In a twist of automotive fate, a grandfather-grandson duo embarked on a humorous journey, transforming a 1976 Dodge Aspen R/T into a rare Mexican Super Bee clone. Trading an old Dodge truck for the project, they navigated the quirky world of Mopar enthusiasts, guided by a fellow fan, Matt. With unique parts sourced from Mexico, including a Valiant hood badge from Carlos, they christened their creation “Elvira.” Now, with gratitude and a touch of whimsy, they revel in their one-of-a-kind Super Bee adventure.

In June 1976, cruising Gratiot Avenue, I was sure my beefed-up ’67 Barracuda was unbeatable—until a Pontiac 2+2 convertible rolled up. With a 421 tri-power engine, it left me red-faced and $50 lighter. This rare beast, a big brother to the GTO, packed 376 HP and 461 ft. lbs. of torque. Though never hitting GTO sales, it wowed with dual exhausts and heavy-duty springs. The 2+2 even tried a comeback in ’86, but like my race victory that day, it was short-lived!
