1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee Coupe

There is no doubt that Dodge was 'all in' when it came to grabbing their piece of the Muscle Car market. With the creation of the 'Scat Pack' in 1968 and numerous wins in NHRA and AHRA drag events, everyone knew that the Dodge Boys were serious about performance.

Mid-year 1969 brought what many consider the wildest of the 1960's and 1970's muscle cars. The 'M-Code' A12 Super Bee and its sister Roadrunners were built to rule the tracks....and the street. With the standard 440+6 barrel V8 engine producing 390 horsepower, it featured a trio of Holley carburetors under the lift-off fiberglass scooped hood. There was no doubt of what the intentions were.

To further enhance the street brawler image, a variety of in-your-face colors were offered, accenting the flat black trim. A basic bench seat interior was standard while optional bucket seats, as seen in this example, are a rarity.

Ads of the period featuring drag racer Ronnie Sox piloting an A12 Mopar further enhanced the bad boy image. Weekend racers considered these cars the perfect alternative to the much more costly and harder to tune 426 Hemi.

This prime example is one of just 267 4-speed A12 Super Bees built in 1969. It has been fully restored using a variety of original and new old stock parts to bring it back to exactly as delivered condition. And yes.....these cars were delivered as shown with the 15-inch black steel wheels, sans hubcaps.
