Another vaguely-described offering from the same consignor as the ’69 Hemi ‘Bee shown above, the vehicle description card for this beautiful 1970<br />
Hemi Super Bee (lot 1327.1) read; “It was far too rare and far too valuable to modify, so it was restored to great condition. We have a copy of certificate<br />
of title and copy of restoration receipts from Aloha Automotive. We also have the original build sheet from Chrysler”. The WM23R0 VIN sequence leaves<br />
no doubt but the seller’s vague description is a little unnerving. It sold for $90,200.<br />
Lot 658, this ’68 WM21H Super Bee sedan rolls on incorrect 1969 wheels<br />
(Magnum 500s for ’68 should have chrome plated wheel hoops, not the<br />
stainless trim rings adopted in 1969). Besides that, this 383 automatic car<br />
was stunning and well restored, selling for $22,550 when the hammer fell.<br />

1968 was the final year for blue engine paint on the base 383 Super Bee<br />
mill; the color was changed to orange for ’69. The 727 Torqueflite is about<br />
the only convenience item on this manual steering, manual 11-inch drum<br />
brake sedan. All 7,844 Super Bees built in 1968 were pillar-coupes. Like<br />
the orange engine paint, the pillar-less WM23 hardtop body option didn’t<br />
arrive until 1969.
