1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee

When admiring this clean 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee, it's hard not to acknowledge one's inner Steve McQueen. Even sitting still, the car looks like a weapon. And thankfully, the Chrysler Corporation knew better than to give it big scoops, aggressive nomenclature and cool cartoon graphics without adding some serious firepower. That said; the terms 'numbers-matching', 'Magnum' and 'Six Pack' aren't the only indicators of this coupe's market success. And, if you're looking for an ultimate piece of Detroit metal that shows just as well as it tears up the road, this freshly restored Dodge is precisely the opportunity you've been waiting for!

Speaking of opportunity, it's believed that only 599 1970 Super Bee hardtops donned this car's brash Six Pack powertrain. That means this brassy classic is a factory-accurate rarity among muscle cars that are already highly exclusive. Here's a detailed breakdown of the broadcast sheets that are included with our sale.

The beneficiary of a frame-off, rotisserie restoration that was completed by Kohrs Kustoms in Myerstown, Pennsylvania, this Coronet currently presents much better than it did when leaving Chrysler's storied Lynch Road manufacturing facility. That $144K reboot began when the car's intimidating body was stripped all the way to bare metal. That fully revealed foundation was complemented with a new trunk pan and fresh quarter panels. That solid fuselage was bathed in a smooth and glossy coat of PPG Deltron two-stage, which reflects correct code W1 White. And today, the car rolls as a conservative take on one of the best years of outrageous Mopar motoring.

Thanks to a lot of money spent and a lot of bolts turned, this classic's crisp gaps and spectacular panel alignment could make a modern muscle car blush. At the front of the coupe's body, a dramatic 'bumble bee wing' grille hangs clear headlights and a blocky "DODGE" script between small parking lamps and a centered Super Bee emblem. At the sides of that grille, multi-faceted panels are detailed with a chrome driver's mirror, Chrysler door handles, dent-free wheel frames and bold Super Bee call-outs. Above those panels, a Ramcharger hood anchors bright "440" emblems in front of like-new glass that's cleared by satin wipers, framed by mirrored stainless and capped by fresh black vinyl. And opposite that hood, a Dodge-stamped valence hangs a second Super Bee emblem between traditional tail lights, a broad bumper and polished stainless exhaust tips.

Yank this Dodge's correct hood pins and you'll find an original, 440 cubic inch RB V8 that hangs a matching partial VIN below a correct 2536430-9 casting number and August 5th, 1969 casting date. At the top of that 390 horsepower monster, a correct trio of Holley carburetors rides within a giant, Hemi Orange air cleaner. At the base of those carburetors, a correct Edelbrock intake hangs between correct heads and traditional, stamped steel valve covers. At the front of those valve covers, a reliable points distributor shoots spark through Chrysler Electronic Suppression cables. And at the sides of that distributor, iron exhaust manifolds funnel spent gases into great sounding, true-dual tail pipes. Aesthetically, this Coronet's bright white engine bay is exceptionally impressive, from its correctly placed decals and old school washer tank all the way to its correct squeeze clamps and purple carburetor spring. And a great combination of new and reproduction pieces ensure the car's operation is both reliable and fun, with items like a correct radiator, a Mopar red cap battery and a Chrysler-branded voltage regulator making sure every mile is safely traveled.

Land this Bee on a lift and a nicely detailed undercarriage that's complete with glossy, over-restored floorpans rises into view. At the center of those pans, an original A833 4-speed hangs a matching partial VIN over an A833 (PP833) built on October 11th, 1969 (2997) assembly stamp. That proven gear slinger applies power to a rugged Dana 60 rear end, which spins a posi-traction differential around correct 3.54 gears. Below that proven drivetrain, an extra heavy duty Hemi suspension has been completely rebuilt to include a correct sway bar, correct leaf springs and power front disc and rear drum brakes. Steering, like those brakes, is power-assisted, providing a modern level of safety. Exhaust is handled by 2.5-inch, free-flowing tail pipes that jettison cooked dinosaurs through an H-style crossover, Chrysler-branded mufflers and correct stainless tips. Power flows to the pavement via 14-inch steel wheels, which spin authentic looking F70-14 Goodyear Speedway Wide Treads around clean paint and dent-free center caps. And naturally, the car's correctly tagged and fully sorted undercarriage is rounded out by new fluid lines and a fresh stainless fuel tank.

Open this coupe's big, solid doors and sit down inside a cockpit where legendary Mopar power melds seamlessly with a no frills, no-nonsense driving environment. At the center of the car's floors, firm bench seats have been stuffed with fresh padding and topped with correctly pleated covers. In front of those seats, an expertly restored dash frames rebuilt factory telemetry between a tic-toc tachometer and Chrysler Solid State audio. At the sides of that dash, fresh door panels hang new armrests under bright stainless trim and glossy black toppers. At the bottom of those panels, like-new carpet centers thick Super Bee floor mats on a Hurst Pistol Grip shifter. In front of the driver, a large-diameter steering wheel spins a monochromatic, fratzog-branded horn button around a fully rebuilt column. And behind the passengers, the car's professionally restored trunk is complete all the way down to its plaid mat, matching space tire and fresh decklid decal.
