1970 Dodge Super Bee 440 6-Pack Muscle Car Of The Week Video #21

[@mrpistonrecaro6483]

Coolest story and upgrades out of all the episodes. Back then they knew how to have fun. Salute to old school Dodge engineers

[@glennfalzo3718]

When I was 19 in 73', I had a 440-6 SuperBee, mine had the power bulge hood, I believe not many of them around, mine was a 727 column shifted, Dana60 with 4:10's, power front discs, buckets, no center console, full insterments, go-wing, chin spoilers, red with black "Bumblebee stripe, the hood was flat black and the bulge was left red, looked really cool. I liked having the L60's fit right in the wheel wells, skinny front tires. Mine did not like going around corners! I have pictures but don't know how to put them on here. Wish I still had it. 😞 I'm now driving a 69' Swinger 340 4spd. Fun to drive, but wish I had the "Bee"!

[@orange70383]

Some people don't like the front end of the 70 Super Bee and Coronet R/T but I think they look great.

[@jeremythompson9122]

I actually really like the 70 Coronet R/T/Super Bee nose. I would've bought a Super Bee instead of a Roadrunner in 1970 just for that reason even though they are essentially the same exact car other than that

[@metalmopars]

This is my favorite muscle car. 70 Bee has the best & meanest looking design ever. Who ever designed the 70 Bee was a freak'n genius. & the 68 Charger.

*orange70383* Well, "some" people are weird ;) *Metalmopars* said it best above. Mean and gorgeous!

My favorite year Bee!

[@runeshadow]

Tic-Toc Tach, pistol grip shifter, and the ram charger hood. My favorite look for the superbee 🐝

[@dalesharpy9197]

MOPAR was the Bees Knees back then . I was only age 10 in 1970 , but I knew the cool Muscle and Richard Petty lol!

[@mateostaplez7497]

I had a 1970 Coronet R/T 440 Magnum in 1974 when I was a junior in High School. I only paid $1100 for it. I was in Auto Mechanics Voc Tech, so I installed what was equivalent to one of the Scat Packages on it myself. I had an Edelbrock intake, Holley 850 double-pumper carb, Hooker Headers, and Accel ignition, but stock cam and valve train. Even with a Torqueflite auto trans (with a "shift kit") and a 3:73 rear end, with Mickey Thompson fat tires on the back it even caught rubber going from second the third and was practically unbeatable on the street. I though it was pretty ugly though, because it was "Plumb Crazy" purple with a white stripe around the tail and had white bucket seats with a console and black carpet. My mom sold it for $1000 after I went in the Air Force! Wish I still had that car!

[@robertlloyd7167]

My neighbor has a '70 Super Bee. It's a Six-Pack console 4-speed car, and it's an animal. With 4:30 gears and slicks it runs high elevens/low twelves at around 116 mph in full street trim. What a beast!

[@pdiz]

I want to have cool neighbors one day...

[@neverspreadjamonabadjer8459]

Gorgeous Super Bee 440 6-Pack!!! Gotta love an all white interior!!!

[@steveallred1330]

Fuel-injected engines are really nice today but you just can't beat the old carb engines in muscle cars when they're tuned right they run and that Ram air system you could hear it when I used to have my duster you can hear it sucking the air in what a sound

I fell in love with this ride years ago!! Still love it !!!

[@mikescaffo4850]

When I watch this show its amazing how many cool cars the big 3 put out in the 60s and early 70s that being said I would have to say dodge was at the tippy top when you see how many cars and how cool there cars were its my opinion that dodge was king of the muscle cars even today

[@coiledsteel8344]

Very underappreciated classic - extremely fast. A real sleeper.

[@DanielAlvarez-xl4qy]

To me this is not even close to a sleeper u look at it n hear it and means business lol back when American cars had beautiful lines

[@5inthehole]

Dodge Coronets where so under appreciated until all the Chargers and Road Runners got smaller up by collectors. I love the look of this 70 model with its distinctive grill and “coke” bottle-box styling. What is there not to love??

[@mikespencer3518]

I want to spray paint yellow my Dodge D 100 and put a Super Bee decal on rear quarter panel now. 318 cid does quarter mile under a minute.

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@MBailey1977]

Love that one year only front end!

[@jeremythompson9122]

Me too. The Coronet R/T/Super Bee is my favorite 1970 Mopar...other than a Hemi Cuda coupe. Love the nose of the 70 Coroner R/T/Super Bee. The Roadrunner/GTX looked almost just like the 68-69 models

[@crimsonghost2449]

My favorite model too, besides 69 charger

[@OakLawnSpeedShop]

Back then cars changed every year

[@Dennis-kj9qx]

My 70 had a single scoop in the center of the hood. Then put it in a neighbors garage and tool every nut and bolt we could take off from front to back top to bottom. 1 year later fired up almost 500 hsp Beautiful hot rod .

[@bartschwartz7217]

I still have my 70 Cornett 500 big block. A 1 year only body style and beautiful driving cars

[@LS1007]

My Stepfather had a 1970 Super Bee in Plum Crazy with white interior. It was a 383 automatic and the seats were regular with adjustable headrests. I got to drive it 2 times when I got my license before he traded it for a 1972 Chrysler Newport Custom. I hated that he traded it and he does too.

[@danielbrealey2924]

I'm in love! Wow, what a car... I love the way you drive some of these cars, I can't believe your allowed to open them up a bit and do a bit of a burnout. Very enjoyable watch, thank you very much for sharing with us all.

Wow what a great great episode I graduated in 76 in Boise Idaho everybody had some kind of bad ass car I didn't I didn't I had a mercury, but it didn't matter because we all had a good time Those times are definitely in the past we didn't know how good we had it

[@robertlloyd7167]

My neighbor has a '70 Super Bee Six-Pack 4-speed car. He's updated it with headers and 4:30 gears in the Dana 60. It runs high 11's at around 119-120 on slicks in full street trim. What an animal! It absolutely liquefies street tires, and is a complete kick in the ass to drive.

[@bg147]

Cool history about the Scat Pack and catalog.

[@barryadunn7551]

Maybe I was misinformed, but I always though that the Super "Bee" was meant to pay homage to the "B" body platform: as in Super "B" body.

[@duwanemcknight8842]

That's were it came from he says it at the end

[@timothyastleford7541]

Had a plum purple one. My best friend had a brown one at the same time. Still dream of it . Love the aggressive stance.

[@v.e.7236]

B-b-b-bad! Bad to the bone! Had a friend out of high school that had a '70 Super Bee and that car had torque that wouldn't quit. Even IF someone got the jump on him, that brute 440 would catch them by the 1/8th mile mark, almost every time. My cam'd '67 Mustang w/ a 289 four barrel and 3:90 gears could beat him to that 1/8th mile, but he'd fly on by me every time I tried. Fun times!

[@danpals7678]

I had a 70 Coronet 500 that I bought during the gas crisis of 79 for $500. The previous owner traded it in for a Vega, what a moron. 383 727 and every option Dodge had. I drove that car every day for years and didn't have to do anything to it and it was very fast.

The idiot light at the bottom of the dash was not for oil pressure. It was a REVERSE GEAR indicator for 4-speed equipped cars. GREAT VIDEO OVERALL!!!

[@eduardovillalon7496]

David miorgan That’s correct David. Had a ´72 Duster Daemon, and that amber light illuminated when you geared the reverse correctly

What do you mean by eat? That it went faster for a few feet? What was in your Challenger? You might have taken the hemi's in the 1/8 mile, but no way in the 1/4. Your Challenger might have been faster off the line but once that hemi got wound up it would be goodbye Challenger. But I do believe you spanked those Yenko's.

[@timhallas4275]

Can you believe that I missed out on a 69 Road Runner, 440 six-pack car in 1976 that sold for $450 ? It's true. I had the money in my pocket and when I got there, it was sold to a guy who arrived 15 minutes before me. I got my 440 about 6 mos later, but it wasn't a 6-pack and it wasn't a Road Runner. But i got it for $500. I look back to those days, and wonder how anyone can live in the 21st century.

[@oliasofsunhillow7116]

The car companies started making their cars, especially the muscle cars more aggressive looking, including the front ends throughout the '60's! 1970 was the beginning of the end with the MoPars, Mustangs and Mercurys! GM started to tame their looks down in 1970! The 1970 bee wing bumper/grilles were matched in back with their tail,brake/backup lights in smaller proportions on the Coronet and Super Bee, but altered with the Coronet 500 and R/T! And you can call the special paint "Psychedelic Rainbow of Colors"! And then, you ad the Mod Tops and interiors to the mix! The music and the cars from back then...!

[@194853DodgeTrucks]

Before the 1960's , racing cars used color and numbers to differentiate themselves from each other. The colors used on regular vehicles were much more subdued and less "dramatic". As the muscle car era grew, so was the need to broadcast a vehicle its racing "heritage". Hence you'd hear the term "racer red", "racer orange", "racer yellow" etc....loud and proud baby!

[@79tazman]

[@5inthehole]

In the late 80's I had a chance to pick up a very similar car, the exception was it was a convertible! It had the big 440 engine. He wanted just a click over $10G's so I offered him $9,500. He said he'd take the weekend and think about it. I called him on Monday and the car was sold. Still kick my ass because it was well cared for and only had 70+ miles on it...and it was a convertible to boot!

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

The ones that got away...

[@5inthehole]

That one really hurt because I should have just given the 10g's instead of trying to get the edge. If I only had 9,500 it would have been a diferent story, but I could have afforded the 10 he wanted....and the car was beautiful, damb it!

I guess you can say I am lucky enuff to remember when musclecars were an everyday occurrence as they roamed the streets looking for the next street race. Not only that back then people were Hotrodding anything with a V8 and 4 wheels. Not everyone could afford a brand new factory racer so they put together what they could get. Some of them were not fast at all but they played the game by sticking cragar rims on and adding glass pack mufflers which made any V8 sound good.

The Sting of The Yellow Super Bee 440 6-Pack Mopar or no Car Man 😎

[@woestynkusdorp6554]

The Super Bee came out half way through the q1968 model yesr. It was priced $500 higher than the Roadrunner, with an upgraded interior (carpet instead of a rubber floor cover) and a Rally dash from the Charger. It also had the option for $15 of a viscous fan with a fan shroud that was available in the Roadrunner without air conditioning. The reason a high percentage of Super Bees have manual transmissions, in the Dodge R/T manual required the expensive Track Pack or Super Track Pack, while in the Super Bee it was no extra cost. The Roadrunner was $500 cheaper and attracted those that would save money and want an automatic transmission. For the price of the Super Bee an automatic R/T with a 440 could be had, so automatic wasn't so popular in the Super Bee, because for the money a larger engine could be had for those that wanted an automatic and that became more popular for the R/T.
