That’s what happened to Ryan Brutt from the YouTube channel Auto Archeology on his drive home to Wisconsin recently. When passing by a stranger’s garage, Ryan noticed a 1969 Dodge Super Bee and a 1969 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds, both of which need a good wash but are in near-perfect condition.

A Super Bee That Stayed In The Hive

The 1969 Dodge Super Bee was an affordable yet respectably fast muscle car option in its time. Its name comes from the B-platform it shared with the Plymouth Road Runner and the Dodge Charger. The Super Bee was slightly heavier and longer than the Road Runner, and the same 6.3-liter Magnum V8 engine powered both cars.

This Super Bee, along with the Hurst/Olds, has spent some thirty years undriven in its owner’s garage and is well-preserved under all the dust. It’s got a great color scheme; red exterior, black top, and white interior. The rally gauge cluster is still intact, and someone replaced the original Mopar four-speed transmission with a version that’s a year older. But, as Ryan shows us, its garage-mate can’t help but overshadow the Dodge.

The Uncovered Hurst/Olds

In the mid-1960s, Hurst shifters became a popular option in the Oldsmobile 442. The car manufacturer followed up the concept to create a high-performance, special hand-built edition of its Cutlass, the Hurst/Olds. This car comes equipped with a Hurst Dual Gate shifter, which is a precursor to today’s manumatic transmissions.

Oldsmobile lifted the massive 7.5-liter Rocket V8 engine from its Toronado and dropped it into the Hurst/Olds, giving it 380 hp, 500 lb-ft of torque, and a blazing 0-60 mph record of 5.6 seconds. It also happened to look very cool with its dual exhaust system, “mailbox” fiberglass hood scoop, blacked-out grille, and functional rear wing.

So we hope that Ryan is able to convince the owner of these two awesome muscle cars to bring one of them to a local Mopar club meeting. After all, why shouldn’t he share these handsome classic cars with the rest of the world?
