The letter X has always been shrouded in mystery, like a secret agent with a penchant for fast cars. Today, we’re taking a joyride back to 1967, a time when Plymouth decided to sprinkle some magic dust on just 10 Belvedere GTX convertibles, stuffing them with a 426 Hemi V8 engine. Picture it: this beauty roaring down the road, turning heads faster than a teenager spotting their crush. It’s a rare gem, the unicorn of muscle cars, with just enough X-factor to make James Bond envious.
In a twist of automotive fate, a grandfather-grandson duo embarked on a humorous journey, transforming a 1976 Dodge Aspen R/T into a rare Mexican Super Bee clone. Trading an old Dodge truck for the project, they navigated the quirky world of Mopar enthusiasts, guided by a fellow fan, Matt. With unique parts sourced from Mexico, including a Valiant hood badge from Carlos, they christened their creation “Elvira.” Now, with gratitude and a touch of whimsy, they revel in their one-of-a-kind Super Bee adventure.
In 1969, Dodge revved up the Coronet with the “Super-Bee” on the Chrysler B-body platform, sharing some sibling rivalry with the Charger. Mid-year, they dropped the A12 package like a mic, featuring a roaring 440 engine with a six-pack carburetor setup, a lift-off fiberglass hood, and metal pins that scream “don’t mess with me.” This one-year wonder also flaunts heavy-duty suspension and 15-inch wheels, making it the muscle car equivalent of a gym bro on wheels. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the eye candy!
