Car of the Week: 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee The last of the 'Bees! The 1971 Super Bee was indeed a Charger —  and it was worth remembering! Scott Frye was told so many times that his 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee wasn't legit that he was starting to have some doubts himself. The Sobieski, Wis., resident had bought his cool MoPar as a fixer-upper when he was still in high school. He was pretty happy with his purchase at the time, but then the naysayers — who didn't really know what they were talking about — had him questioning whether he had been duped. "You never heard of the '71 Super Bees. You always heard of the '68 through '70s, but you never heard of the '71," says Frye, who showed off his hot Dodge at last summer's Iola Car Show in Wisconsin. "And I remember the first three years I had it, I can't tell you how many people said, 'They never made a Super Bee in '71! This is a Dodge Charger. They never made a Charger Super Bee!' But they did, one year. "And I was a young kid, and I didn't know. I'd say, 'Well, where did these Super Bee stickers come from, and all the decals? Why would somebody do all that?' It wasn't until I went to the MoPar Nationals and started seeing some other ones that I knew for sure that they made them."
