How to Get Super Bee Parts
Few things are as frustrating as owning a beautiful car that you're unable to fix. To an avid Super Bee enthusiast, the ability to find parts is paramount. It takes a legwork, particularly if you own an original model, but with a little perseverance, you can find the Super Bee parts you need.

1
See any Dodge dealership to buy parts for a late model Super Bee. For original models 1968 to 1971, proceed to Step 2.
-
2
Search for authentic, original Super Bee parts. NOS parts are best, but can be expensive and difficult to find. NOS stands for "New, Old Stock," or original still-in-the-box parts manufactured years ago.

Consider a second Super Bee. For purists, the purchase of a second car in solid part-harvesting condition is a good choice to obtain used, authentic parts. If this is not an affordable option, search junk yards for the original parts you need. Remember, you're not limited to local dealers; junk yard databases can be found online.

4
Consider reproduction parts for your Super Bee. Reproduction parts are brand new, without unnecessary damage or wear. They're also considerably easier to find than original parts. (See the Resources section.)

5
Utilize eBay. The odd selection of original, reproduction and NOS parts available changes daily. Start by using Advanced Search to find a seller named "Dodgeboy." He's been selling quality Mopar parts since 1998.

Ask the experts for help. Find a Super Bee car club online. Email members and ask them to recommend Super Bee parts sources. Be specific; tell them whether you're searching for used, NOS or reproduction parts for your Super Bee. Be brief and polite; the best information often comes from fellow car collectors.
