Background:
The Dodge Super Bee followed after the creation of Plymouth's successful Roadrunner Chief difference's were the use of available tail stripes or available "C" stripe in 1970 only, classy wheel lip moldings & incorporation of Charger Ralleye instrument cluster, all these were standard equipment. The nifty tic toc tac was an option to compliment the gauges.
Super Bee's had a standard "power bulge" hood to set apart from other Coronets. In 69 & 70 distinctive Ram Charger hood scoops were offered as well. Super Bee's used the mid line Coronet trim level so they always had carpet & never a "taxi cab" interior. 1968 used 2dr coupes only adding 2 dr hardtop as well in 1969, unlike Road runner never a convertible.
The 383 4 bbl Magnum was the standard engine with 335 hp however cars w/ air conditioning had a 330hp engine. A 426 Hemi with 425 hp was the only engine option in 1968. In 1969 a 440 6 pack was offered using 3-2 bbls & 4.10 axle ratio. In 1971 the 383 was detuned hp wise to 300 hp while a 340 was also offered. A 4-spd was the standard trans in 1968-69 while 3spd was entry level starting 1970.
