My FH5 Log: The Coronet Super Bee

Obtained from the FH5 Series 9 Dry Season Playlist, the ancient Dodge Coronet Super Bee is one of the standout cars from the golden age of muscle cars.


Unveiled in 1968, the Coronet Super Bee is basically a Dodge version of the Plymouth Roadrunner which is priced at the lower end of its class. Under the hood, the Coronet Super Bee is powered by a choice of either a 6.8L V8, a 7.2L V8, or the range-topping 425HP 7.0L HEMI V8 engine mated to a Mopar 4-speed manual gearbox.


With a quick introduction done, let's give this ancient Coronet Super Bee a driving experience it will never forget and with that, I bravely decided to drive it on a dirt track with the other muscle cars. It won't be easy but this should be fairly exciting for me. Roll the tape.


Mud, sweat, and gears, ladies and gentlemen. Looks like the Coronet barely survived the muddy torture of the dirt track and left home with scars and bruises to show.

Enjoy your new ride!
