You are correct, and not stock on the super bee ! also the hood on the super bee is a 68 bulge hood .

69 Super Bee's with a 440 4 barrel were not available in 69 * however, you could get a 440 six pack with lift off hood with 4 hood pins at each corner , made in fiberglass only * I noticed, this car had the Rally dash, better known as the charger dash that came in Dodge Charger that year * it also had the sport roof with no center post *

A guy I knew had a Beige 70 Torino 429 Cobra Jet and when the gears changed it would bark the tires, his brother had a Purple Super Bee with Pistol grip 4 speed. I had a yellow and black 69 Chevelle SS 396 with a Turbo 400. Another friend of mine had a beige 69 SuperBee with a 383 magnum with torqueflight And another friend had a 66 Chevelle SS with a 427 solid lifters with a Muncie behind it. And another guy had a 70 Chevelle LS6 with a 427 instead of the 454. in 1975 I was 15.

@@CarsShopsAndCollections Another friend had a 69 Z28 (The only Real Camaro) silver and black with a 427, another 16 year old had a Camaro with a 427. one more had a 69 Firebird black vinyl top, black interior, 350 2 barrel. He turned the breather over to suck more wind. And one last to tell you about a Country boy who had soft hands (Hold a oppussum by the tail and bring him in the house) and a beautiful girlfriend. Were walking down a hot country rd black top. He pulls up with a Maroon 74 Nova SS (The ones with the Big letters and trunk lift) with black interior 350 3 speed. And my friend tells him show him what it will do. I always like 283, 327's (High revving) I didnt like 350's when they first came out. He tacked up the Nova and pulled one wheel off the ground Sweet.I think that was 1974.

@@CarsShopsAndCollections My Dad rebuilt a TorqeFlight in the back yard for a guy with a 68-69 RoadRunner torqoise blue, he set up passing gear at 95MPH.

The Super Bee is 4” longer than the Road Runner and that steering wheel looks like it’s from a 70 Bee. The 69 Bee was black with the dodge emblem in the middle. I outta know I owned a 69 Bee 440/6pack /4 speed /4:10 Dana for years at 18 years old.
