1969-1/2 Dodge Super Bee
440 Six Pack 4-Speed 4:10 Dana
Owner: Unknown
Location: Ontario
The 69-1/2 Super Bee is long thought to be the pinnacle vehicle from the Muscle Car Era. There was no mistaken the purpose of this bad boy; to go fast and look menacing while doing it. According to Galen's White Book this is 1 of 826 4-speed hardtops sold new in the USA. This example is the seldom seen T5-Copper Metallic 4-speed car with 70,000 miles. It's an original and rust-free car from West Virginia. The car was purchased in Detroit on April 1st, 2001. It was restored to #2 condition by the former owner, and still retains all its original sheetmetal. the owner says this one runs as good as it looks...it has no troubles loosing traction in third gear!!!
What a great looking car, I think the white bumble bee stripe really sets it off perfectly. I also prefer it with the original black painted steel wheels and redline tires.
He says it is a real handfull to drive with the bias ply tires, so because he loves to drive it he has an extra set of radials mounted on Cragars for buzzing around on.
