The latest episode of Road Kill features David Freiburger’s very first car: a 1970 Dodge Super Bee. He paid $1,800 for it when he was fifteen. Thirty years later it’s packing a 600+ HP Hemi. Watch it go head to head against another one of Freiburger’s cars: a ’67 Camaro. Which one will come out on top? Watch the video after the jump!
Yeah, it looks funky. Yeah, it’s based on an Italian FWD platform. But, it sounds like it might be pretty darn good. Motor Trend hated the Viper but they seemed to like the new baby Jeep, saying, “The Cherokee can compete head to head with any of the modern small crossovers on the road. Off-road, it will bury them.” You can read a summary of some of the other reviews over at Allpar
Kind of painful to look at…
I saw this car at SEMA back in 2008. It was built by Year One and Gillette Evernham Motorsports in conjunction with Bill Goldberg and then sold at Barrett-Jackson to benefit the Darrell Gwynn Foundation, which works to help cure spinal cord injuries. The car started life as a 1970 Plymouth Satellite but then it got the full NASCAR Superbird treatment. Power comes from a 800 hp NASCAR-spec 358cid Dodge engine. The price is set at $250,000.

Here’s a fun new page on Facebook–Ratty Muscle Cars. They recently posted this cool green 1969 Dodge Super Bee. There seem to be a lot of Mopars in the mix, so be sure to check it out!
So I guess Motor Trend doesn’t like the Viper. Maybe they were mad that SRT gave them a beat press car with some hard miles and worn out tires. But the only car in their test that actually beat the Viper around Laguna Seca was the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, a car that costs more than twice as much. Hmmm. So which one is the best driver’s car? Oh, a Porsche that was three seconds slower. Video after the jump.
They only built 108 Hemi ‘Cuda hardtops in 1971 and I doubt you’ll find one nicer than this. Wearing its original paint with just 2,010 miles, this ‘Cuda is also claimed to be the most heavily optioned 1971 ‘Cuda in existence. And it looks absolutely stunning in Rallye Red with those big billboards. Yeah, it’s an automatic, but I dig the vinyl split bench seat (a $16 option). Lots more pics plus the extensive auction text from the guys at RK Motors after the jump. Yeah, they want almost $2 million for this bad boy but I’d say it’s worth it…
Here’s one for our growing WTF category. This custom Comanche will either sear your eyeballs or make you laugh. I kind of like it, but wish they’d picked a Ranger or S-10. A lot of work plus a fair amount of misguided creativity went into this thing. To add insult to injury, it now has SBC power. More pics plus Craigslist ad text after the jump! Via Jalopnik
