Hi Wayne, Happy to read you're a great Caretaker of your cool car :-) Hope you're behind the wheel of the 68 you've been dreaming about soon! Thank you for viewing, sharing and I believe you're going to see many more cars on this Channel you'll enjoy. Hope you Subscribe, and hit the "bell" so you can see all the cars when they are uploaded on this CZcams Channel, Lou
I love this car. "I just like the style." Me too. A Coronet was what i wanted when a '69 Charger came out of nowhere in '77. This Super Bee is perfect,,,,right drive train, color, wheels and tires.
'68 is my favorite year for all things Mopar. My mom's aunt(my great aunt?) bought a '68 Dart GTS brand new(I was 3) and I always remembered how everything was metal and chrome and sturdy to the touch. Compared to today's cars, it actually seemed hand-made. Still cracks me up, a 60+ year old woman with a 340, 4 BBL, floor-shifted Torque-Flite equipped GTS Dart. :-)
Wow Lou! Just a awesome Super Bee! Love the color! I was just ten years old when these came out. I do remember them as a kid! I would to be her boy friend! With all those neat rides she has and I bet the others are awesome too. Just love those Mopars! Thanks for sharing Lou!
Rarity indeed. What a Mopar Lou what a Mopar factory clean even better than factory. You always know how to make viewers Mopar happy or Contento parlare Italiano pogotino. Going back to our primary carburetor thanks Lou.
What a fantastic car and owner Lou. Thank Patty for sharing her beautiful car with us. This one really brings back memories for me, my first car was a 68 Coronet 440, which was a deluxe trim package. Of all the cars I've owned, that's the one I wish I could have back the most. Thanks for sharing Lou! Have a fantastic day!
Lou, thanks for documenting these classics. Oddly, your videos with all of the detail that you show helps a ton when building the plastic model versions.
Samiches Do you build models? I do. I've got a good many. In fact, I just posted videos recently on my channel of a number of them, including a '69 Super Bee similar in color to this one. You should come over and check it out. You know how to get there, right? Just tap on my profile pic?
Hey lou, back from a 5 strip race vacation and come back to this grear vid and car. As always, like most of us we really appreciate the work you put into with this channel and finding these beautiful cars. Thanks Lou!!!
Lou Costabile Thanks Lou. Always fun when i can take a couple weeks and go racing at tracks/DRAG strips i have never been to!! You have one of my favorite channels. You show cars front to back and do it in a classy way and somehow find these great cars all the time.
Wow, amazing 🐝 bee. The 1968s were just beautiful. Rare paint engine color. My grandpa had a 65 new Yorker with a 413 wedge motor painted that color. Only other Mopar I've seen with that color engine. Imagine buying this new in 68 for like $3100. Lol

I always go to the Carlisle show...hundreds of awesome cars and they even have a car corral where one can buy your own Mopar machine.... The 383 and the Bee go together like peaches and cream.... 😎👍
This has to be one of the most understated and 'sensible' muscle cars they ever made. Although I would agonize over the color choice, this is exactly the way I would spec it.
Lou, This beautiful Super Bee has the "sensible" 383 4 Barrel as opposed to an excessive 440 or, heaven forbid, Hemi. I wonder if you could pass it off it as an ordinary Coronet for insurance purposes ;)

Very sweet car. Love the tail lights on a 68 Cornet/Super Bee, they are in my top five. Also love the marker lights on Mopar B bodies from 68. One of my favorite small items on the Mopars is the little light on/under the dash that lights up when you have the car in reverse. I might be a bit biased as I am putting together a 68 Roadrunner but I dig all cars. Keep up the great work Lou.
Love Super Bees! The Bee icon and tail lights are especially cool. I love the 4-speed stick shift - but sadly I can never own one. I got a trick left knee and when it goes out - it makes shifting gears impossible. (no long rambling today - my brain had a flat)
Right Lane Hog - WHOOPS! Thank you for drawing my attention to that. I use my left leg to clutch - LoL. I corrected it just now. I hate it when I have brain farts. :-)

Hi Donald, I'm not an engine expert so I'm not sure, however I'll guess the internals are strengthened, larger cam, and produce more HP. Hoping a Viewer with more knowledge can share, Lou
Odd that she spent all that effort getting the papers and pamphlets for specifically the 68 Bee but has the valve covers and heater hose bracket from the 69, the spacing of "DODGE" on the grille is too close, and 68 didn't have any superbee emblems other than the striping, that started in 69.

It's 2023, I have owned a 1970 Super Bee for 40 years. I have always dreamed of owning a '68 and this one is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!! KUDOS 👍👍👍

Hi g mat, Glad you love this one :-) Lou
Nice & clean and definitely rare! I'm w/Patty on the lines being blurred between 'wants vs. needs' again! Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Glad you enjoy this rare one :-) You're welcome, Lou

Hi 05gtdriver, Glad to read your favorite is a 68 :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, your story too Lou
05gtdriver, Compared to today's cars, that 68 Dart was handmade.
I had a 70 500 in college that was badass and reliable and now I have a 66 383 727 Charger that I love but 68 is my favorite year for Coronets.
I almost fell over when you politely said, "My we open the trunk?" Such progress to full gentleman status!
I'm learning BobEckert56 :-)
Lou Costabile soon you'll be as classy as the cars you present! 😉
Prophecy :-)
Wow Lou! Just a awesome Super Bee! Love the color! I was just ten years old when these came out. I do remember them as a kid! I would to be her boy friend! With all those neat rides she has and I bet the others are awesome too. Just love those Mopars! Thanks for sharing Lou!

Hi Robert Lee, Happy to read this one brings back nice memories for you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Lou Costabile, It sure does Lou. I had to watch it again on my tablet when I got home.
Feel free to watch it again and again :-)
My first car was 1968 Dodge Coronet. I understand Patty completely.
Good memories :-)
Big fan of Super Bee's too, especially four speed models. Love your bang too, looks great!

Fabulous woman, fabulous collection, fabulous Super Bee.
Happy to read this one is "Fabulous" all the way around :-)
This has to be one of the most understated and 'sensible' muscle cars they ever made. Although I would agonize over the color choice, this is exactly the way I would spec it.

Hi Shady Jake, "Top 5" NICE :-) Lou
nice lou.
:-)
I loved this car when I was a teen. Just couldn't afford one at minimum wage. @ 6:40 that was called a tic-toc-tach !
Glad this is a Winner for you, and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Love Super Bees! The Bee icon and tail lights are especially cool. I love the 4-speed stick shift - but sadly I can never own one. I got a trick left knee and when it goes out - it makes shifting gears impossible. (no long rambling today - my brain had a flat)
Hi ImTheDaveman, Share you "Love Super Bees!" is good enough for me :-) Automatic is fun too, Lou
You use your right leg to operate the clutch pedal?
Right Lane Hog - WHOOPS! Thank you for drawing my attention to that. I use my left leg to clutch - LoL. I corrected it just now. I hate it when I have brain farts. :-)

Sounds like a wonderful car SuperJoes70 :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
She is a cutie pie

What's the difference between a 383 and 383 stroker?
Hi Donald, I'm not an engine expert so I'm not sure, however I'll guess the internals are strengthened, larger cam, and produce more HP. Hoping a Viewer with more knowledge can share, Lou

Winner!
Btw, the Super Bee and Road Runner were similar cars, Dodge being the top brand. So why is the Road Runner the more popular and the Super Bee treated like the stepchild? Answer: marketing.
20alphabet Well, I think "image" had a lot to do with it, too. Everybody can agree that "Road Runner" conjures up images of speed, while "Super Bee", somewhat less so.
Might it have something to do with the fact that more people are allergic to bees than to Roadrunners?
Cool you don't have many women on your vids
Nice when I find a Car Gal :-)
Damn, she has a real attitude problem.
She only has an attitude problem with people who say "Damn, she has a real attitude problem" :-)
With all due respect, it appeared she had one with you. Did you see the way she kept rolling her eyes in the beginning of the video?
poeople need to stop making trailer queens out of nice cars like that and actually drive them....
Hi Joshua, I like driving them too. Did you see today's video? Here is the link, Lou czcams.com/video/-OZMU4rHXw8/video.html
