Heavens Mopars takes a look at this 1969 Dodge Super Bee which is one of the cleanest examples of an all-original classic muscle car.
Heavens Mopars is a new YouTube channel created "for our love of Mopar" according to hosts Scott and Austin. In the video description, he commendably tells us that he does his best to save the classic cars and trucks, especially those destined for the crusher.
Their latest video upload showcases a car that belongs nowhere near a crusher. A fully untouched 1969 Dodge Super Bee A12 which our host compares to being better than a Barn Find.

Our presenter jumps right into naming off some of the parts of this classic '69 Super Bee beauty. He tells us that it packs a Magnum 7.2-liter V8 with double barrels, which mates to a four-speed manual transmission. By the 37-second mark, we can take a look at the engine bay which is fully exposed due to the lack of a hood. However, the owner Darren tells us he has it at home.
It's all incredibly well maintained and exactly as it was in 1969. The valve covers and air filter don the same red paint as the exterior. We're also told that the car "has a little base model in it" as it does not have power steering or disc brakes.
According to the owner, the lack of modern amenities such as power steering or discs is not a problem. The host states "bricks just go fast" to which the owner laughs out of the agreement. They continue discussing saying the only options that you could really get on these vehicles was "possibly a premium interior". This is not to say the interior is anything other than perfect, which we see at the 1:50 mark. The fully black interior shows no signs of aging, cracking leather, or sun-dried dash panels.

By the 3:50 mark, we find out that the only replaced parts are the battery, wheels, and spark plug wires. Everything else is perfectly maintained. Darren knows this as a fact because the only other owner was his father who always kept the car stored in the most ideal conditions.
The end of the video sees the owner start up the vehicle for us. The car purs like a kitten says Scott who has been recording the whole video. The car drives off rumbling and gurgling its American V8 noise.
