As if muscle cars weren’t specialized enough simply because of their performance image, a new sub-specialty group was forming. The Super Bee option was on top of the Dodge Coronet R/T package that already included an impressive assembly of heavy-duty parts. Over at GM, Pontiac was doing the same thing with their “Judge” version of the GTO.

The Super Bee was the Dodge version of the Plymouth Road Runner. Or it could have been the other way around, depending on your brand loyalty. Either way, the car provided solid performance and a unique personality, all at a very reasonable price.

Dodge’s official statement was the following, “The Super Bee is for the guy who wants a low-priced performance car with all the goodies to make it a true performance car. If your customer doesn’t believe it, tell him you’ll meet him with a Super bee at the local drag strip.”

How’s THAT for a challenge.
