Dodge SUPER BEE 🐝 History (1968-1980) - Coronet, Charger, and Mexican Versions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 мар 2020
- For today's video we are going over the full history of the Dodge Super Bee! I've decided to split this into 2 parts. Part 1 today covers the 1968-1971 Super Bee (Coronet/Charger) and the 1970-1980 Mexican Valiant Super Bee. Part 2 covers the 2007-2014 Super Bees that recently returned to the Chargers. The Super Bees became a budget performance car, and got their own unique features, special high-impact paint colors, and powerful engines.

I own a 1970 Dodge Super Bee. My dad bought it new back in 69. Gets a lot of attention. 👍🏼🇺🇸😊
Wait a minute
@@truereaper4572 you can buy next model year cars new, if that's what you're confused about. Our 2014 caravan was bought in may 2013.
@@truereaper4572 You can buy the next year of cars lol it's been around for years
@@crr311sux5 now days don't they call it pre-order lolz 😂
I have a 71 Charger Super Bee. Hemi orange with 440 and it originally had 383.
I was sixteen years old and my parents asked me if I wanted their beat up Dodge Super Bee before sending it to the junk yard. It was 1976 and I was a sophomore at Palm Springs High School (California). Thank God I had auto shop all three years. By the time I got done with it. I had a beautiful muscle car; almost exactly like the dark green Super Bee you show case in the video. I sold it for $2000 for college tuition. There's not a day that goes by that I kick myself when I think about it. It was a great time to be alive. I now have a 5.7 Hemi Challenger to ease the pain.
My uncle had a 1970 Super Bee, red with a white top and interior, 440 6 pack, 4 speed car. I used to love riding in that car when I was a kid!
I have some old 8mm film of him racing that car, great times!
The 70 Superbee's are liked by many now. They seem to grow on you. Ive had my 70 Bee for 30 years
My father in law has a 69 Super Bee in excellent original condition green with the magnum 383 ,!garage queen .Great conversation piece when he drives it.
I had the same one.
The 1st gen Super Bee is a work of art. 😍 Those engine sound clips sound amazing
1970 is my fav year of the Superbee 😍🐝
Don't like the front grill in the 70,but they got front docs for the first time that year.
I don't care how fast modern cars get, they will never sound as good as a big block with a lumpy cam.
Age and Treachery thats why ive got three in the backyard
@@Welcometofacsistube Could you spare a '69 Road Runner for a friend in need?
I have owned many BB Mopars, and would have agreed with your statement. That is until l heard 6.1s & 392s with thumping cams, and should check it out for yourself
@@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374 I was saying that more along the lines of smaller turbo motors. Those buggers are quick from the factory and only need some E85 and a tune to be damn fast. They sound like feces though.
OIC, those cars do sound like turd and didn't know you were referring to the ricers. They do not matchup whatsoever nor are they in the same class, and the gen3 hemi cars would be a better way to compare them. That's what I thought you were talkin about, and is one of the things thats missing with modern muscle. Like I said, that is until I heard some with aggressive cams and changed my mind. I've been building a Challenger SRT8 and am thinking about doing a comp or custom grind because of this very reason, and should really rock going through the 3"racing pipes that I've got on her
💪🏼😎
When I lived in Laveen, AZ, our neighbor had 4 abandoned-ish cars, a 70's Mercury Comet, a 90's Jeep Cherokee, a '77 Firebird T/A (possibly a Bandit edition), and a '70 Coronet Super Bee. He also bought 2 abandoned '69 Mustang Mach 1's, but obviously still sad.
My buddy had a 68 and my first car was a Charger of the same year, and had so much fun running the streets in them. Love these vids
I've owned Satellites, Fury's etc. Never a Superbee. But my siblings & cousins & I loved the fork out of our uncle's car, a '69 Coronet that he bought/ordered new. Every check box for HD anything, boom..but..in the form of a Coronet 440 model.
Inc. a 383 Magnum, 4 spd A-833, 3.23 Sure-Grip rear..HD brakes, suspension, cooling..all that.
Turquoise ext and all white interior..a sleeper and lovely one. He removed one tail pipe so it looked like a single exaust car & he put a bigger carburetor on it as the stock ones were too small on the 383..totes a bottle neck & easily cured.
An 850 is barely enough to feed that mill..stock were far smaller, around 500 cfm.
He street raced it and kicked serious ass :D
describing the 68. while showing another year, what an expert.
Love the old Dodge Coronet Super Bee from the 60's and 70's and that they were much more reliable then today's Dodge Muscle Car and that these old muscle cars are collector's items :)
You are full of shit. The cars from the 70's had a 12k warranty for a reason..they didn't last. The crap Hemi had a 90 day warranty, The bodies were rust bucket garbage, the brakes were good for one power stop, and handling was crap. Newer muscle cars have 50K warranty, and can often go 100K, don't rust, brake, handle, and have 400% better build quality. Stop posting BS.
@@chadhaire1711 Warranty coverage was deliberately curtailed on Hemi-equipped cars as well, since Dodge knew exactly how (and where) these models would be driven. Instead of the standard five-year, 50,000 mile powertrain warranty, Hemi Challengers received a 12-month, 12,000 mile warranty that was valid for the original owner only.
www.hemmings.com/stories/2014/08/29/how-does-the-1970-dodge-hemi-challenger-stack-up-against-its-modern-equivalents
1963-70 Mopars DID offer the 5/50 warranty, except on the 426 Hemi cars (12 month/12,000 miles). 1971 was the first year of the 12/12 across the board..
@@piercehawke8021 The warranty was 90 days not 12 months for the 426. The article is wrong. Also, the factory of today also know how buyers are going to use them and get a full warranty. racing schools are racking up as much as 60,000 miles on hellcats without issues, while a 1970 car would be lucky to make it past 6,000 miles of daily racing. And none of this has to do with your comment saying that these older cars were more reliable which is 100% false.
I never knew of the Mexican "super-bee's"! Far-Out, man. Looking forward to Pt. 2. (PS: the Plymouth GTX was the luxury hot-rod over the RoadRunner)
I love the new challenger and all the old mopar muscle cars, especially the ‘70 superbee.
70 is my Fav also
Thanks for doing more historical articles along with your contemporary ones.
Got a 68 Super Bee i’m in the middle of restoring
My childhood friend's brother had one with a yellow body and beige vinyl top with 150 on the dash. " No Shit Sherlock"
How it going
Hello, still have my '71 SuperBee 383 Magnum (slim green) in the garage her in Orange County, CA. I had it 80% restored about 5 years ago and will be doing it over again soon. It has about 125,000 original miles. I purchased it in 1971 and drove it in high school and college. It's still in my name but I gave it to my son. I told him never to sell it.
Great explanation of the super bee nameplate
Thanks for watching!
dude, great video!!! you mentioned the Road Runner a few times. would love to see a video about them. absolutely love the '71 body style. once again, thanks for the education
As I have mentioned previously, my stepfather had a ‘70 SuperBee he bought new. It was plum crazy purple, white interior, 383 auto with the twin scooped hood. One time we hit 140mph. My mom wasn’t too happy about that. I got to drive it once after getting my license before he traded it. Good video! Looking forward to part two. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦
No 383 Superbee ever hit 140 mph..the gearing and low horsepower makes it impossible...good BS story though.
chad haire No BS I was the passenger and my stepfather was driving. I saw the speedometer buried with my own two eyes.We got pulled over after clocked by air patrol when we had slowed down to 85 and had to go to the court house where my Stepdad paid a healthy fine. The speed limit back then was 70. I don’t care if you don’t believe it but it’s a fact.
@@LS1007 Your speedometer was lying to you....the real horsepower of the 383 was only 275 NET, and the gearing on the car would have stopped you at 120 mph..IF it had made it that far.....
chad haire Listen, I don’t care if you don’t believe it. I know what I saw so just go away and bother somebody else with your trolling because you know nothing about muscle cars from the past. For your information another car that I was in that did 140 mph was a 1978 Trans Am 455. I guess you don’t believe that either. Go away troll.
@@chadhaire1711 So you know the gears it had in the rear end? Well, some people are psychic I suppose.
I still miss my '68 Coronet R/T 440 everyday...............red, of course!!
I had a 69 Bee with 383 HO, Buckets Console, Factory Yellow,black bee stripe,white vinyl, and White Interior.It was the longest car I owned to date measuring almost 19'.
I bought a Coronet 500 in 79 from a used car dealer. Some guy traded it in for a Vega. He put a 2 barrel carb on it, it was during the gas "crisis". It only had 70k miles on it and had every option and the 383. I only paid $500 for it. I drove it every day for 2 years and never had any problems with it. Of course I put a competition series Carter carb and headers on it. I sold it for $1000 to pay my tuition. Wish I had that car now. They only made about 2k of them. Thanks for the video.
Love the 68-70 Super Bee! 70 being my favorite muscle car! Crazy to think people didn't like the new front end on the 70 back then.
I love the 70 superbee one of my favorite muscle cars.
David freibueger owned a beautiful 70 super bee with a hemi 484 sounds so good
7:05. These cars are much quicker nowadays with modern tires & tuning techniques :D
My Satellite barely did a burnout..she hooked and booked. When the 727 Torque-Flite grabbed 2nd, she'd chirp the tires..
the happiest sound, ever :D
only allowed 60 mph anyway
Where Dodge may have screwed up was NOT offering a Super Bee convertible, whereas Plymouth had the Road Runner vert for at least 1969-70.
*heavy buzzing intensifies*
I'd love to score one of the Mexican Super Bee's. They look pretty cool
I have a 2007 Charger Super Bee and looking forward to Part 2.
I used to have a Mexican version ‘72 Valiant Super Bee. It had the V8 318 HiPo with 4 speed Manual transmission, Hurst gear shift. It was an awesome car, lots of memories. Congrats on your channel and thanks for this great video !
love the mex content! - all new to me!
I'd love to have on of the early Mexican versions! Those cars looked tight!
Brilliant video!
Loved that format
Minor trivia: For 1970, the Duster was also known as the Valiant Duster in the US. They had a small Valiant badge on the fender above the Duster decal. It became its own model for '71.
Awesome 😎💪🐝
Nice job with the old school review! Hope to see more of these.
Learned a lot from this.Thank you so much!
My favorite Dodge was a 70' Challenger R/T, but the 69' A12 SixPack SuperBee 4 speed...was a close second
Great again!!
Nice video! It's great to see the Mexican versions. These are very interesting cars. Really great job!
I had a 1971 Dodge charger Super bee with the 383 Magnum engine and slap stick automatic.
Well done!
OMG, I saw one of those later "Super Bees" in Mexico once at the side of the road, gaudy decals and all, and I was like, "Damn, if you love the Super Bee that much, why didn't you just get that instead of a Duster?" lol, my bad, I didn't think it could actually be OEM for Mexico.
Great video!:)
That Plum Crazy
Wow amaizing docuseries....👍✌️
We got a 4 speed six pack superbee in f6 green. Been in the family since my grandma got it in 69
Bro, great video. I have always liked old muscle cars, but didn't know much about the Coronet or the Super Bee and I couldn't figure some shit out lol. Thanks, great video. I'm gonna watch the next one just cause. I like the old rides, but if it's as good as this one, I'll learn somethin from it. Thanks.
When I was just 8 years old, my uncle ruined me in the best possible way. At that time, he had a '62 Belvedere with a 440 police interceptor, 3 '68 Super Bees, a '66 Charger 440 six pack, and a '70 Hemi Dart. Ever since I have been a Mopr fanatic! I've owned a '70 Hemi Challenger, a '70 Dart with a 340, and currently own a '74 Plymouth Trailduster. My children are all Mopar nuts too!!! I can hardly wait for the next video!!!
5:00 my grandpa had a golden one with white interior back in the day. Its not a bad looking car, and he loved it, but everybody else thought it was ugly. Oh well. He sold it at 18 because "it tried to kill a few times". He recalls going to the showroom to see the brand new charger daytona in 1970 at a dodge dealership in adrian, Michigan. The $5,000 price tag was hefty! He was 15 at the time
Nice video! I have a 2012 yellow superbee
Those early 70's chargers were beautiful cars!
lady had one in south pasadena i could hear it start up 5 blocks away on saturday morn to shop was her sons he passed away in military so she kept it in memory of him
I really enjoyed it because dodge super bees are very rare
I love the look of the 70. Weird but beautiful.
Cool stuff loved the original model.
Great video thanks. The m12 bee's we're technically a 1969 1/2 being introduced mid year. Not that it matters but you have so much great information I wanted to add to it 👍😉
Did you notice the red Coronet at the 5:04 mark had Coronet 500, or Coronet R/T tail lights. Not Super Bee tail lights. Maybe someone made a Super Bee clone?
Thanks for the vid! When can we expect the 3rd installment of the Charger Police series?
THAT SOUND.
My first mopar was a 68 coronet 383/727 3:55
Ran 13.3@106mph all day
Not stock it didn't
chad haire Go play angry birds little troll.
@@LS1007 Troll? YOU are the one using a fake troll name Goober...my name is real. I test factory cars for a living, you do not, and I know what is real about cars and what is bullshit...going back to these 1970 cars. So you wanna call me out as a "troll". get on your keyboard and try again..you can't do any worse than this ......Does LS stand for Limp Suck? LOL
Highly underated cars I love the 70 bee
Love this car! Esp the 70
2008 S Bee B-5 BLUE love it Draws big attention
My 70 Coronet was B5 blue. Still my favorite color.
Excellent info on Mexican versions.
Well explained. Was always wondering and a bit confused. My bud had a 69 with a 383 4 speed but loaded up bucket seat, console etc interior. Nice car. Some of those Mexican ones are pretty slick. Duster/Demon like. The Bee at 5:04 looks to be actually a Coronet. Wow, thought the 70 would be the most popular. It's my favorite.
Imma need that Ram Rumble Bee 💪🏾🐝 video too.
Chevy suing intensifies
Very good video, what you mention is correct, and from what I see in some comments where they say that the "Mexican Super Bees are rare", it is because here in my country Mexico, the economy and the development of the automotive industry over the years From the 60's to the 80's it was highly restricted by national production due to economic inequality in Mexican households and government restrictions.
Here, since the production of the Big Block cars and the Challenger platform were too expensive, it was decided to make a profitable sports car, that was the Duster Super Bee, since it shares the engine, suspension, transmission and brakes with the Dodge Dart, so it Its production was more profitable, with the difference that the Mexican 318 shares parts from the American 340 six pack engine, which it kept from 1970-73, and for 1974-79 the 360 engine with 300hp was introduced.
I have a 79 Chrysler LeBaron that It has the 360 engine, and here in Mexico that engine earned the fame of being the "Devourer of Mustangs".
As for the Coronet (67-73) and Charger (70-73) they were always sold with the 318 engine, very few Muscle Cars with the USA package were sold here, it's very hard to find a Charger, Barracuda, Roadrunner or Challenger in Mexico.
For connoisseurs and fans of muscle cars in Mexico, the 360 engine and the 225 Slant Six are very dear, since here they were worthy rivals of the Ford 302 engine and the Chevrolet 350.
Easily some of the very best cars ever made. I have long been totally in love with Mopar B-bodies and the Super Bee, regardless of year, is a spectacular example.
They were all crap and are nothing to the newer cars
You’re just a troll who knows nothing about muscle cars of the past.
L S 👶😭🚼🍼👨👨👦
chad haire Do you hear that? Off in the distance? It's getting closer. It sounds like... The WAAAAAAAAMBULANCE!!
@@LS1007 You are the one with the fake troll name Goober...I test cars for a living--you do not. These old cars were junk..rust buckets and slow...
Could you do a full in-depth video on all the dodge muscle cars found in central and south america? Or even the world? Brazil got a couple cool ones.
4:03 The compression ratio listed for the 383 was correct in this chart for '71 only, previously she was at 10.5:1.
Rated hp is accurate in your chart, ofc actual numbers were higher. Much depended on state of tune..ie carb and distributor..and gasoline brand was a big deal, then..for instance my uncles Coronet i typed about in my other comment, he said that Clark 103 octane was so superior in making power to any other fuel it was ridiculous!
It felt like an honest 40 hp gain, seat of the pants..like a 10% jump. Burying the speedo was much more effortless with that gasoline.
383 Magnums could hit 400 hp stock on a dyno, then..again, given the right tune and fuel.
426 Hemi. Rated 425 hp. Dyno runs with a decent tune they hit..425 hp at 5,200 R's..
But! .. they made power to 6,100 RPM. And at that rev, talkin' upper 400 range..475-500 hp
Your figures are bullcrap All the horsepower ratings before 1971 were bogus.....they were taken on a dyno with all items removed like belts, air cleaners, and mufflers. That was the GROSS rating. Problem is when all these items were put back on the engine, and back in the car, REAL horsepower (SAE NET) dropped 18% easy. For the 426 it dropped from 425 to 350. For the 440-6 from 390 to 325. For the 383 335 to 275. Starting in 1972 ALL cars sold had to (and still do) be rated SAE NET as installed in the car with belts, muffler, and air cleaners. . So in 1972 MOPAR dropped the 426 to 350 hp and 440 to 325 hp in their parts catalog. The 2020 5.7 V-8 in the Dodge Charger puts out 375 net, more than the over rated 426 and 440 engines. GROSS hp readings from pre 71 mean NOTHING and neither do your figures.
@@chadhaire1711 i never mentioned accessories installed. just pure dyno hp. those things needed to actually operate a car ofc matter. however, the engines are still making the gross rating..just bc there are various things drawing power away, does not mean it is not still there. take a jet engine, for example. they are rated in lbs of thrust. a turbine from say, as F-16 has approx 25,000 lbs of thrust. if the pilot lowers the gear..akin to if the aircraft had items drawing power directly, as in the case of land vehicle engines, the turbine engines NET thrust would be lower. So, yes..the 440's & 383's made close to 400 hp. a 380ish hp Gen 3, 5.7L Hemi, then..makes more than the NET rating shows. I'm not saying one way is better or not. Just a hunch..maybe the auto makers went NET to kind of lower the heat coming from gov't and insurance companies? 8:1 compression engines are not that much lower powered than 10:1 mills, as many ppl still think..a view left over from the rating method switcheroo.
@@gzuzsavz The real hp of the 440 is 325, the 383 275, and 5.7 375
Ahhhhhhhh the super bee the one I like
Short video about dodge rumble bee truck?
I've never noticed how Rumble Bee, Super Bee, and Scatpack Bee have different designs
Saw one yesterday day in my widebody scatpack. Got a nice nod
2017 Scatpack considered a Super Bee? It has the bee on seats and dash start up animation
It's a different Bee. The Scatpack was actually a news letter and club in the 1960s and 70s.
The ScatPack was also performance enhanced cars identified by the stripe around the tail.
@@LS1007 In ads Dodge refrenced to them as The Cars With the Bumblebee Stripes.The Scatpack was their whole performance line up in ads from Dart GTS, Coronet RT, Super bee, Charger and Challenger RT. The Scatpack you mailed off for the monthly news letter. A patch, stickers and could get a jacket.
The 2017 sports a angry bee or rumbling bee. Not a super bee by definition.
5:30 1971. Pure beauty..the Fuselage cars. Damm.
My 1st car was a '71 Satellite 2dr with a '74 cop 440, got it in '84 for $1,500. Yeah!
...the best looking car, ever..not too diff from the early 70's Charger, sister fuselage flyer
Wow crazy how dodge is still using aspects from classic cars into modern cars the spoiler that’s seen in 9:36 is identical to the redeye spoiler on challys and the bottom lip is the same as modern chally scats/hellcats
I love the 71'
The 1968 Roadrunner came out at the beginning of the 1968 model year, while the 1968 Super Bee came out half-way into the 1968 model year. The Rally Dash was optional on other models, but standard on the Super Bee and the Super Bee had a low drag radiator fan option that wasn't available on the Roadrunner. The original high performance 383 engine was called the Roadrunner engine and was only available in the Roadrunner until the 1968 Super Bee came out with the 383 Magnum engine. This engine wouldn't be available in other models until the 1969 model year. The 1969 high performance 383 with manual transmission got special rear springs that were only used in the 1969 model year. Other model years used the same rear springs for automatic and manual transmission high performance 383 cars. The 1968 and 1969 4 barrel 383 engines had the highest compression ratio, with above deck pistons.
Owned a blue '71. Wish I still had it.
What’s cool is one of my dads friends had one of those rare 340 71 super bee’s and he’s fully restored it
The 1969 Coronet RT Quarter panel side vents. What was the option code's. Availability.
Years offered? 1968 through 71? What was the cost. Induced in what packages?
I am also interested in the 1970 model's of hood options. No scoops. Power scoops.
Power bulge. Air Grabber.
Thank you for looking into this.
Do a roadrunner episode next please
How can anyone be disappointed with that '70 front end?
I like the second gen it looks good, I think
I love my rumble bee the grandson
The car @ 5:05 isn’t a real Super Bee - in 1970, those tail lights came on Coronet 440’s, 500’s and RT models only.
my 1970 super bee is badass. i don't get why none liked the front end of the car. i think it looks cool as hell
older muscle cars just looks infinite times better than new muscle cars
I have a 69 super bee! But it's not in my garage it's on my desk at work 😄
I wish I had one of these cars, I do have a 1969 Dodge Polara highway patrol car with the 440 in it.
they all look so cool until 71
En México el SuperBee fue utilizado por la policía federal de caminos, eran autos muy bonitos 👌
Noticed that he didn’t mention the fact that Chrysler Dodge Plymouth mass produced it so they could race it as a production car and for a few years they won most races in their class.
lo mejor me gusto
I once saw a 1970 superbee do a burnout roll twice total loss...40 years later im still sick.!!!
