Story

1969 Dodge Super Bee 426 Hemi

This page covers the factory-built 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee ordered with the 426 CID Street Hemi V-8. The Super Bee was Dodge's lower-priced B-body performance model within the Coronet line; reference material lists the standard Super Bee equipment as the 383 high-performance V-8, heavy-duty 11-inch drum brakes, Rallye Suspension with sway bar, firm-ride shock absorbers, Power Bulge hood, Bumblebee stripes, F70 x 14 red-line wide-oval tires, and a four-speed manual transmission. For the Hemi configuration, the sourced powertrain table lists the 426 CID Hemi at 425 horsepower, with four-speed manual and three-speed TorqueFlite automatic pathways and different standard axle ratios by transmission. Because the checked source coverage is strongest for model-line equipment and weaker for factory identity markers, exact clone/fraud checks are held in coverage gaps rather than asserted. Production is reported here only as a secondary-reference figure: one source reports 166 1969 Super Bees with the 426 Hemi, while more granular body-style and transmission splits still need primary registry or factory-document confirmation.

Authenticity

  • Factory Hemi identity trail 426 Hemi identity should align with VIN, fender tag, broadcast sheet, engine and transmission stampings, and original paperwork for an individual car. · VIN plate, fender tag, broadcast sheet, engine pad, transmission stamp, axle tag, and provenance paperwork · fraud detection
  • Super Bee model-line equipment context 1969 Super Bee equipment should match the Coronet-based Super Bee performance model records before Hemi-specific claims are evaluated. · Factory literature, body tags, fender tag, broadcast sheet, and trim/equipment inspection · trim correctness
  • Transmission and rear-axle consistency Four-speed and TorqueFlite Hemi pathways should align with the sourced axle-ratio records and drivetrain evidence. · Transmission stamp, axle tag/stamp, fender tag, broadcast sheet, and service/provenance records · numbers matching

Still Researching

  • production Only a secondary aggregate by engine was found; no primary body-style or transmission breakdown was normalized.
  • interior Interior upholstery colors, trim codes, console availability by transmission, and steering wheel details were not verified from a target-specific factory trim book.
