The name Pro Street is not new to us car guy’s and it is one in the MOPAR world that sends fear into the hearts and minds of every brand X guys and all the rice burner guys as well.
The sound of the big block rumbling to life a block or two away with the ground shaking under their car as the mighty MOPAR pulls up to the red light.
The brand X guy in the next lane is starting to wet his pants a bit with fear as the engine is revved up hitting higher RPM’s. The FURD or CHEBY guys can only dream about doing this and having a car to back up the sound that this mighty MOPAR is making.
The first car in history that we can go back to of being the first Pro Street car is Jimmy Addison’s 1967 GTX. The cars body was painted in silver and modified by Jimmy while he worked in a service bay at a Sunoo.
Jimmy’s Silver bullet, nick named by Terry Cook is one of the best known car’s past or present, until today that is. Jimmy and the Silver Bullet where a nightmare for the other guys on Woodward Avenue.
Martin Woods 1969 Coronet started out in life being a Coronet 500 waiting to break out into the Super Bee it was always meant to be.
Take a look at the body and the paint of this one bad Bee. I’m just plum crazy about this 1969 Coronet. The cars original 318 has been replaced with a 440 big block that will scare anyone no matter what brand of car you drive.
The 440 has been worked over a bit with a 0.30 over bore, forged piston, solid lift Crane cam, Comp cam springs and a Milidon Deep Sump oil pan.
The Victor intake on top of the big block 440 sports an 870 Street Avenger carburetor. To help handle the shifting choirs the 727 auto transmission has been worked over a bit as well.
The 727 now sports a stage three shift kit with a 3500 stall TCS convertor and a B&M MEGA shifter but the fun doesn’t stops there not just yet.
The rear of the car has a narrowed Ford 9” differential setting outback with a set of 4.56 Richmond gears and a Strange Minispool 31 spline axles from Baer.
The Pro Street Bee is turning out some serious horse power and to help keep that power to the pavement in the rear is a set of Mickey Thompson tires 29x15.5 sportsmen radials on 15x12 Centerline auto drags with a set of skinnies up front.
To help keep a watch on the motor of the Bee, Martin has added a set of Autometer gauges with a Monster Tach.
Martin tells me that when he gets together with his friends and their Classic Muscle cars it’s like a rolling car show. I can see it now the Plum Crazy Pro Street Bee out front leading the pack.
I bet Martin has to keep the speed down so as not to lose anyone from the pack, but hey that’s just me saying that I am partial to one brand of car’s.
I can almost feel the power of the motor revving up and the ground shaking under my feet or wait is that an earthquake. NO that’s just one bad 1969 Pro Street Super Bee.
If you see a blur of purple go by don’t be alarmed it’s just Martin out for a cruise in his Pro Street Bee. Hey Martin how about letting me borrow the Bee for the weekend, now where did he put the key’s.
