The 1968 through 1970 would be known as the First Generation Super Bee In 1970, Dodge also produced four Super Bee convertibles the whereabouts of the four cars are unknown. The 1970 cars from Dodge were chock-full of new and improved options for example: a 'double hockey stick stripe' variant of the bumble stripe was offered in addition to new high-back bucket seats, steering column-mounted ignition as well as a ' pistol-grip' Hurst shifter on four-speed models. The engine choices, as well as the 'ramcharger' hood carried over from 1969. The base 383 hp (high performance), 440 Six Pack, and the 426 Hemi.ġ970 the Super Bee received a cosmetic redesign and was given a new front end that consisted of a twin-looped front bumper that Dodge PR referred to as 'bumble bee wings'. The 1969 model year gave Chrysler customers several engines to choose from. This option fell half-way between the standard engine and the Hemi. A 'six-pack' (three two-barrel carburetors) version of Dodge's 440 cubic inch engine was added to the offering list mid-year. This particular option was coded N-96 and was the counterpart to the Plymouth Road Runner's Coyote Duster air induction hood. The 1968 model only came as a two-door coupe and two engine options, the base 335 hp 383 Magnum,& the 426 Hemi rated at 425 hp.Ī hardtop version joined the existing pillared coupe body for 1969, and a new optional twin-scooped air induction hood was now available and became known as the Ramcharger. Outside, a stripe (with the bee logo) was wrapped around the tail. The Super Bee included a heavy-duty suspension, an optional Mopar A-833 four-speed and high-performance tires. It was the company's low-priced muscle car. It was a two-door coupe model only 1968 through 1970. The original Super Bee was based on the Dodge Coronet. Although a capable budget muscle car, it never was as successful as the Road Runner. The result was the Dodge SuperBee, a direct competitor to Plymouth's Road Runner. In 1968 the two MOPAR divisions, Dodge and Plymouth, began to engage in a bit of sibling rivalry. A 4-speed was the standard transmission in 1968-69 while 3-spd was entry level starting 1970. In 1971, the 383 was detuned hp wise to 300 hp while a 340 was also offered. In 1969 a 440 6 pack was offered using 3-2 bbls & 4.10 axle ratio. A 426 Hemi with 425 hp was the only engine option in 1968. The 383 4 bbl Magnum was the standard engine with 335 hp, however cars w/ air conditioning had a 330hp engine. 1968 used 2dr coupes only adding 2 dr hardtop as well in 1969, and unlike Road Runner never a convertible. Super Bee's used the mid line Coronet trim level so they always had carpet & never a 'taxi cab' interior. In 69 & 70, distinctive Ram Charger hood scoops were offered as well. Super Bee's had a standard ' power bulge' hood to set apart from other Coronets. The nifty tic toc tac was an option to compliment the gauges. The Dodge Super Bee followed after the creation of Plymouth's successful Roadrunner With the chief difference's being the use of available tail stripes or available 'C' stripe in 1970 only, classy wheel lip moldings and the incorporation of Charger's Ralleye instrument cluster. 5 Year by Year Changes, Production Numbers, and Cost:.To see over 80 photos of this car, including under carriage please visit our website 2.3.3 Second Generation Mexican Super Bee This is a fresh restoration where all the engine work, paint, seats, and interior is all new and looking awesome for the next owner!
