Been a real while since I posted some work, but I have been way busy. Alas, I've managed to get this small photoshoot together, it's a friend's 1973 Mexico-Only Super Bee, basically a Duster with a V8-4speed combo. These were the fastest things in Mexico streets in the early 70s.
This very car is absolutely original. Paint, upholstery, engine, EVEYRTHING you see here is original and never restored. Odometer reads 19,xxx kilometers. ¡19k! Yeah, almost new.
Mexican Super Bee was, as was in the US with the Coronet and later the Charger, an option aplicable to Dusters, it gave you a 318 ci V8 with an A833 4-speed trans with a Hurst shifter.
You also received a Dana 44 rear end with 3:54 gears and posi.
Also, the special appearance package with simulated hoodscoops, hood tachometer, contrasting stripes and other stuff, depending on the year.
The interior had buckets, console, Rally wheel, special instruments and logos:
The engine has a diferent cam profile and all fo the bolt-ons of a US 340, so it put down 270-280 hp, which was absolutely supersonic for Mexico in 1973.
Note how original the engine is, all of the patina is original, it has never been apart, and it still boils both tires, I've been in several burnouts in this car.
This tag is the original plaque put there by the Chrysler factory in Mexico in 1973, absolutely immaculate.
So here it goes. No moving pictures because this was going to appear in a small magazine and was going to be a two page featurette, but the mag went down with the crisis and the shoot has been stalled since. It may still appear in another mag next month, but for now, here it goes.
