Poll: Which '68? (3/7/2026)

Excellent comparo, John! I'll go with the Merc. For one thing, I don't like the street tractability of the Hemi. It was an awesome V8, but problematic for day-to-day driving. The other factor, for me is the fastback styling of the Merc. It is just so sixties! I love it. Fastback was to the sixties what fins were to the fifties. 

With no hesitation, I pick the DODGE.  I'm on the other side of "fastback" styling, I'm not a fan at all.  And this Dodge in yellow is a winner!

Dodge please.  The hood scopes were not available in '68 and the 383 was the standard engine in the '68 Super Bee. And other than the Mustang I dislike fastbacks.

I'm with JK on this one.  Fastback styling was all the rage in the late '60's and this Cyclone wears it so well.

I had the previous version of the Merc, a 1967 Cyclone GT. It was fast but quite problematic. So, even though I have not heard of this particular comic book hero, I'm going with Super Bee!!

Super Bee for me but neither really excite me.

What Bob said.

Super Bee as well. Especially with the 440. 🤑

Dodge please....

@jkuvakas +1 Mercury please John.

Great color for the time period on the dodge which gets my vote.  I do like the shape of the Mercury but too much like the Torino.

@geno  The 440 cu. in. engine was not available in the '68 Super Bee, 383 or 426 only. '68 for the 440 you had to get the R/T for the HP 440. Or get a '69 Bee you could get a 440 & the hood scoops.

The Bee.

I prefer the styling of the Super Bee.  I do like the fastback styling on some marques of this era, but for example, the notchback roof style of the late 60s  Torino appeals more to me than the fastback.
