For Sale: 1970 Dodge Coronet in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1970 Dodge Coronet Superbee 2 Door Hardtop

"The first generation Dodge Super Bee, produced from 1968-70, was a beefed up incarnation of the fifth generation Coronet two door coupe. The "Super Bee" moniker derived from its "B" body platform that it shared with the Dodge Charger and the Plymouth Road Runner. Once the Road Runner posted impressive sales figures, the Dodge designers received a request to come up with a low priced Dodge muscle car. Senior designer Harvey Winn a new window received credit for the Super Bee name and the logo with the "Scat Back" Bee medallion." Goldeagle.com

For consignment, a 1970 Dodge Coronet Superbee 2 door hardtop showing 59,663 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a title exemption. This true V-code example checks all the boxes and although the redesign was polarizing at the time, Dodge still managed to sell more than 15,000 Superbees with the hardtop being the most common.

Exterior
Now donning a two stage application of the original color, it is the butterfly wing design of the front bumper that grabs your attention on this Dark Burnt Orange Metallic ride, independent chrome corals that frame the grille and dual round headlights. From there, it's the N96 "fresh air" hood that will have you moving right, lest you be scooped up into the intake of this beastly muscle car. In profile, the eye candy only increases with a brown gator grain vinyl top, white Bumble Bee tail stripe, and 15-inch Mopar Rallye wheels with letters out tires. Out back, horizontal tail lights reflect the front shape in a more understated fashion and connect with a white detail on the latch panel. Imperfections include chips in the rubber bumper filler, various paint chips and scratches and many are touched up, and scratches in the glaze of several windows.

Interior
Its official Burnt Orange on the inside beginning with the handsome door panels, a chrome trimmed cacophony of vertical patterning framed in body colored metal, both presenting in excellent condition. The split bench seat up front is stitched grain vinyl and along with the rear bench, appears showroom fresh. This fine spec includes a 3 spoke steering wheel ahead of a woodgrain faced instrument cluster that puts the clock and 150mph speedometer offset to the left of the column, and condition gauges to the right. The wood warmly continues over the width of the dash, taking in an AM radio along the way. Our shifter is on the column which leaves the floor open and covered in black carpet while the headliner and visors above adopts the burnt orange theme and all of it is immaculate. A rubber mat covers the perfectly painted floor of the trunk.

Drivetrain
Super clean and ready for show and go is the rebuilt 1966 440ci V8 under the hood with a six pack providing the fuel. It's mated to an A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission from 1977 which routes power to the 8 � -inch rear axle with SureGrip. The engine has headers attached and power steering is provided.

Undercarriage
The clean party continues on the underside where the dual exhaust intersect with electrical cutouts just before an X-pipe, then finally reaches a pair of Pypes mufflers, then out the back via chrome oval tips. Disc brakes are supplied to all four wheels and suspension consists of torsion bars up front and leaf springs in back.

Drive-Ability
Even through the mufflers, the 440 provides a sweet exhaust note as we wheel this legendary B-body onto the test loop where it exhibits healthy acceleration, straight tracking, and satisfactory braking. The brakes lights work if you jiggle the switch under the dash, but the reverse lights do not illuminate. We hear the horn relay click, but no honk accompanies it. All other functions on this fine Mopar operate as they should, including the epic fender mounted turn signals. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

If you've followed the adventures of Roadkill Garage and David Freiburger over the years, you already know his first car was a 1970 Superbee that he still owns. Back in the 80's, he bought it for $1,800 but that was a long time ago and the value and desirability of B-body Mopars has increased exponentially. We have a fantastic example here at the mall and will reserve a bit of envy for the next owner of this great car.
