1969 Dodge Super Bee

The Dodge Super Bee is a mid-sized muscle car marketed by Dodge, that was produced for the 1968 through 1971 model years.

The origin of the name, “Super Bee”, has its basis in the “B” Body designation pertinent to Chrysler’s mid-sized cars, including the Road Runner and Charger.

This nut-and-bolt restored 1969 Dodge Super Bee is powered by a professionally built, date-code-correct 383ci Magnum engine with high-performance upgrades, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. It’s equipped with power steering, power front disc brakes and a Sure-Grip rear end. Finished in yellow, it features a Ram Charger hood and side scoops.

The Super Bee’s interior was far from fancy. After all, the Dodge brand was about being affordable in the 1960s. And this was pretty much true for almost all muscle cars, which had to deliver impressive performance at a price that the average Joe could afford. As a result, the Super Bee’s cabin was also far from fancy.

Unlike European sports cars of the era, it came with simple front seats that had no bolstering whatsoever. The dashboard design was also basic, with most dials and controls gathered in the driver’s area. There was no center stack and console, while the door panel design was as simple as they get. Of course, it did have a few extras compared to the standard Super Bee.

The design of the car features every detail gearheads look for in a classic muscle car. The lowered profile of the car and its long hood give it that eternal sporty look. Race-inspired stripes improve performance, or so they say. The aggressive front grille and chrome profile highlight the linear shape of the car. The body’s muscles are clearly visible around the area of the rear wheel and the two wrinkles on the sides of the body seem to highlight them.
