1970 Superbee test drive

[@Pantera-wu9ty]

drop dead gorgeous car......pistol grip, sassy grass, hemi.............PERFECTION

[@moonbounce]

Remind me to NEVER let you test drive my car!

[@shayson1357]

moment of silence for the transmission :"(

[@ElectronicsForFun]

it's fine. that transmission can do burnouts all day.

[@robertharris4010]

That’s too funny

Nope it's not a junk Muncie transmission

1970 was THE ABSOLUTE BEST YEAR FOR AMERICAN MUSCLE CARS. PERIOD. Not arguable, not debatable. Every muscle car was at the pinnacle of styling, handling (lol straight line 1/4 mile) horsepower, color, spoilers, racing stripes, exhausts etc. and value. Just picture all these 1970 cars...... LS6 70 chevelle, a gtx a challenger, a gto, a SS nova, all the yenkos, 70 camaros, firebirds, buick gsx all the hemis, 440 six packs, dual quads, 427 454 455, 429 boss mustangs, 428 cobra jet torinos and cyclones, 390 amxs and scrambler the list is endless. In my opinion, mopars were the best with the wildest colors and options, but we don't wanna start the Ford vs chevy vs plymouth argument. They were all awesome......but 70 was the peak

[@kevaninthe4135]

1970 really was a great year for the muscle car/pony car world. 1971 was a good year but the winds of change were starting to blow and within a couple of years the muscle/pony car world was on life support.

[@jamesw7746]

[@zionisimkills1098]

in 1969, after a big push by the Rockefellers, Nixon signed into law, the E.P.A. That is why 1970 was the peak of performance for Muscle Cars. The E.P.A. at that time had no sway over auto makers, that would come later, however, they could put a damper on the Fuel Octane, and best of all, Limit the building of any more refineries, 1976 was the last year a refinery was built in America, at one time, there where 26 different oil companies in American, with so much competition they could not control the price like today,. As a child of the 50's it was an every day common occurrence to have Oil companies conducting, Believe it or not, " GAS WAR ", This was posted in front of many stations across town, more importantly, 102 octane was very common, at the pump, There where actually 3 different grades of Gas, Premium, or Supreme, Ethyl, or Regular, the fuel today is so bad with this corn oil in it, I doubt the muscle cars of the 60 and 70 would run anywhere near peak performance, I know for fact the valve seats of the heads will not last with the gasoline of today with out Lead. Gas station used to give away dish's, silver ware, Green stamps, anyone else remember " Green Stamps " Blue Chip Stamps. I remember for 3 dollars I could Cruise my Dodge Dart all night, and still have enough gas to get to school next morning, and back.

[@stripervince1]

Yup I remember all that. S&h green stamps, the sunoco station gas pump had the big dial on it, 87 89 91 93 95 99 and 102 octane. The cheapest I remember gas was .23 a gallon in 1963

[@dontjh8448]

Pretty much. But could make a serious argument for 1968-1971 era. But 1970 is the pinnacle year of American muscle

[@bpcarman]

My first car was a 70 Superbee. I still remember the VIN number. 383 4 speed. B5 blue with a light blue C stripe. Im 61 years old and I still miss that car. 15 inch steering wheel, manual steering and manual drum brakes. But when you figured out how it wanted to be driven, beautiful things happened. It taught me about snap oversteer the 2nd day I had it. That Saturday night a friend and I found a country road away from people and learned how to drive that bitch. I washed it every morning before school. I sell cars for a living and today I had 2 seventeen years olds come and look at a Shelby GT350 we have for sale. They reminded me of me. Except they were Ford guys. One had a 16 Mustang GT with a 6 speed and the other showed me pictures of his 2012 Shelby GT. I told them to hang on to those cars matter what else happened in their lives. The cars could never be replaced. They understood. All the car people I know are the same way. You're born with it, you live with it, you die with it. We don't pick this hobby, this hobby picks us.

[@soldtobediers]

It is so. 70% restored Daily driver... '53 5 window 3100 & 100% restored '68 650 Triumph Trophy Sports motorcycle I'd bought from a one owner back in 1973. @ 67 they keep me younger every year.

[@mrkemblegilstrap]

👍

[@roberthill8564]

I wouldn't let him test drive a Slant 6 stickshift never mind a friggen Hemi. As soon as he ground the shit outa trying to find Reverse, I'd a been yanking him out by his dang ears if I could find them.

[@LoneWolf-yp2mo]

Yeah, he forgot to put on the red nose purple hair and big shoes .....

[@roscosgrow9906]

Funny how he knows basically nothing about the car , he say " 4 speed manual " ... idiot ...

[@mrkemblegilstrap]

[@CHEVROMAX]

`70 Super Bee has the best nose ever made!

[@lazarus611]

Beautiful stock car, just the way I like them. Chrysler came out with a updated Hemi now if they would bring back the unique sound of their old starters then I would be in heaven.

[@joltinjack]

Ah...brings back childhood memories of my uncle's 1968 GTX Plymouth (fancy Road Runner). He had to keep his foot hard on the brake pedal to keep it still at red lights. It just had the standard Commando 440 with one 4-barrel carburetor, but was plenty swift.

[@theclever3963]

yeah I owned a 69 440 and from a 20mph punch the car flat out launched

[@dreamingcode]

At first I thought he had the shades on to be cool then I realized he can't see, which explains him missing every gear

[@dubcoco1]

I bought a Super Bee when I was 16. I wrapped the speedo all the way down to the "MPH" letters. If I knew then what I know now, I would still have that one and both pistol grip Challengers. Probably would have kept the 71' 340/ 4 speed Demon too. My 68' Road Runner 4 speed car too. Geezzzz.....

[@chadhaire1711]

Another bullshit story...LOL.......only way that car went to MPH letters would be doing down a mine shaft.........

[@jenkemjones68]

He nails it right out the gate.That's 👌!!

This is the most awesome Dodge super bee six pack of bees I've ever seen love your bee muscle car. You have done an awesome job. Thank you for a awesome video of your test drive 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 six pack of bees pure muscle.

[@chadhaire1711]

it isn't a 6-pack Goober

[@ComicalCowboy1911]

Did the guy learn to drive a stick a day before making this video?

[@scottcameron4890]

HAAAA HAAA!!! THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS THINKING...

[@treyjones545]

2:52 I thought he drove pretty good for a Werewolf

[@zionisimkills1098]

He is still Learning. Some one please let him know, it is ok to drive without keeping your hand on the gear shift all the time.

[@vondrebridges9740]

Trey Jones lo you made my day

[@izzynutz2000]

dude you need somebody to teach you how to drive that stick no offense but you'd enjoy the car a lot more it was built for that

[@martinguitars8991]

That’s from ppl with these classics cars really don’t drive them too often hence rookie behind the wheel.. in our days we all drove them daily like work , play , etc etc ... Drive it way more often and he’ll be & car will be alright...

[@richardvizzi]

"Start out with a basic acceleration test" Floors it

[@bobl78]

I hope it was warmed up

[@scrapinpennies4365]

That seems basic to me

[@firecriss1392]

"let's take a look at the engine" (hood suddenly is open). God, that was spooky.

[@chrispappas3750]

Plymouth's color was Sassy Grass Green, Dodge's was Green Go. Something doesn't make sense here.

[@Jack_of_Helsinki]

That sound, I love it

[@jarmeljake]

Sweet car. Some Mopar enthusiasts like the 727 A/T. Auto trans. not a bad option as the Mopar's manual was know to be a bit of a handful for some. But, what beats a 4 speed? Just "AM radio." Pretty sure few of the muscle cars back then had AM/FM, unless special order. Was a Senior in High School and not driving a new car. Dug all the muscle cars, big time. Still know the specs. on many that remain popular today. Right on, and ride on...Peace -V

[@danpals7678]

The nicest Superbee I've ever seen and I'm an Mopar guy.

[@QuietDriver97]

Air conditioning didn't come with the Hemi from the factory at all.

[@pdiz]

Very cool you maintained the red stripes around the grill area... Most don't know this was correct. A lot of cars didn't have it, in their defense. A lot argue it was a 426 vs 440 vs 383 thing, but AFAIK it was just random...

[@michaelcuff5780]

We had a janitor at our catholic grade school growing up and me and my friend would work at the school on Saturdays . our pay was a smokey burnout!

[@mrkemblegilstrap]

In 1969 I was in elementary school in Laredo, TX. and a Super Bird used to pick up one of the other students.

[@marioncobaretti2280]

needs more octane in fuel , engine run on after he shut it off

[@Shogun35FTW]

"Basic acceleration test" was the best haha i did not see that coming

[@georgefrompa]

Sweet... dont like the color but its in my top 5 cars of all time... Great video.. thanks

[@dannyb13579]

if only a hemi cost 871 dollars today... the valve covers cost more than that now

Not a fan of the roof, I know that was "the thing" back then but now I would much prefer the roof to be the same color as the car especially as the car is such a awesome color.

[@richardcurrin8940]

Blake Belladonna I think Chrysler had to use the roof to hide a seam??

[@Joyriderestorations]

Hey guys, easy on the negative comments. Again its not my car so i did not want to take it to its limits it before my customer got a chance. I really just wanted everyone to see a really cool car not critic my driving. Yes there are some mistakes in the video it is Go Green, and yes it is a AM only radio. It is a factory Go wing car so my customer did not cheap out on tire width to finance the wing. As far as me being a bow tie bozo ha ha ha that one was good. I love all you car guys we all have something in common. Have a great day guys!!!

[@carlkemble6600]

guess you shouldn't have ground reverse and dumped the clutch if it ain't yours

[@truereaper4572]

"Where's the transmission?" "Gone. Reduced to atoms."

[@mrkemblegilstrap]

@@carlkemble6600 I like your name.

[@Really-AintBuyn-nit]

Grill inserts aren't original. Those are off a 500 Coronet. "first year of the split grille, how bout only year. Anyone that knows how to drive a standard transmission goes to second before going to first, or reverse just to stop the gears from turning without grinding.

[@larryschrack3865]

1st time in a four speed?

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

I hate those mini starters like the old classic MOPAR whine of one wondering did it start that time or wind down put in gear and nothing??? LOL

13.5 1/4 mi. included lots of wheel spin.

So that's that term to use when beating a customers car! "basic acceleration test"

[@Joyriderestorations]

Not true it is a customers car

[@the6thsenz955]

Love it God bless

[@carsonmatthew2684]

In my opinion you can not drive these types of cars easy. They were built alot better than any car these days so you can drive them harder good luck man wishbi could drive that car.

[@johnjubie7144]

I love these cars, but they definitely were not built better than today's cars, the build quality and quality of components were spotty at best.

[@peterfow8049]

If only he had pushed the clutch in further putting into reverse and didn’t let the gears grind (should have edited it out ) video would have been better , I have driven cars with that pistol grip shifter , feels great in the hand but the length of the shift is like a school bus, you ain’t speed shiftin that’s for sure

[@superbee]

All of the money put into that car, and you can't finish the trunk out with tail light protectors?

[@TwoPair72]

Is it me, or does he look like Kim Coates in Sons of Anarchy? 😁. Love to have it, but don’t have the cash.

[@bpcarman]

Driver mod needed. And that's not the correct starter

Thankfully not many were ordered with that spoiler, ruins the great lines of these cars.

and scratching those gears already from a fresh resto!! also that shifter is not for your hand to rest on. shift and let go of it. wont be long before it starts popping out of gear. just saying.

[@marioncobaretti2280]

guy cant drive for shit , cant find em .....grind em

[@ElectronicsForFun]

why does everybody keep saying he's grinding gears and destroying the transmission? sure he's not the smoothest there is, but he's not doing anything that will hurt the transmission. I have done way worse things to transmissions without much harm. the worst damage I have ever brought to a transmission was a few metal shavings in an NV3500 because I was beating the shit out of it. bang shifting, 2nd gear clutch dumps. and once my clutch master got water in it from plowing through flooded streets at 40MPH during a monsoon, so I did grind some gears before I got that fixed. the transmission fluid was pretty metallic and there was some chunky bits on the magnet but it still shifts just fine without double clutching.

[@fratzogmopars]
