Currently restoring a 69. A lot of people make a big deal out of the fender tag but a great number of these, including my own, have missing Fender tags. VIN number is also stamped into the radiator support, and other locations on the body. The fender tag really doesn't mean that much. If it is the only reason why you will not purchase a car, then likely there's not many you will buy, because so many of them are missing
One of my high school teachers had that exact car in 1974, only I'm pretty sure it was real. Same color, 440 Six Pack/4 speed, only his had the Magnum 500 wheels with RWL tires. That became my dream car. Unfortunately I was never able to acquire one.
I have a 2007 Charger SRT8 Super Bee and the rear Super Bee emblem is all black. The Bee is colored on this car. Is that how they did it in 1969? Also, I think this would be called an A12 package with the fiber glass lift off hood?
I know a couple people that have one one was in a wreck a lot of rear end damage the other one had a carburetor problem and burnt the paint off the hood
I do not care if buckets and console weight more , they look good and as well this one is not a factory car so build and color choice it what i would have asked for if i was ordering it new.
Not to be picky, but if you're going to do a tribute, shouldn't you also put back any missing labels in the trunk such as the jacking instructions (If they were used back then)? Most times companies like Jim Osborn Reproductions make them. The details make the difference. Also, I think it's worth mentioning to see the fender/trim tag, even if this car wasn't a real Coronet Superbee originally. That and replace all of the burned out bulbs too :). I would think that the marker lights should be on when the parking lights are on. Probably just some missing/burned out bulbs, but all of that shows attention to detail. We got the VIN, we win: W for Coronet, H for High price class, 23 for two door hardtop, F for 318 V8 with two barrel, 9 for 1969 model year, G (not C as on HOC website) for St. Louis, MO assembly (Fenton) and the rest is the production sequence. No tag, can't brag.
1969 Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler cars did not have side marker lights, only reflectors. They had side marker lights in 68 and went back to them in 70. No burned out bulbs here.
@@gregr1073 Yup, I just read that, so I'll stand corrected on that item then, but there are some details that are missing/poorly done on this one. Butt splice connectors have no place under the hood on such a nicely done paint job/restoration and missing decals should be replaced to give it an authentic look.
@@googleusergp You are correct, it is a shoddy restoration in some ways and the sad thing is, I’m sure that the price won’t take that into account. By the way I always hated the fact that Chrysler cheapened out and went with reflectors for side markers in 1969 but I guess even then they were trying to save a few bucks. Hell, even AMC, who had no money put side marker lights on their cars in 69.
@@gregr1073 Before I would say "shoddy" I would say "lacks detail". If you're going to do a tribute like this, it should look every bit the part except for the trim tag and the VIN number. Aside from that, you shouldn't be able to tell them apart. Not the case here, and as you stated, the price won't reflect that. Everyone has "gold" now.
High Octane Classics just showed a 1969 Cougar Eliminator. It was missing the original Boss 302 and 4spd. It had a 351 Windsor and a automatic. Clutch pedal still in car. 🙄
@DFV Louderilk You grew up in a era...and you picked something with more power that sounds like a leaf blower? And your calling that era bullshit? At least you go down the streets with a smile. 😀
🤔I just asked yesterday for you to show a 69 super Bee I miss mine so much and here it is thank you Steve you're the man😎✌️
I’d buy it. Had a 383 4- speed back in the day
Same here 69 super Bee 383 4 speed sold it in the '80s haunts me forever 😎✌️
should have kept it.
I had the same.
🏆👀@@ClassicFIHD
How I wish we could go back in time to the glory years of the muscle cars.
Can you imagine driving a Toyota Prius and seeing this beast in your rear view mirror.😎👍
Lol
I cannot even imagine driving a Toyota Prius, that's a nightmare.
One of my favourites
Awesome!!!
REALLY WELL DONE video! It was all about the car, no stupid humour or Schtick!
Beautiful car. My brother had a '69 Coronet 440 with the 318. It was a aqua blue. A daily driver. Wish I had that car now.
Nice car
$69,000 nice??
Steve M is awesome...thanks for all your information...I miss Junk Yard Gold...
Breathtaking
A tire shredding monster!!!
The best year and car ever!
Awesome Super Bee!
❤❤❤❤really like these440. 6 pak motor
sounds amazing..nice ride
I'm a 1969 hs grad we had a gas station dropout student who bought a blue one. Summer 1969 Down interstate I-20 in Atlanta no one could touch us
My favorite car of all time!!
You the man Steve! Appreciate the Ug slippers 💪🏼
The only way to get there! Smashing!
Mopar 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
My Dad bought one new in 1968 Super bee 440 six pack it was yellow with black trim
68 440 6pack? 69 half I'd say? 383 or 426 that year. I maybe wrong, but I don't think so
No 440-6 till 69-1/2 , probably a typo
Mean car, here.

Yah especially on all the "Re-paints"
I miss my 69 BEE 383 4speed.
My 69 383S Fish keeps me happy today though!

I guess the good thing about tribute cars is if one did pitch it sideways into a post its not a huge loss like a true car would be . 😂
I have seen been in road runners and chargers but I have unfortunately never even seen a super bee 🐝 in real life
Really high red line.
Sweet
I do not care if buckets and console weight more , they look good and as well this one is not a factory car so build and color choice it what i would have asked for if i was ordering it new.
I HAD 2 OF THEM N MY LIFE NOW I CAN'T AFFORD TO SIT N ONE OF THEM
My 69 Super Bee had front disc brakes
My 69 383 4 speed Super Bee speedometer went to 130. (@3.33)
Super Bee indeed ! Why would anybody in their rite mind want to sell this car ???
Sweet Bird but someone needs to move those plug wires as they are very close to those headers. Someone's brave running them like that. Just saying.
It's not a bird it's a bee 🤔 well it wants to be a bee 😎✌️
Why do they always specify "727"? Every big block that came with an automatic had a 727, performance car or not.

I'd put some day 2 hood hinges on the thing
..there is one of these been sitting in plimmerton New Zealand for 30+ years ..red ..white interior ..6 pack ..really sad
"... it doesn't know it was born w/a 318..."
EXACTLY. Why pay more for matching numbers that were a random quirk on the factory floor?
How much?
$69,000
I had a real one with over 4k miles that I sold in 2000.
I'll drive it.
1969: The SOUND of a real American car, and not the sound of some 2020 leaf blower car!
@DFV Louderilk
Oh great. Geek boys screaming at the top of their lungs, sounding like teenage mutant girls during a 'Scream' movie. Lots of power...
@DFV Louderilk

I just don't like the kind of prices some pepole put on tribute cars cause they are not anywhere near what a real one is worth.
Only worth what someone would pay...
It was a cool car, but again Steve drank a couple of gallons of Mopar Kool-Aid.

What can I say , nice car but I'm a purist , and not a tribute car guy . With 1900 of these made , just go buy the real deal somewhere .
Not a super bee… nice clone! But not a super bee😞 dash is a dead give away that this is a regular ol coronet the air cleaner base is wrong
That's what a Tribute car is, just like it says in the description, and so does Steve.
Cool car. Get rid of those ugly yellow headlights.
You lost me at torque-flite.
