We're looking at a 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee in B5 Blue Paint. The car comes with the factory 426 CI Hemi engine.
The car's Owner is Paul Veney Sr.. Paul’s had this car since 1998. He shares he always wanted a “Hemi Car”, however never thought he’d have one. While right here at Carlisle he saw this one for sale and purchased the car.

[@Hannahveney1]

Seeing this car everyday makes me happy that we own a piece of history. (I'm Paul's daughter.)

[@loucostabile]

Hi Hannah, Glad this car makes you happy. It makes me happy too :-) Thank your Dad for sharing his car with me, and all the other "Car People" who enjoy this KZbin Channel. How did you like the interview with Dad? Lou

[@Hannahveney1]

I liked it. I actually learned a few things that he never told me.

[@loucostabile]

Nice :-)

[@JeffKing310]

Besides the cars, I always like the owners in these videos. The knowledge, appreciation and love often comes through to make them My Car Story. Your dad was great in the interview.

[@jeffreykuenster7501]

Beautiful, So glad this car has been saved and put back to stock, Sweet and Totally Cherry. Thank You, Paul Veney Sr. for saving this piece of Mopar history.

[@loucostabile]

Glad you think this one is "beautiful" jeff kuenster :-) Lou

[@jeffreykuenster7501]

You bet Lou Costabile, Really enjoy your channel, and really enjoy your videos with Tom Lembeck, and his Mopar collection.

[@neverspreadjamonabadjer8459]

What a gorgeous 426 Super Bee!!! Paul comes across as a genuinely nice guy too. Hope he's still in good health enjoying life with his beautiful Hemi.

[@ImTheDaveman]

I'm in love with this Super Bee! A triad of Wows sent forth without hesitation! I had completely forgotten about this car. I haven't seen any Super Bees on the road in all of forever it feels like, not since the 70s. I miss the 70s - gawd I miss the 70s! Magnificent cars all throughout and good times. Lots a rubber left burning on the road, gorgeous girls, some great burgers, quality TV shows, peculiar but great movies - and OH! The Rock and Rolla! The 70s has gotta come back into style eventually. Did I say I love the 70s? I know - I was being so evasive it was hard to tell. Thanx for the time trip down memory avenue! Excellent car!!!!

[@loucostabile]

Hi ImTheDaveman, High praise for the car & the hope for the return of the 70's :-) Lou

[@20alphabet]

Because of the front grille treatment, these weren't as popular as other years. But I always liked them.

[@loucostabile]

Glad you like this one 20alphabet :-) Lou

[@metalmopars]

This is my favorite car ever built. Who ever designed the 70 Superbee/Coronet was a genius. Also the 68 Charger.

[@20alphabet]

john first Yeah, I always thought the the bumper actually framing the grille, and split like that, was a pretty ingenious concept.

[@JeffKing310]

It’s a very cool look

[@pdiz]

Because of the front grille treatment, this was my FAVORITE year B-Body over any Road Runner or Charger. I've owned two of them, and hope one day to own this year once again. Until then, my life's not complete. Sad, but true.

[@soxfunny98]

That is one gorgeous car. May be one of the top 2 you have ever shown and you show the best on You Tube.

[@loucostabile]

High praise Dave Hanley :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing a comment that makes me happy, Glad you enjoy this one, Lou

[@chuckhaugan4970]

Yup! In 81, my brother's best friend had bought a 70 Bee, 383 Mag, and garaged it. The car has 20K on it and he was the second owner.... But I remember telling his what an ugly POS he'd bought. LOL! the things 13 yr olds say, with no filter. Now I look at it and see something so unique. I mean even the big Chryslers of the mid 60's look way better then they did when I was a kid!

[@canusakommando9692]

Lou that was a true super car when we were young. It is priceless to the one that gets to love her. Wow .. Thanks Lou another pricless example of Americana. I noticed it was made in Windsor. Nice. Actually a beauty Canadian thing there eh.

[@loucostabile]

Hi CANUSA Kommando, Glad you enjoy this "priceless example of Americana" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@rightlanehog3151]

CK, I could not find the reference to made in Windsor.

[@Trendsetta68]

❤❤❤ that Hemi idle is music for the soul ! 😇👍🏼

[@loucostabile]

I agree :-)

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Very nice, very clean, & very rare. Lou, you've done it again. Thanks for another great one for all of us to see!

[@Moparmaga-1]

Hello Lou I know last time when you were interviewing the hemi orange 71 charger r/t I said it was the best mopar but here is a mopar God. You lucky 🐕

[@loucostabile]

High praise :-)

[@tomtbi]

I remember seeing a story on this car in Hemmings Muscle Machines a few years back...

[@loucostabile]

Hi Thomas Barnard, Happy to read you've seen this car in print. Better on video? Lou

[@tomtbi]

I'd say so... Those Hemis sound great!!

[@larryspeicher5771]

👍👍 I really appreciate how hard Paul works to keep his Hemi Super Bee in pristine condition. He is a lucky guy to have & keep such a potent Mopar. Way to go Paul...Glad I didnt try street racing you😀

[@loucostabile]

Hi Larry, Happy to read you enjoy the condition of this car :-) Lou

[@chrisformato837]

I remember seeing that car in the corral at Carlisle when it was for sale in 97 or 98..I have pictures of it at the show ever year it's been there...thanks for making and posting this video Lou!!😁

[@loucostabile]

Hi Chris Formato, Glad to read I'm sharing one you enjoy :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@thinkmopar]

How much was it for sale for back in the 90's?

[@chrisformato837]

thinkmopar I dug out my photo album it was 98 it's a bad picture the for sale sign is leaning on the core support but I can't read the price sorry

[@Vinylguy22]

Omg that’s my mom in the pink shirt in the thumbnail!

[@loucostabile]

Hope she enjoyed the car show today.

[@Vinylguy22]

Lou Costabile she and I both did!

[@edb.3313]

One of my favorites for sure and what a great Bee it is!! :-)

[@loucostabile]

Glad Ed B you enjoy this Bee :-)

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Hey Lou. Awesome looking car. I've always liked old-school Mopar cars. I love the blue body with the black roof. I love the Super Bee.

[@loucostabile]

Hey Jason, Glad you enjoy this "awesome looking car" :-) Lou

[@jasoncarpp7742]

I've heard of Carlisle Events. But because I live on the other side of the country from Pennsylvania, and unless I know someone who lives anywhere in Pennsylvania, I have never had any reason to visit.

[@jamesblair9614]

Yeah, I sure remember what a shock the redesign of the front end was, but after a while, I really came to view it as quite beautiful, judged on it’s own merits.

[@loucostabile]

Hi James, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Cars have an amazing way of looking better with age, Lou

[@71superbee39]

Another super cool Bee from the hive .. and nice cap, Paul ..😎👍

[@loucostabile]

Hi 71superbee 3, NICE! Lou

[@loucostabile]

Hi 71superbee 3, NICE! Lou

[@vernrosquites5998]

Another GREAT and SPECTACULAR muscle car WOW! BEAUTIFUL body with its Renown - HEMI Engine, love the pistol shifter, Very Interesting Super Bee, SUPER Engine block, very Clean, wirings are pretty organized. MARVELOUS Engine rev.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Vern, High praise for this car :-) Lou

[@robertlee9395]

What a sweet Coronet Lou. My first car was a 68 Coronet 440, which was a deluxe package, 318, roll down rear windows, am radio and 727 Torqueflite and 8 and 3/4 rear end. All it needed was a 440 to be a Bee! Lol. Love that rare Hemi Lou, keep these videos coming!

[@loucostabile]

You had a NICE first car. Thank you for sharing Robert Lee, Lou

[@robertlee9395]

Lou Costabile , Oh how I miss that car! Of all the cars I've owned, that's the one I want back the most, that and the 74 Coupe De'vielle. It had every thing but the sun roof! What a sweet ride! Have a fantastic day!

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

Front side and back the 70 coronet was a beautiful car. This one is awesome. I see Paul is a Vietnam veteran. Welcome home sir. Salute

[@loucostabile]

Hi FUBAR Model Yard, High praise for the looks of this car :-) Lou

[@nicks7768]

Even at a show like Chrysler nationals, this bad boy is special. Spectacular car.

[@loucostabile]

Well said :-)

[@FrankieKuntheDisneyHater2001]

I like how this car looks like a Charger combined with a 73 Oldsmobile Delta 88 😃👍

[@dannymyers5345]

Lou Costabile I wished they still made them like this

[@Benicio_Fols]

Such a bealtifull machine !

[@loucostabile]

Hi sonicdude3274 2, I like this one too :-) Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou

[@larryhawkins3294]

Where on earth do you find these rare gems. A 70 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 2 Dr hardtop with a 426 Hemi Torqueflite with a vinyl roof....Absolutely amazing! Now I'm assuming that since Super Bee is patterned after the Road Runner...most of them are 2 Dr post sedans. The Road Runner was initially offered in 68 as a 2 door post coupe only. The pillarless hardtop and the Super Bee came out in 69. A great video as always.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Larry Hawkins, Happy to read you appreciate the effort to find cars we can enjoy :-) Lou

[@CarloRinomatoJr]

Now that Lou, that Lou is a Mopar delight.

[@loucostabile]

Glad you enjoy this one Carlo Rinomato Jr :-) Stay tuned, Lou

[@michaelpacini1332]

What a killer Bee !

[@loucostabile]

Nice :-)

[@tomtbi]

Nice collection of Coronet literature too...

[@loucostabile]

Nice :-)

[@alanwood5857]

My Favorite Bee...the owner Paul is a Vietnam Vet as well!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Alan Wood, Happy to read you enjoy this Car & Care Taker :-) Lou

[@garysautobodyservice8548]

What a beautiful car

[@loucostabile]

Glad you enjoy the looks of this one :-)

[@stripervince1]

Actually the RT CORONET, was the better model as those came stock with 440s, most 70 super bees 🐝 had 383. Hemi exception. My friend had this exact car in b5 blue, black interior, four speed but 383.. This car is absolute beauty Lou, all the goodies, hemi, four speed, rally gauge, tic toc tac, ramcharger induction, Trac pac. Too bad no buckets tho. great find Lou, love it

[@Merylstreep1949]

Nice Bee! I remember there was a Chevy dealer up in Grayslake Illinois that around 1999 had a Super Bee that I could have bought but didn't and I'm still kicking myself. Its actually not far from Volo and the auto museum....

[@loucostabile]

Hi Chris, Glad this one brings back memories of the car you saw. Volo is a FUN place, to go and a great way to take the "sting" out of not buying that Super Bee :-) Lou

[@wolftmfg]

What a gem 😍

[@loucostabile]

:-)

[@garbage854]

Nice :)

[@loucostabile]

Glad you enjoy this one :-)

[@Moparmaga-1]

B-5 is beautiful

[@loucostabile]

:-)

[@tomtbi]

Nice Lookin Bee.... I've got the Hemi Orange 1/64 70 Super Bee 440 6 pack by M2 in my collection..

[@loucostabile]

Very cool :-)

[@tomtbi]

I looked at mine last night it actually is a Hemi like this one... Dis he say only 21 70 Hemi Bees were actually built?

[@kellismith4329]

That car is amazing !! The drivetrain is like half the price of the car was well worth a couple thou

[@loucostabile]

Hi Kelli, Happy to read "That car is amazing !!" :-) Lou

[@LynxStarAuto]

"Coke bottle quarters" 👌🏽

[@loucostabile]

Nice and curvy :-)

[@scottbrady7499]

magnificent. tell everyone who received speeding tickets from state troopers in plymouth split faced chryslers, fury II's or whatever, that this vehicle is SO spectacularly unique. it's got that understated coronet look at the tail that is nice, but has the stupid pistol grip shifter (which apparently was promoted in the dodge product guide for 1970.) what about regular manual transmission knobs found in triumphs and austin healys? anericans are generally uncouth.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Scott Brady, "magnificent" Thank you for the high praise :-) Lou

[@OldNewSweetRides]

Whooh, this is something. I'll have a silver :)

[@loucostabile]

Glad to receive a "Whooh" from you John :-) Lou

[@johndillinger8482]

Most of these Hemi cars went straight to the dragstrip,and were promptly blown up.The main problem with the Hemi was you needed to spin it to 7 grand to make the power. They came with no warranty because the engine was a time bomb.Most dealers that got stuck with one of these cars would discount the extra charge for the Hemi to get it off the lot.

[@loucostabile]

Hi john dillinger, Awesome info. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@Brianmlife]

What car show is this? In California we have one of the biggest Mopar car show west of the Mississippi called spring fling in Van Nuys.

[@loucostabile]

Carlisle PA - Chrysler Nationals (Details in the description of the video)

[@Brianmlife]

Thank you for the response and embarrassed that I was not paying attention. lol That superbee was a beauty.

[@pdiz]

Love how the second hand on the Tic-Toc-Tach still sweeps instead of steps... Just as was factory. Did you not convert it to quartz? No way it's still sweeping after all these years...

[@loucostabile]

Not sure if it's still going strong since 1970.

[@timholder4002]

Lou the grill is supposed to resimble bee wings.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Tim Holder, I can see that. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@Moparmaga-1]

I'm going to own a 70 coronet someday Lou. It won't be a factory hemi car, it won't be a 440 6 pack car but it will be a 70 coronet

[@loucostabile]

Hi Korie, Hope you're behind the wheel of your 70 Coronet soon. Lou

[@Merylstreep1949]

I'd give my left arm to still be able to buy a new Bee for 3200 dollars like in that ad. I'd even bee happy with the 383 4 barrel

[@loucostabile]

Hi Chris, So you get rid of the left arm, and you know what? You'd find out its a stick and now what? :-) Let's keep both arms in place, and I hope you're behind the wheel of the right car for you soon, Lou

[@Merylstreep1949]

@@loucostabile yeah someday hopefully I'll get my Bee. My dad was a Buick salesman in the early 70s and I remember going to school in a Superbird and a GSX 👍

[@newjerseybt]

Even though I did not see it while pausing the brochure, I do not believe you could have gotten air conditioning with the Hemi engine.

[@loucostabile]

You're right, no air conditioning option with a Hemi.

[@larryhawkins3294]

Original sticker appeared to read $4766 with options. At Mecum Auctions it could possibly fetch $150K.

[@loucostabile]

Thanks for sharing your research and knowledge.

[@user-co7vg3uw5j]

КРУТОЙ ЧУВАК😄💪ТАЧКА🔥👍

[@loucostabile]

Glad you enjoy this one :-)

[@stevenrains8490]

Hey Lou.... you should do a pre-interveiw (learn about the car) instead of adlibing your documentation of these rare cars.

[@loucostabile]

Hey Steven....When the Care Taker of 20 years is sharing details about the car, and in the video from 3:30 to 7:15 (Note: Paul doesn't usually drive around with time period correct Dodge brochures perfectly spread out in the trunk) we have documentation, and sharing the fender tag, we're (mostly Paul since he owns the car & I) sharing quite a bit of knowledge. What do you see I'm missing in a 13 minute video? Lou

[@bowtech1020]

Owned one a 70 cornet superbee.... Not a hemi unfortunately... But a 440 4 727... Not original... But it was fun. I can definitely say I drove her lol... I had a different scoop. Best front end ever! 4wheel drums not no much

[@ANDREWSAMY562]

Is it just me or does this hemi sound like it could use a tune up?

[@loucostabile]

Hi Andrew Samy, It sounded good to me. Might be stock mufflers creating some exhaust push back sound rather then free flowing. Hope that helps, Lou

[@rightlanehog3151]

I would have come up with the $55 or so to get power steering. Of course you would save a fortune on gym memberships over the years by avoiding it.

[@loucostabile]

Thank you for the laugh out loud moment :-)

[@rightlanehog3151]

I learned to drive in a Plymouth Duster with no power steering but that only had a Slant 6. I imagine the Hemi in Coronet would double the effort/bicep payoff.

[@pauljoey7977]

Nice car. Quit hurting his nice book.

[@loucostabile]

Very nice car. I remember when they were just hitting the showrooms. However the nose is ugly as hell. Once they got out of the 67-68 yrs they were not near as good looking. IMHO
