One of the fastest muscle cars ever made was the 1969 Dodge Super
Bee A12 with the 440 cubic inch engine sporting three performance
carbs and featuring a lift-off fiberglass hood, and we have a
stunning tribute based on a real Super Bee here for sale at Skyway
Classics.
The origin of the name, "Super Bee" started out as a "B" Body
designation of Chrysler's mid-sized cars, including the Road Runner
and Charger. Plymouth's Road Runner sales were enough to have Dodge
Division General Manager, Robert McCurry, request a similar model
from the Dodge Styling office.
Senior designer, Harvey J. Winn, won a contest within the design
branch with the name "Super Bee" and a new logo design based on the
Dodge "Scat Pack" Bee medallion became a reality.
Mechanical
The A12 was all about speed and was on a diet of minimal options to
keep the weight down. Ours has a special lift-off lightweight
fiberglass hood with the scoop on top and the chrome hood pins that
secured the hood to the body.
The engine in our Super Bee is a much modified 440 cubic-inch V8
engine with the legendary Six Pack on top. This engine has been
punched to a huge 505 cubic inch powerhouse with dyno sheets
showing 589 horsepower and 619 ft. lbs of torque!
We have extensive receipts for so many parts like cam & kit, MSD
ignition, dyno work, power steering, air conditioning, Holley
carbs, and so much more.
It has the correct Hemi Orange paint on the block, valve covers,
and air element that correctly seals to the hood with the famous
triple Holley carbs on the Edelbrock hi-rise intake that gave it
the name "Six-Pak."
Backing it up is the equally stout Hemi 4-speed manual transmission
that can handle all the power as well as a limited-slip Dana 60
rear end.
Interior
The brand new Legendary black interior features factory bucket
seats and black carpet with the stock dash and all the factory
gauges, wood steering wheel, as well as the 4-speed shifter in the
factory center console.
The Super Bee had a better quality interior than a comparable Road
Runner back in the day, and you can tell it with all the
period-correct features, like the insignia trim on the front bucket
seats, pillarless hardtop, steering wheel and seat belts.
Exterior
Our 1969 Super Bee has had a restoration and repaint on the whole
car in Bahama Yellow with the black Super Bee striping and log
accented by the black vinyl top are factory-correct, and they have
received the right attention so you'll love showcasing them.
.
The body for the 1969 model year brought few modifications but a
new grille with center divider and longitudinal taillights shows
off the great paint and classic muscle car lines on ours.
It rides on the chrome 5-spoke Magnum wheels with the right chrome
lug nuts with front and rear black sidewall Pirelli Scorpion
performance tires and has a great look and stance like when it was
new.
The sound is great with the exhaust flowing into the dual exhaust
system and believe me it can back up the look and sounds when you
open up those three carbs and feel the power kick in.
Conclusion
This 1969 Dodge A12 Super Bee 440-6 Tribute we have here at Skyway
Classics is one of the ultimate muscle cars and usually considered
to be one of the four fastest muscle cars ever made in that era,
that was restored and could be a show-stopper car of your
collection.
We have a lot of paperwork on the car including older
registrations, receipts, dyno charts, and this Super Bee makes a
ton of horsepower to fool a lot of people who happen to be
unfortunate to pull up alongside and want to challenge it!
This real 1969 Dodge Super Bee is very collectable and a rare
hardtop that is becoming more valuable every day.
So give us a call at 941-254-6608.
