1968 Dodge Super Bee

[Paul Ceasrine]

Great Digging Pete,

From what I dug up,

The 1968 Super Bee {383/335 HP} Automatic was a Street-Driven 'Shop Car' that was tweaked.

Ran in 'E/SA' in 1968.

Won a 'few' Class Trophies at {AHRA Tracks} Lions Dragway and Freemont Dragstrip in 1968,
including winning 'Formula Stock' {E/SA} at Freemont Drag Strip on June 22, 1968.

* E/SA {Dick Landy}....... 13.67 @ 102.10 MPH

Thanks Paul, I try.

Nope, that's the 440 Magnum-powered Coronet R/T.

Check out the placement of the Hemi scoop on the Charger. I never noticed this before. I guess DL wanted to achieve a cowl induction-type effect.

Mopar68,

That is correct.

In the background, that is the 1968 Coronet R/T {440/375 HP} which
ran in both SS/F and SS/FA in NHRA.

Younger brother Mike Landy drove that car.

The 1968 Super Bee {383/335 HP} that was the 'Shop Car' had the
same paint scheme and Cragar Wheels,

But, less the 'Decals' and lettering.

Yes, that was my Dads car. At the time it had a 68 vin# but looks like a 69 (front and rear)

Did your father purchase the bee from Jerry Perkel's White Bear Dodge? I remember in 1970 there was an ex Landy car on the Perkel's lot, but I cannot remember details. It was painted up in the Landy color scheme is about all that I can remember about the car.

No, my Dad acquired the car from the guy that bought it from White Bear Dodge. My brother has a newspaper add from back in the day when it was for sale there.
It was all silver at the time, but their were red and blue stripes underneath the silver paint.
