Casey, a good point. How many people priced Hemi cars, and then could not insure them especially with a 4 speed. In l969 the insurance rating people missed the Super Bee. The Road Runner was a HP model and had the high insurance, so our mainstay sale was a Super Bee 383, but loaded up with Buckets, console and A/C, and other comfort items and low insurance, and generally a little easier to finance. You had to really want a 440 car or a Hemi, course the Hemi was not available with A/C, and we are far south, hell we are 30 miles from the Gulf. That car probably kept us in business the first year till we learned how to sell trucks, station wagons, and 4 dr sedans.
