Man buys dream Super Bee aged 11 in 1980, owns it twice, and is now putting it up for sale again

This guy bought a Dodge Coronet Super Bee twice, and now he’s selling it again.

He bought it used in 1980, then sold it, then bought it back again, and now he’s selling it again.

The reason, according to the description in the listing, is that he ‘prefers Camaros anyway’.

We wouldn’t be shocked if he changed his mind again in the future, though.

There’s an interesting catch with this Dodge Super Bee

Steve Pearson, the owner who’s selling his Dodge Super Bee on Facebook Marketplace, said he first bought the car in 1980, used.

The car, a 1969 model, was already 11 years old when he bought it, but it was in great condition.

This particular model is rare.

It’s a 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee A12 hardtop automatic, if we wanted to be specific, and only 661 of these exist.

Interestingly, the listing didn’t specify anything about mileage or price, but the seller did say the car has 390 horsepower.

It’s a neat trick, but makes us think the car is probably a lot more expensive than we expect.

When sellers and buyers get sentimental

People are often sentimental when it comes to cars.

The story of the Super Bee reminded us of a similar story about a dad who received a Chevy he’d sold years prior as a gift from his sons.

It packed 330 horsepower and 380 foot-pound torque – not unlike this burnt model that hid something unexpected under the hood – and it was in great shape.

Another interesting story revolves around a stolen Chevy Bel Air.

A man in California had his Bel Air stolen and filed a report.

Shortly after his police report, Fresno Police’s Career Criminal Auto Theft Team received another call.

Somebody had seen a classic car parked illegally in an alleyway ten blocks away from Adam’s house.

When the Community Service Officer visited Adam, he told him: “Good news and bad news—bad news, your car has been stolen. Good news, it’s been found.”
