Thanks for the offer. I'm most interested in a '69 Bee or R/T. Thanks though.

I agree I have been doing some serious shopping for a B myself and there are several very nice Bs out there for less than 50K.

I believe it appeared during the ‘68 MY. When they went to the Hurst shifter, it didn’t have a triggered lockout. Hence the reverse light on the dashboard. I’m not certain of the exact date but... somewhere around March 1968.
According to "GG" decode on my RR,
Hurst shifter and reverse light began on 15 Feb '68.
It's on my car with an SBD March 22, 1968
Doesn't mean gospel but ....

Thanks for the heads up. The car was recently sold.

Interesting. I’ve never seen a ‘68 Coronet with the N96 hood. It didn’t get that code until ‘69. Maybe that car is like the “68” Charger 500. The only one made.

In 68 there were no N96 hoods...

The link showed a pic of a ‘68 with the fresh air hood. It reminded me of the ‘68 Hemi Charger 500.

Few I found this evening....
Here's a real 69 R/T...440/4spd/dana...$59,000 I would have preferred if they had left it T3 with the Saddle interior, but looks decent enough with a few things that I would probably want to grind them on the price for.

I like this 69 Bee...love the F8 Green over green but not sure why the $78K asking price for a swapped in 440/auto...I'd say it's more of a >$50K car IMHO.

Thanks! Much appreciated. I missed some of these
69 R/T

That sure is a nice car, but for that price point, a real and documented 1969 restored 4 speed R/T could be yours. They're out there for sure. Be patient and non-emotional and the right car will fall into your lap, like mine did. Good Luck!

It’s a fake, someone is trying to scam you or anybody else they can.
No N96 codes and no fender tag it’s not a “one off”. Suppose it was N96 and real with tags..still NOT a $63k car because of that! Does not translate to crazy big buck money.
Coronet 500’s are nice cars in their own right and yes you could get one with 383 and 4spd.
Why anybody would bastardize one like this is beyond me because for $63k or less you can get a much more desirable REAL Super Bee or R/T.
Even right and show condition fully documented, numbers & tags this is only a $25k car at best.

Also, 330 horse has no “HP” stamp but does have HP exhaust manifolds.
I agree that the build sheet is a fake. That's a 53 year old piece of paper that wasn't meant to last this long. There is only one spring mark on it. This is mine. Notice the tatered edges and browning commensurate with age.
