Vehicle Description
This is one of the most desirable muscle cars you can find. The
1970 Dodge Super Bee is rare, fast, and has one of the most unique
styles to come from Detroit's days of street domination. So when
you can find one with its correct Plum Crazy paint, 51933 actual
miles, and the original 383 under the hood, you realize this is
exceptional muscle car fruit that's ripe and ready to be
picked.
The styling for 1970 was pretty unique for this one model year. The
super-hot Super Bee packaged muscle cars had a seriously mean
appearance with the wide dual grille that truly looked a bit like
bumble bee wings. These separated grilles are particularly great on
this muscle machine because they drive attention to the aggressive
dual hood scoops. Straight bodywork is especially critical on
Mopar's iconic block B-body cars, because while these were the
midsize offering, the stylists knew how to give them the look of
unflinching full-size authority. And you can see from the unbroken
curves on this one's flanks that the bodywork was done well. These
Mopars had a long list of fun and funky paint options, and arguably
none were better than this factory-correct Plum Crazy. It looks
especially great today thanks to an investment in a modern respray
that knows how to shimmer in the sunshine. But more than just the
High Impact color, this one has all the great details, such as the
Super Bee white striping, matching white roof, Mopar Mag wheels
with Goodyear Polyglas tires, and the Super Bee mascot properly
placed all around the coupe.
We love it when the exterior trim color is a preview of the
interior color. It gives a car the kind of uniform feeling that
will have plenty of people sticking their heads into this
pillarless hardtop to get a closer look. When they do, they'll see
a solid investment in getting this Dodge looking right. The driver
and passenger get high back vinyl bucket seats that are a nice
reminder that the Dodge Coronet (basis for the Super Bee) was an
all-day cruiser. The rest of the interior is fresh and clean, which
makes it all feel like a 1970s time capsule. There's plenty of wood
paneling on the center console and dash, and the factory
three-spoke steering wheel is equal parts grippy, and artful.
You've already seen those racing hood pins on the front of this
car, and you already know Super Bees only came with serious power,
so you must know that this coupe doesn't disappoint. The 383
cubic-inch big block V8 does a good job of filling every inch of
the very tidy engine bay. It's painted in the correct shade of Hemi
Orange, and as you can tell from the state of all the components,
the powerplant has had a lot of service and care. In fact, this V8
is believed to be the original motor, which always adds serious
value to this Mopars. It inhales deeply through a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority from the
newer dual exhaust. Out on the road, you have comfortable features
like power steering and a three-speed automatic to make this muscle
machine a comfortable cruiser, too.
Mopars are already some of the rarest muscle cars on the scene, and
this coupe is one of the scarcest desirable Dodges around. The
paint says, "Look at me!" but the low production numbers and
throaty exhaust screams, "You will remember me!" So don't forget to
call now!
