1968 Dodge Coronet HEMI SUPER BEE

RESTORED 1968 DODGE SUPER BEE 426 HEMI 4 SPEED DANA 60 DOCUMENTED IN REGISTRY


IN 1968, MOPAR DIVISIONS - DODGE AND PLYMOUTH, BEGAN TO ENGAGE IN A BIT OF A RIVALRY.
THE RESULT WAS THE THE DODGE SUPER BEE, A COMPETITOR TO PLYMOUTH'S ROAD RUNNER.

DODGE WATCHED AS PLYMOUTH LAUNCHED THEIR BUDGET MUSCLE CAR, ROAD RUNNER, IN THE FALL
OF 1967 AS A 1968 MODEL. DODGE BEING KNOWN FOR AS SPORTY THAN PLYMOUTH LAUNCHED IT'S
OWN BUDGET MUSCLE CAR BASED ON THE REDESIGNED CORONET PILLARED COUPE. DODGE LOOKED
TO IT'S SCAT PACK SYMBOL AND RELEASED IT'S NEW MODEL IN THE SPRING OF 1968 AS THE
SUPER BEE.

THE STANDARD ENGINE WAS THE 335HP/383 V8 THAT BORROWED IT'S VALVE TRAIN,
INDUCTION SYSTEM INCLUDING CYLINDER HEADS FROM THE MAGNUM 440.

THE 426 HEMI WAS THE ONLY ENGINE OPTION, BUT AT ALMOST $1,000 MORE, IT
CLASHED WITH THE BUDGET NATURE OF THE SUPER BEE AND ONLY 125 WERE ORDERED.

THOUGH IT WAS A HEFTY PRICE, $714.00 EXTRA WOULD BUY THE ULTIMATE STREET ENGINE,
ONE UNMATCHED BY ANY OTHER (EXCEPT VIPER-10): THE 426 HEMI. THAT PRETTY MUCH
GUARANTEED THE ABILITY TO WIN AT STREETLIGHT RACES. THE IDEA WAS GOOD ENOUGH
FOR DODGE TO STEAL WITHOUT GIVING PLYMOUTH A SINGLE UNCHALLENGED MODEL YEAR.

THE DODGE SUPER BEE STARTED AT JUST OVER $3,000.00; THE NAME
WAS A PLAY ON THE B-BODY ON WHICH BOTH ROAD RUNNER & SUPER BEE
WERE BASED - THE BELVEDERE AND CORONET RESPECTIVELY.

THIS PARTICULAR 1968 DODGE SUPER BEE REPRESENTS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE
ONE OF THESE TREASURED BEASTS. DOCUMENTED RESTORATION. 4 MILES ON ODOMETER.
