Vehicle Description
1968 Dodge Super Bee
The Super Bee was a unique mid sized muscle car that was only
produced in America for a short 3 years. Many don't realize it but
the name actually lived on until 1980 but was applied to Mexico
produced Valiants as a trim option. Dodge was watching Plymouth
have large success with the Road Runner so decided they needed a
version of their own. The Super Bee name and logo was actually the
result of a contest which a senior designer won. He drew
inspiration from the "B body" platform and hit the ground running
with the "Super Bee" name. They were similar to the Road Runner but
were slightly larger with a redesigned grill and of course the
classic Bumble Bee tail stripe and die cast Bee medallions. This
1968 Super Bee is a very nice car that is ready to be driven and
enjoyed. Often times in the Mopar world people get into these high
end rare models and end up just parking them away in a collection
or museum. That is sort of which makes this car unique and cool
because not only is it an iconic numbers matching car but is a
Mopar you shouldn't be afraid to hop in and cruise around. The car
has received 1 repaint in its factory Dodge exclusive SS1 Yellow
combined with the Black rear stripe and Black taillight panel. The
chrome bumpers are in nice condition as is all the other
chrome/stainless around the windows, on the door handles, drivers
mirror and around the power bulge hood. These models had the dual
double headlights up front and dual triple taillights in rear which
all work properly. The glass throughout is all good with no issues.
The car sits on its original 15 inch rally wheels with BF Goodrich
Radial T/A tires.
Powering the car is its numbers matching 383 Magnum motor that runs
great. It is a manual brake car but was ordered with power steering
and air conditioning. The motor has been kept mostly stock but the
AC system has been modernized to take R134a refrigerant and has a
Sanden compressor. The car sounds good through its stock exhaust
manifolds and exits through chrome square tips below the rear
bumper. The transmission is the 3 speed Torqueflite automatic that
has been upgraded with a gear vendor unit. Underneath the car the
floors are all solid with no bad rust or problems.
The interior is done in all Black and has been kept very stock
original. It has a split front bench seat and rear bench seat with
lap belts in place on both. Up front it also has shoulder belts
that are clipped up by the headliner. The dash features a Black
dash pad and all of the stock style gauges, knobs, switches, and
radio. In front of the driver is the stock 3 spoke wood grain
steering wheel with the classic Dodge "Fratzog" logo horn button.
The trunk of the car is nicely finished out and houses the original
spare and jack set up.
This is a really cool classic muscle car that is mechanically sound
and set up to be a fun driver.
It is being offered up at the very reasonable $57,500.00!
