1969 super-bee fastest american muscle cars

The Super Bee makes the fastest American muscle cars list for one reason… engine size. Okay, well maybe engine size and speed. The muscle car made by Dodge was produced for a few years from the late 60s to the early 70s. It was recently resurrected in the mid to late 2000s and ran all the way up until 2013. However this model is the classic rendition of what we think of when we hear the term Super Bee. The car was heavy, even for a four speed manual. However, you could choose to outfit the engine with a base 335 hp 383 Magnum engine or upgrade to the 426 Hemi rated at an astonishing 425 hp. This difference meant you were going to pay for the speed that came along with the Hemi option. Choosing the 426 increased the price of the vehicle by 33%. That’s right, the entire cost of the car increased by one third. Thus, only 125 of the Hemi options were sold. Still though, if you can find one than you have a true piece of American muscle car history. Classic Super Bees are rare, that’s why we love them.
