Stuck in Suspension: A Decade-Long Hiatus for This Dodge SuperBee


Ryan from the YouTube channel Auto Archaeology visits the shop of his friend Scott in Wisconsin who has a number of Mopar vehicles that he is working on. While each of the cars shown in the video is worthy of a look or two, the highlight of the video is a 1969 Dodge SuperBee that hasn’t been off a lift that it currently sits on in at least a decade.

Check out the video to see this classic Dodge, explore its current condition, and learn more about the car. If you’re interested in following the SuperBee’s eventual restoration, Scott is set to begin his own YouTube channel soon.

Before getting to the SuperBee, Ryan takes a look at a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere with a 426 wedge engine. Scott will be adding a HEMI hood scoop to the car in the process of completing the restoration to get the car finished.

The camera also pans to a project that he encourages the viewers to guess as to what vehicle it originally was. It appears it could have possibly been a Chrysler PT Cruiser that has gotten at least two of the doors removed to create a unique, smaller version of the car.

After taking a look at the shop and the vehicles in it, they take a look at the pale green 1969 Dodge SuperBee. At first glance, the car appears mostly complete and in restorable condition. The Dodge has a 383 engine with an automatic 727 transmission with console shift.

Ryan first encountered the SuperBee back in 2012 and it was sitting on the lift at that time where it remains today. This means meaning that this historic Mopar has sat on the lift for no less than 10 years.

Future Plans For The Dodge

The story is that Scott went to Detroit to get the car several years ago but has simply been too busy with other car projects to take the steps necessary to get it back up and running correctly. Underneath, there is some visible rust on the car but not so much that the car couldn’t get to a driveable condition once again.

For the moment, the Plymouth Belvedere is taking priority but the goal is to have the SuperBee on the project list soon. You will be able to find the owner of the SuperBee’s YouTube channel link in the description of the video if you’d like to see this car as it gets restored at a later date
