1969 Dodge Coronet
1969 Super bee A12 440 Sixpack 4-Speed Reproduction
If you were serious about going fast in 1969, the Dodge store was where you should have been shopping. They were so serious, in fact, that they built these incredible A12-code cars with 440 cubic inches, three 2-barrel carbs, and a wild lift-off fiberglass hood. In fact, they were serious enough to forego even hubcaps on the car, knowing that racers wouldn’t need them, or better yet, would simply be installing a set of lightweight aftermarket wheels the minute they got home. Lightweight, cheap, and scary fast was a recipe that served the Super Bees extremely well.
This Original F8 1969 Super bee A12 Reproduction is a great example of the buy-it-today, race-it-tomorrow cars that Dodge was putting out at the height of the muscle car era. Subject to a restoration three years ago, it remains in nice condition today, ready to show or enjoy. This car can be purchased at the fraction of the cost of an original A12 car. One added bonus is this is a true Superbee with original fender tag.
This car was built like the originals. There are no options on the car except for the 440 Six Pack engine, 4-Speed and the white Bumblebee sport stripe on the tail. Personally, I really dig the stripped down, bare-knuckled street fighters like this – they don’t have any kind of identity crisis like some of the loaded up cars might. You wanted fast, this is what you bought. If you wanted something with more luxury, you bought something else that wasn’t as fast. Combined with that lift-off hood, cars like this certainly separated the men from the boys.
