Chrysler S-III Super Bee

Several years back I answered an ad for a guy selling a 340 engine and was told I had to take it out of a boat. He tells me Chrysler made 340 powered speedboats... I never knew it. Anyway, I never owned a boat and this was too nice to pass on and I thought it would look cool restored and towed behind one of my vintage MoPars.Well, we got it done and got it in the water and came to realize that while I'm a MoPar guy, I'm not a boat guy. The engine has been rebuilt was punched .030 over with forged pistons, rods redone, crank polished, assembly balanced. Double roller timing set, oil pump, water pump fuel pump and more. Also includes all new manifolds and risers, You can see the correct marine items as well as brass freeze plugs. I have the original 340 heads to go with it but since the marine 340 heads aren't the same as the high-flow car heads we instead used heads from Indy Cylinder Head's Arrohead Racing division for a pair of their cast iron heads with hardened valve seats and stainless steel valves. the Volvo 270T was gone thru by a boat mechanic because I'd never been inside an outdrive. The fuel tank was removed and flushed and the sending unit rebuilt. The carb was gone thru and looks and runs as nice as NOS. The freshwater pump was also rebuilt, there's a new bilge pump installed.The interior was redone with new upholstery and included the foam and wooden support framing on the floor. New carpeting. We had new, original style blue windows made to replace the sun crazed originals. With the exception of the custom Chrysler Conqueror S-III graphics and the 340 callout decals on the hood, everything is painted striping. Beautiful 1970's style heavy metallic blue highlights really pop in the sunshine. The original trailer was powder coated. All brakes, lamps and wiring replaced, new trailer tires on 15 inch Chrysler road wheels. New hubs, brakes, lamps, wiring and more.If the speedometer is accurate the boat runs 50mph with the currently installed propeller. I have another propeller of a different size that came with the boat.Search it for online video of it running, you can't miss itAlso have more pics to send and a pile of invoices.The bottom of the boat was not detailed and refinished like the top. I was told that, at least here in Arizona by the lakes, you regularly find a place to beach your boat to get out and Bar-b-que and party on the shore so the undersides get scratched up anyway and not to waste time down there. We did blow some fresh paint were we could.I might consider an interesting MoPar trade. Serious inquiries please PM so we can connect and I can answer any questions. I recommend inspecting it in person at Michael's Collision here in Phoenix. I hate to be rude but it's got to be said; No tire kickers, low-ballers or dreamers. Of course you can get on the lake with a much less expensive boat, but that's not the point is it?Keywords : This would look great towed behind a 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 Chrysler Town & Country 300 Newport New Yorker Dodge Charger Challenger Coronet R/T Monaco Polara Dart Demon Plymouth Road Runner GTX Satellite Fury Barracuda 'Cuda powered by Small or Big Block 318 340 360 383 400 413 426 or 440
