Vehicle Description
1969.5 Dodge Coronet Super Bee - Sold New at Highland Chrysler
Plymouth of Grand Rapids, MI - Paint Code FJ6 Go Green -
440cid/390hp 3x2bbl Six Pack V8 - 4 Speed Manual - Original Build
Sheet - Fully Restored With roots that date back to 1949, the Dodge
Coronet was considered a bonafide muscle car in the late 1960s.
Rounding out the last years of the sixth generation, the Coronet
and Plymouth Belvedere received complete redesigns and shared
similar B-body platforms. The Coronet Super Bee was introduced in
early 1968 as a companion to the Plymouth Road Runner. The Super
Bee was available as a 2-door coupe or 2-door hardtop even though
Chrysler did display a convertible in car shows within the 1968
year, it was never offered as a production model. Since we're
talking about an iconic muscle car, we will start by telling you
about the power plant found under the hood. Mid-way through the
1969 model year, Dodge introduced the 440ci V8 with three
two-barrel carbs, which has come to be known as the 440 Six Pack.
This engine produced 390 hp and 490 ft-lb of torque and was only
available to the Super Bee packages. The vehicle shown here
includes the Ram Air-fed, powerhouse, 440 Six-Pack engine, along
with a 4-speed manual transmission. This superb example of American
muscle hails directly from Highland Chrysler Plymouth of Grand
Rapids, MI, and comes complete with the original build sheet.
Sporting the factory correct Go Green exterior paint and black
interior, this beast of a vehicle is sure to turn heads. This car
was treated to a full restoration, which was meticulously performed
by a serial Mopar collector. In addition to its unmistakable
rumble, this Super Bee is outfitted with the ramcharger hood, steel
wheels wrapped in high-performance redline tires, and Super Bee
package badging. The High Impact paint color of Go Green is hard to
miss on this car. The paint was clearly applied by an expert as it
shows extremely well. The body panels line up as they should, and
exterior trim and lights are in great condition. The interior is in
amazing condition, and shows as if this vehicle just rolled off the
assembly line. Speaking of the assembly line, it is said that in
1969 just over 1,900 440 Six-Pack Super Bees rolled off the line.
Inside the car is pretty spartan; a few necessary gauges, Hurst
shifter, AM/FM radio, lap belts, and a black bench seat which lines
right up with that simple dashboard. A bench seat with no bolsters
in a powerful car like this seems like an odd idea compared to
today's standards, but this car is made to go fast in a straight
line. Low E/T's are it's M.O., not low lap times! If you are in the
market for a MOPAR muscle car, look no further than this stunning
example. It's got a 440 Six-Pack V8, 4-speed manual transmission,
High Impact paint color, and a build sheet. This awesome Dodge
Coronet Super Bee could be the crown jewel of your collection.
