Re: 1968 Dodge Super Bee
The Plymouth Road Runner was released first, October 1967
The Dodge Super Bee made it's appearance on February 15, 1968. With much less 'fanfare' than the Road Runner. Off the 'showroom floor', the 383/335 HP - 1968 'Super Bee' was pretty much a flat '15-second' @ 95 MPH - Quarter-Mile runner. But, a few Dealerships offered a dealer installed - "14-Second / 100 MPH Package". For $375, the dealership would install, * 4.10 Gears * Hooker Headers (1 3/4" pipe x 44" length x 3" collectors) * Special Pinion-Snubber * Tricked up Distributor Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 05-15-2014 at 02:32 PM. |

Re: 1968 Dodge Super Bee
Still have our '68 Coronet R/T. Mom bought it back in late '72. Just wish dad hadnt cut up the original hood, to put the monster scoop on, when she was racing it, back then.

Re: 1968 Dodge Super Bee
Lost in the 'shuffle' of the1968 Dodge Super Bee 383/335 HP cars, was
The Coronet 500 with the 383/335 HP Better interior, bucket seats and more chrome trim. And a little heavier at 3530 lbs., which put you in F/Stock in 1968, where you would have an easier time. 1968 Dodge Coronet 500 (Hardtop Coupe) with the 383/335 HP Production Numbers.......2836 = (518 4-Speeds ) and (2218 Automatics) Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 12-06-2012 at 12:12 PM. |

Re: 1968 Dodge Super Bee
Here's one of Dick Landy's '68 Coronet R/T when they did those Supercar Clinics at Chrysler dealerships back in the late 60's...

Re: 1968 Dodge Super Bee
Hm,, No, I never got to take it anywhere,, after that episode. However in the 40 plus years since that day, I've had a lot of fun telling the story to friends and family. Even found one of my old snapshots from then,,, still got the hair, but I don't know where that waistline went, still looking for it.

Super Bee,
Any luck finding information on Dick Landy having a 1968 Dodge Super Bee 383 as a 'Shop Car'. It was Raced a few times in early-1968, classed in NHRA 'E/SA', and AHRA Formula Stock. Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 05-15-2014 at 12:07 PM. |
