Vehicle Description
- With so many muscle cars being changed to a bright red exterior
color from other more muted assembly-line-applied hues, it's
refreshing to see one that was originally red, like this 1969 Dodge
Coronet Super Bee. It was also factory equipped w/ the code A39
Scat Pak Special Package, which included an air scoop Ramcharger
hood, special hood paint treatment, three-speed windshield wipers,
& F70x14 raised-white-letter tires or F70x14 red streak tires.
- The seller found this Charger Red B-body online at a car dealer
in Houston, Texas, in 2018, & purchased it. The Mopar then received
a K-frame-off restoration two years ago, & its 383-cu.in. engine &
column-shifted automatic transmission are said by the seller to
have "matching numbers".
- The seller, who uses the Super Bee for car shows and cruises, has
provided a photo of the partial VIN stamp on the block for
confirmation (see "Tags" below).
- Powertrain: The four-barrel, 335-horsepower, 425-lb-ft of torque,
Magnum 383-cu.in. OHV V8 "has just 770 miles on it since its
rebuild to stock specifications," he assures.
- "Pump the gas pedal a couple of times & start it. The idle is
good, & no smoke or leaks" are present.
- The 727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission was
checked during the restoration & resealed--it shifts well.
- The rear ring-and-pinion gears were replaced, but the seller is
unsure of the gear ratio that was installed.
- Exterior: Repainted two years ago in its factory code-R4 Charger
Red, the exterior finish remains "excellent," the seller notes, w/
"no rust, swirls, or blemishes."
- A new vinyl top & Bumble-Bee stripe were installed after the
paintwork was completed.
- The seals were replaced, the glass is of "good quality," & the
lighting functions as designed.
- Interior: New black vinyl covers were installed on the seats &
"all adjustments work, w/ no restrictions," the seller reports.
- The carpet was replaced, the headliner is "in good condition," &
the trim is intact.
- All the gauges, the heater, and interior lighting work, as does
the original AM radio.
- Chassis: During the restoration, the torsion bar front-end &
leaf-spring rear suspension were rebuilt--the bushings & shocks
were replaced, per the seller.
- The four-wheel drum brakes were also rebuilt, & the "pedal feels
good all the time," he comments.
- American Racing 15-inch aluminum wheels are "in good shape," and
the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires are "four-years old," he
reveals.
- DOT date codes, to confirm tire age, are not visible in the
images provided.
- There are "no vibrations" while driving, & the rebuilt power
steering is "in good condition, w/ no play, vagueness, or leaks,"
he concludes.
- Documentation: The seller states that this vehicle will be sold
on a clean New Mexico title in his name. He adds, "receipts &
photos" are included in the sale.
- Thanks to its recent restoration, this 1969 Dodge Coronet Super
Bee is road & show ready. ALL ODOMETER READINGS ARE ASSUMED NOT
ACTUAL OR EXCEED THEIR MECHANICAL LIMITS UNLESS STATED ACTUAL MILES
BY THE SELLER.
