lonniebutler2791]

340 four barrel not a 6pak

[@FanelliRestorations]

Correct yes I got excited, also missed 440-4bbl as an option too for the 71 Bee.

[@MervRitter-yc2tj]

Yes. No 340 6pack on anything but a TA Challenger or an AAR Cuda. 😂

[@dogdoc1]

Did you guys finish your wife's Duster? Did I miss the video?

[@FanelliRestorations]

We have not yet! You didn’t miss anything there will be stuff coming up in the future for it. We’ve just had some delays with that car. Thanks for asking tho

[@dogdoc1]

@FanelliRestorations 😎👍

[@Fongolitus]

fyi: it's not a "Charger Super Bee" it's either a Charger OR a Super Bee.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Negative, you need to go do some more research buddy

[@Fongolitus]

@@FanelliRestorations no I don't, show me on the car where it says 'Charger', same deal as people calling pre 71 models 'Coronet Super bee', it's either a Coronet OR a super Bee.

[@toddmesecar9558]

​@@Fongolituswow, arent you being kinda picky? You know what they mean as the cars were trim packages off their base models. The super bees were never their actual seperate individual model

[@toddmesecar9558]

There is a charger emblem right on the trunk

[@Fongolitus]

@@toddmesecar9558 bizarre, 69 - 70 are listed as a separate model, Coronet Deluxe, Super Bee, Coronet 440, etc. must have been a marketing thing, trim package, whatever

[@VyperHellcat]

If you keep it patina, and don't do a repaint, I will not watch your show. I despise seeing rare mopars made to run again but leave that stupid disgusting so called patina shit please do the car right and repait it.

[@FanelliRestorations]

It’s only original once homie! Guess you’ll watch and see 👀

[@JerryM-p2v]

Hope you have $80K to put into that car. what a waste of money.

[@FanelliRestorations]

Thanks for watching!
