Vehicle Description
This 1968 Dodge Super Bee is powered by a period-correct 426ci HEMI
V8 engine topped with two Carter four-barrel carburetors and backed
by a matching-numbers TorqueFlite A727 HP 3-speed automatic
transmission with Chrysler's 8.75-inch axle and 3.23:1 Sure-Grip
differential. The Super Bee is one of only 93 HEMI automatics
produced and was ordered new from Palmer Dodge in Indianapolis, IN.
The car was used in period as a drag racer at local tracks in the
Indianapolis area. The original HEMI engine was sent to a shop for
repairs in the 1970s. While at the shop, the HEMI engine went
missing, only to be rediscovered in the early 1990s within a 5-mile
radius of where it was originally lost. During the interim, the
Super Bee was powered by a 383ci V8. The car sports a
matching-numbers body and has undergone a no-expense-spared
professional concours-level rotisserie restoration. The original
owner repainted the car white with blue stripes; during the
restoration it was returned to its original finish of JJ1 Medium
Gold Metallic over a black vinyl interior that is completely
original except for the carpet and headliner. The Super Bee is
equipped with power steering, bumper guards as well as AM radio and
8-track tape player. This Super Bee comes complete with a Dave Wise
Validation Report and is in the MMC Detroit Global Vehicle
Registry. It also features the original dealer Window Sticker,
factory OEM production Broadcast Sheet, owner's manual, build
receipts and restoration photos.
