    So great to see a Bee brought back to life like this one. These kind of cars are the most economical cars of all because of the way they make you feel.

    Best super Bee I’ve ever seen, a true Mopar classic, love the sound of that 383, I know because I had a 69
    Roadrunner in 1969 as my first new car .

    Beautiful Car, nice to see how much joy it gives you.
    I have a 69 Roadrunner 572Hemi and a 69 Charger RT/4SPEED.
    If we have nice weather, i drive every day with my Mopars.

    People who have the same passion as you do feel the same way ❤🤣. I know because I have a 1966 Plymouth barracuda formula s four-speed 83/4 rear . 273 4bbl. And I truly understand how you feel 👍👍👍

    Great job. I also love those Superbees .. I'm lucky to have my DAD'S 1969 BEE that he bought new in 1969. It has about 56000 original miles but needs a complete restoration.. Your video has been a inspiration to get back to getting it ready for it's restoration.. Thanks for sharing your car..

    The '69 Bee is so underappreciated when compared to the more popular B-Body Chargers & Roadrunner/GTX's. To me, the '69 Bee is simply gorgeous, front to back. It can hold its own against the other B's.

      The Coronet is the progenitor of all "B"s. I prefer the Coronet's definitive tail light array. They knew it was what everyone was going to see the most of! Nothing runs like a Dodge. It is truly a spiritual experience to feel the torque transfer along the drive-line.🚀

    • @lovemetal2467
      @lovemetal2467 Рік тому

      It's my favorite old-school Mopar. It's my dream car, either with a 440-Magnum or a 383-Magnum. Nothing like the stance of a Coronet or Superbee.

    In 1969 (I was 21 and in the navy and only making chicken feed for pay) I wanted a Super Bee like yours, but the sad fact is I couldn't afford one, so I had to settle on a stripped down 340 Dodge Dart Swinger. Your restored Super Bee is absolutely awesome in red exterior and white interior. Thanks for posting.

    Somehow I missed the intro, about the ride in the back seat of your dad's friend and his 442. My "hook" was set at 7 yrs old in the back seat of my parent's 1969 Roadrunner. Basic 383 HP auto, but when my dad matted the gas to run down a speeding car on the Interstate (he was a cop) and caught him w/in a half mile, I've been a Mopar fan ever since!

    I "get it" the way it makes you feel! I had a 71 Charger R/T at 16 yrs old in 1978. 440 4bbl auto, and stock it would beat all of the new "muscle cars" that some of the guys in high school were getting. I could beat the Z28s and Trans Ams with 4 passengers in my R/T and the AC on.
    Now, my warmed over 70 Roadrunner, 440 6bbl, manual transmission, 4.10 gears and too much to list makes me feel like a teenager again, and it's way faster than that Charger R/T was. I like cruising in it and the occasional rip down the quarter mile too, but just hearing it idle w/the header cutouts open is therapeutic: ua-cam.com/video/0ICpCdzwdhA/v-deo.html
