    69 Super Bee's with a 440 4 barrel were not available in 69 * however, you could get a 440 six pack with lift off hood with 4 hood pins at each corner , made in fiberglass only * I noticed, this car had the Rally dash, better known as the charger dash that came in Dodge Charger that year * it also had the sport roof with no center post *

    The Super Bee is 4” longer than the Road Runner and that steering wheel looks like it’s from a 70 Bee. The 69 Bee was black with the dodge emblem in the middle. I outta know I owned a 69 Bee 440/6pack /4 speed /4:10 Dana for years at 18 years old.
