The designers needed an identity for the Dodge version. Dodge lead designer Harvey J Winn came up with the name Super Bee and a logo design for the Dodge "Scat Pack" Bee medallion. The first Super Bee was built on a '68 Coronet convertible. The show car was constructed at Alexander Brothers Custom Shop under Winn's instruction and was introduced at the 1968 Detroit Auto Show.
The Super Bee and the Road Runner were very similar in appearance, the Super Bee was slightly heavier by 65 lbs and ran on a 117 in wheelbase compared to the Road Runner's 116 in wheelbase. And don’t forget the famous bumble bee tail-stripe and used actual diecast chrome plated "Bee" medallions. The 3-dimensional medallions were mounted on the grille and hood area and the trunk lid taillight area of the car for the first 3 years of production.
All the niceties added to the higher purchase cost of the Super Bee compared to its Plymouth cousin and affected its sales numbers over the years. The Super Bee, like nearly all Chrysler muscle cars of that era was available with the Hemi engine, and only 125 were sold. In 1968 the Super Bee model only came as a 2-door coupe and with 2 engine options, the base 335 hp 383 Magnum, and the 426 Hemi 425 hp.
The Super Bee was outfit with a heavy-duty suspension. An option was the Mopar A-833 four-speed manual transmission, plus high-performance tires.
