Danny, are you sure you didn't take it to the track, lol...here's a few other pics to reminisce about.

The Plymouth Road Runner was released first, October 1967

The Dodge Super Bee made it's appearance on February 15, 1968.

With much less 'fanfare' than the Road Runner.

Off the 'showroom floor', the 383/335 HP - 1968 'Super Bee' was pretty much
a flat '15-second' @ 95 MPH - Quarter-Mile runner.

But, a few Dealerships offered a dealer installed - "14-Second / 100 MPH Package".

For $375, the dealership would install,

* 4.10 Gears
* Hooker Headers (1 3/4" pipe x 44" length x 3" collectors)
* Special Pinion-Snubber
* Tricked up Distributor

Still have our '68 Coronet R/T. Mom bought it back in late '72. Just wish dad hadnt cut up the original hood, to put the monster scoop on, when she was racing it, back then.

Lost in the 'shuffle' of the1968 Dodge Super Bee 383/335 HP cars, was

The Coronet 500 with the 383/335 HP

Better interior, bucket seats and more chrome trim.

And a little heavier at 3530 lbs., which put you in F/Stock in 1968, where
you would have an easier time.

1968 Dodge Coronet 500 (Hardtop Coupe) with the 383/335 HP
Production Numbers.......2836 = (518 4-Speeds ) and (2218 Automatics)

Here's one of Dick Landy's '68 Coronet R/T when they did those Supercar Clinics at Chrysler dealerships back in the late 60's...

Hm,, No, I never got to take it anywhere,, after that episode. However in the 40 plus years since that day, I've had a lot of fun telling the story to friends and family. Even found one of my old snapshots from then,,, still got the hair, but I don't know where that waistline went, still looking for it.

Super Bee,

Any luck finding information on Dick Landy having a 1968 Dodge Super Bee 383 as a 'Shop Car'.

It was Raced a few times in early-1968, classed in NHRA 'E/SA', and AHRA Formula Stock.

Paul, perhaps this is the Dick Landy 1968 Coronet Super Bee you speak about. I forget where I found the photo which could provide further info because the guy who posted this picture mentioned that it was an ex-Dick Landy car that his father once owned.





UPDATE: I did a search and found the thread where I found the pictures along with further info:

alleyoopmgv: "That used to be a Dick Landy car. Cool photo! Thanks!!!!!"
