The original Dodge Super Bee was based on which Dodge model?

The original Dodge Super Bee was based on the Dodge Coronet.

Dodge introduced the Super Bee for the 1968 model year as a lower-priced muscle car and a companion to Plymouth’s successful Road Runner. The original version used the two-door Coronet body and Chrysler’s B-body platform, making it a close corporate relative of several other mid-size performance cars.

The Super Bee shared the Road Runner’s basic mission—strong performance at an accessible price—but Dodge gave it its own styling, including a distinctive bumblebee stripe, bee emblems, and a different grille and rear treatment. It also used a heavier-duty suspension and could be ordered with engines such as the 383 Magnum, 440 Six Pack, and 426 Hemi.

The name “Super Bee” refers to Chrysler’s B-body designation, not to the vehicle being based on a model called the Bee. The original Coronet-based version ran from 1968 through 1970; later Super Bee uses and Mexican-market cars followed different formulas.
