EP 111 Left abandoned by a fugitive for 40 years. Can we make this 1970 Dodge Super Bee Run???

[@eddiemathers1721]

Cool story, I bought my 70 bee back in 1978 for $550.00 and i still have it today

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Very cool.

[@Jeremiah344]

That’s awesome

[@henrysutherland9471]

I'll give you $1001

[@greggillespie2429]

I bought a sixty nine road runner convertible in nineteen seventy six for 500 hundred dollars, I put it over the cliff above Evergreen colorado on shadow mountain road, sorry fellows

[@jwfinley7808]

I bought a 69 chevelle in 77 wish I still had it!!

[@Gdesign959]

That’s my all time dream car. I know a lot of people hated the wild front end but to me that is what made it. Congrats.

[@christophergaudreau9265]

Fugly front end back in the day so much . . But I like most 😊

[@vettegreaser6590]

The front end is what makes this tear so great

[@Mattisgarage]

That 70 front end is so badass, I'm loving it! By the way, the stance is perfect how it is now😁

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

It’s to low in the front. Tires hit the fenders

[@gunjiweber42]

That is a super front end... dam. Everything about this car is amazing.

[@kevinkendall3122]

I always said it looks like a passed off 71 Charger 😆

[@mcm95403]

That is damn cool! I just tracked down my old 70 Super Bee street racer from 40 years ago a couple of months ago. I'm glad it survived and was restored.

[@Rodneys_Rods]

Ford & Mercury guy myself, but the 70 SuperBee is my favourite in the Chrysler line up as well.

[@mattskustomkreations]

I have to go with ‘70 Challenger R/T, or ‘70 AAR Cuda or ‘71 GTX. But the ‘70 Super Bee is up there.

[@TigerDrop787]

This is awesome my dad bought his 70 r/t charger back in 87 for 800$ and still has it were currently getting it roadworthy so it can finally get back on the road after all these years can't wait to see what you do with this super bee

[@toddreese6454]

I love the front end ,and the front end on the 71 road runner

[@sharpgage6512]

bless the U.S auto makers of the 50s throught to the mid 70s, there will never be time like it in history again. glorious golden age of cars now confined to history, like the gun slingers of the west, the knights of the templers. these cars are a remenance of a time long gone

[@obeseperson]

You my friend are hopelessly blinded by nostalgia, and I LOVE these old cars

[@walterkey5954]

Good say brother, God save

[@edwingarcia232]

Congratulations I always wanted a 68 -70 Charger . Still Dreaming and Praying

[@adrianfreeman7319]

Man as a idaho native its awesome to see the old firebird stickers! I used to live in logan for a short time such a gorgeous area cant wait for more on the bee!

[@davidsmart8094]

I can hear the love in your voice . MAKE SURE YOU KEEP HER.

[@wyattblackwood3927]

Man that car has so much potential. Really happy that you found your dream car, look forward to seeing what you're going to do with it.

[@bobbydelamar606]

Nice!! I love it. My 1970 Roadrunner has a 383.

[@lovedadonald.]

I'm with ya bro, that's a great car ! I always thought those rims blowed back in the day and they haven't grown on me with the passing of time but that is one cool MOPAR !!! Good score my friend.

[@royhaught9516]

That's really a great find. back in the day a friend of mine had one just like it except it had a 440 six pack and a auto trans., that car was awesome fast!

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

They are the coolest car in my opinion.

[@Rocket-ck3qn]

Sounds like Christine from the movie theater,all, respect. Thank you for sharing.

[@christophergaudreau9265]

Love LOVE the 1970 front end 😃

[@cudafry1967]

I had that same carb that was an actual Holley years ago, worked very well, and I liked that the top comes off and no separate bowls that dump gas all over when removed.

[@supersonicnomad8437]

Congrats on your Bee! I owned (3rd owner) the '71 Charger R/T Mr. Norms car that you had on the channel. I can't wait to see how the Bee progresses! Right on!

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Can you contact me at [e-mail] please

[@YODAMAN5]

AWESOME vid, enjoy your dream come true....MOPAR 4 EVER.

[@richardstall4351]

Sweet dreams sure do come true nice find Man really nice 👍 when I was in my teens this old guy had a super bee and a super bird or Daytona Both parked under a old Barn with no doors on it and every time us kids went by their we'd stop just to look at them old guy let us check them out once was really cool. We also used to go and look at a road runner 383 in a barn that someone piled Barn wood behind the car the owner wouldn't sell it the barn fell on it was a sad 😢 day Thanks for sharing your video's and Happy Holidays

[@christophergaudreau9265]

1968 Coronet back end is ABSOLUTELY beautiful 😊

[@JonnyMopar]

Bad ass Jeremy. Congratulations. The 70 Bee has been my unicorn. Never actually owned one.

[@smileychavez8093]

The Holley Econo master you took off. Need to be filled trash can. Lots of potential

[@timothyballinger6280]

Omg! 70 super bee is also my number one favorite car as well! Color and 4spd not to mention cregar sst's are my favorite rims! I've had several sets of them. They make anything look cool! I can't believe I came across your video. I always click on a video of 70 super bees or even coronets. Awesome brother! Two thumbs up!!

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Thanks for watching.

[@locotrucker46]

Glad to see you have your dream car and it runs and drives. Very cool..good luck with it.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Thank you! Its a great car.

[@michaelstone8882]

Super Bee. Best car they ever made from 68 to 71. In my opinion. You got the keeper of a lifetime there buddy.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

I agree. And this car isn't going anywhere.

[@toddodell2904]

I love the older vehicles as I grew up with them nice super b

[@jasonbose3507]

I LOVE 💕 THE SUPER BEE 🐝. I remember when these things were new and being cruised around, time sure does fly! I was so jealous of this one dude that picked one up new because he lived at home that was living in his Mom's basement to afford this beauty 😍. It was metallic forest green with white accents and stripes, looked amazing 🤩. Anyway, YOU are so very incredibly LUCKY 🤞 🍀 to own one of these amazing muscle cars from that amazing muscle car era. Thanks for the video, it's appreciated 👍.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Thank you. I have been wanting a good one for ever.

[@OdySlim]

I"m really happy for you! I love the car.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid, love the Super Bee 👍👍

[@christophergaudreau9265]

I love ALL1968-1970 Chrysler B Bodies-(Road Runner/Charger) However the "Coronet" is really MY FAVORITE of all "B" models 😊

[@davidbrown4180]

Can't wait to see it all done

[@czechappy]

I'm with you, The Super Bee's were the best, I love the GTX and Roadrunner's But the 1970 Super Bee's are #1...I'm a factory 15 inch rim guy with the big rear tires and small 14 inch on the front and keep the car close to level. Great Car !!!!!

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

I also think that they are the best. Such an aggressive look. 14" and 15" are a cool look. Just too hard to get the right size of 14's now.

[@realmaindrianpace]

The Summit carb is actually half Holley and half Autolite. Some Holley parts interchange. I built the regular AMT '70 Super Bee in the mid '90s, painted it Plum Crazy with black and white interior and the 440.

[@carl5536]

That's my car and I want it back lol..That's my favorite and my dream car cause I remember watching a Super Bee rule the Kanawha Valley in Wva in the 70s. I'm pretty sure that it was a 440 4speed car but it ruled. It was gray paint from factory with black decals and badges. I used to go hitch hiking just so I could ride in the car although moma always told me to never get in that car but I did anyway and it'd pin ya in the seat as long as the throttle was to the floor going through the gears and even at 50mph when he mashed it to floor, you ain't going to move around that's 4sure. I remember the odometer said 160 and I'm 💯 percent sure that it would've easily done 160 and then some cause just playing around 137 wasn't a hard thing for the car to do and ain't nutn like a Mopar when it comes to raw gaspump horsepower

[@MrOnemanop]

Looks like a whole lot of fun!

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025]

Fantastic you got the car you want it. And what a cool car

[@josewiththerolex]

Beautiful

[@dbabyzo]

69 super Bee was my favorite but I'll take any year!! As close as I ever got was a 73 satellite Sebring Plus!!

[@jimmyford796]

In 74 I had a 66 Ford Fairlane 500 with a 390 4v. I traded it straight across for a 69 SuperBee. Best deal I ever made.

[@davidgrange5012]

Super happy for!! This could be your soulmate 🤔 love the video! You inspire a lot of people to love motor sports! Keep up the BAD influence ❤️

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Not a problem Dave. It’s my pleasure. :)

[@beatglauser9444]

I love the front end of that one even more than the one of the Chargers. I love 65 Pontiacs and the feature of the split grille is very nice. It is true that you cannot call the nose of this car "descent". But who wants a boring car anyway. Hope you will stick to this one. If you sell it you will regret it for the rest of your life!

[@OdySlim]

Happy Days Buddy! Good for You.. . Regards from Ody Slim

[@davidwoollett1877]

Love the front ends of these!

[@DavidSaner-e7w]

I love the 70 SuperBee and SST I had a set on my 70 Monte Carlo

[@hm12460]

12:55 Love the MOPAR starter whine.

[@allenschmitz9644]

Happy as a lark you are.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Very much so! :)

[@scottkovacs7634]

Love the 72 yellow charger

[@CarlosGuzman-bq8fr]

That's awesome you got your dream car.

[@kenjohnson3641]

Sweet ride luv the front of them

[@79tazman]

Yeah the 1970 Superbee has been my favorite mopar since I was a little kid and my uncle use to take me for rides in his

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Memories are what made this my favorite car as well.

[@ehguy3628]

Nice car! Saw them a lot when I was a kid. Wondering, can you fill up the float bowls with your 50:1 fuel with that carb. Would make it so that the throttle would be able to feed fuel to the carb circuits.

[@gabrielkwiatkowski645]

Hermoso auto,especialmente por ser manual de 4°

[@kevkilian]

Pretty freaking cool

[@wreckerjonny6144]

I have a 69. I sold the 70 which I should have kept . But now I finally got my 69 charger

[@shaunwright7442]

The superbee is one of my favorite muscle cars 💪🇺🇲💪American muscle cars rule

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

SAME!!! Super Bee's are such awesome cars.

[@pdiz]

Real tears. I lost both of my '70 Super Bees in the early '90s because of some bad actors and because they were so far gone, I couldn't afford to fix them. Been waiting decades to get another... My favorite car ever.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Hopefully you can get another

[@mcm95403]

Time for a tune up, Accel Super Coil and good wires. Also, make sure to use the Accel rotor regardless of the cap you use. The tip is much longer and reduces the power lost when jumping the gap in the cap.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Never heard that before, but definitely makes sense. Thank you

[@gunjiweber42]

I'm happy for you. I'd take it in a second !!

[@Wayne-Kj]

Nice find. Happy for you and good luck with it. The right front inner fender is rough, but they are pretty easy to replace. Hopefully the frame is straight.

[@landonsheffield6160]

What a great find! I love how stoked you are about it. I have one of your 5 Bees. I've been getting burnt out on the resto on it but this video inspires me to keep going!

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Which one do you have?

[@landonsheffield6160]

I've got the plum crazy N96 car that was surface rusted pretty bad. It had more rust repair than I was expecting too. It's starting to shape up nice though. @@ShadeTreeVintageAuto

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Very awesome. I would love to see some progress pics if possible. [e-mail]

[@landonsheffield6160]

Will do!@@ShadeTreeVintageAuto

[@dvidgonzales8376]

Enjoy watching youpoints and condenser guy, me too

[@danielboyd4618]

I'm a Mopar guy and that is my favorite Mopar. Well that or a 383 Dart.

[@danielboyd4618]

The front end is what makes this the best looking Mopar, and being a 80s kid I'd have to say it sits perfect😎

[@danielboyd4618]

I have that Duster mines a 71 my high school car same color to dark green with multiple color parts😂 not the lime green one

[@andydanko7074]

Hard to believe you can still find these Great Cars sitting around

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

They are out there

[@frankcastle2045]

Great cars always liked them when I was 5 in 74 my dads friend had one yellow 440 4 speed his had the 6 tail lights blacked out

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Sounds like an R/T. Way cool cars.

[@c3dk]

SUPER cool car, I'm happy for you :-)

[@brook.p9095]

The bandit!!!!!!!! Name it the banditttttttttt

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Its already called, the Fugitive.

[@dennisbrown2571]

Your joy is evident! Congrats. Milage plez.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

84k miles

[@MarvinHartmann452]

I bought a 1971 challenger in 1993 for 1000$. It has a 340 4 speed. But now these cars are for the riches thanks to the flippers and speculator. At least, I got the chance to have one. I sold it few years later to buy a 1987 buick GN.

[@raulherrera968]

Love it ❤❤❤

[@danwingo7512]

My 72 340 Challenger had a 750 cfm Carter Thermoquad on it.

[@MikeJBlues]

70s my favorite year for the bee, but cragar SS look way better lol . Awsome car bro 👌

[@smileychavez8093]

Badass!!

[@thomasanderson2870]

Friend of mine bought a mint one-blue with white vinyl top for $850 years ago. Was a repo.

[@TsGoodTimesGarage]

She's a sweet ride Jer! Would love to own one too someday. Far as Firebird Raceway goes, one of my favorite tracks. Can't go wrong running it there.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

I know a few people that really like that place. I’ll let you know when we go.

[@nooneyouknow5129]

That is one cool car! I like that it has dual citizenship, Idaho plate in the front and Oregon in the back. I had a 1969 bee and loved it. The only thing I don’t like about this video is you coming up and buying it in my backyard. There’s been a couple of you utahonians buying classic muscle cars in eastern Oregon.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

And I'll continue to do it. lol

[@jamesmoon8947]

Great name.

[@jasonlavertu6894]

Best line in the video....."This is why i'm not married" 🤣🤣 Great semi revival.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Haha

[@ilovechevysmallblocks]

Awesome !

Nice new mouse smell …. The smell of a new project… nice

Nice score ,it would look great in vitamin c orange

[@jwfinley7808]

Did you bring another fuel tank fuel and fuel lines?

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

I ran an aux. can.

[@warddavis4995]

I've always loved them!!! My brother had one when I was a kid in the 80's!!! His was plum crazy with the C-stripe. I've been trying to find him another one but it's nearly impossible for what I can afford anyway.... LoL 😂 I hope you don't mind me asking, what did you have to give for it?

[@drmrdude1965]

You're opening a can of whip ass there buddy!😊

[@yeahright302]

you should give more of a back story to the car.yes you gave a little about the back story as he was a fugitive and abandoned at his sister and then????how did you get it?was it for sale?says not for sale on windshield?etc..etc..

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Thanks for the input. I am trying to find more about the story and will add it in a later episode. Thank you for watching.

[@eugenepiurkowski5439]

What an exciting great find. It is nice to have dreams come true. Is the color EV2, Hemi Orange? Looks like the paint on my 71 Challenger. Could you tell me what the music was at the beginning of the video. Really liked it and it certainly fit the mood of your repair work. Thanks for posting and good luck.

[@deandee8082]

I had a chance to get a 70' convertible, it was forest green, I worked at sambos back in oh 78-82 whatever, it sat down at ballard wrecking right under the bridge off 15th ave, it was there for about a year, I asked he wanted like $800 for it, ran, 440, top worked, I had a 442 at the time but wanted that car bad, I decided i would spend my income tax getting it, when I went to get it, GONE! I loved that car more than my 442 w30, and that was a nice car.. but that coronet looked so bad arse, 440 4 spd, console, convertible, it had those ducts like the shelby mustangs had.. man, R/T badged

[@eddiethedodgeman6758]

I wanted one so bad. I thought I bought one and I paid my money for a 70 Super Bee. Anyway, it never showed up. I love the front ends. When I was in 3rd grade our neighbor got home from Vietnam. He went and bought himself a 70 SuperBee with a 426 Hemi. I thought that car is so Bitchen. One day.

[@josephcivita1450]

It's had the nose replaced which tells me it was wrecked at one time. Get it up on a lift and check for bent chassis parts, cracks, or broken welds.

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Inner fender needs replaced, but the rail looks good

[@davecody5997]

1969 440 six pack orange and black huge hood scoop four speed ...was mine in 72!!!!

[@davidhiatte3685]

Crager ssts wow. Torque Thurst D's look the best on any old muscle car

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

Thats the beauty of everyone having their own opinion. My opinion is that torque thrusts and Cragar ss's are way overused. I wanted something more unique.

[@billbaker3384]

I want a 69 bee. Had one in 73 when I was in the navy.

[@mikemadison2747]

Who doesn't like the front end of a Super Bee? That's crazy talk. 😁

[@dwaynetroutman5377]

The carburetor is a holley Econo master It was a carburetor Built back in the 80s very small primaries and secondary to get fuel economy They didn't work good And congratulations on getting you a super B.

[@pearlguy6351]

I had to resurrect my 72 Gran Torino from the previous owner sat for a couple of years took awhile to get her straight again

[@kennylauracummings9374]

I don't know what you traded but I think you got the better deal 😏

[@ShadeTreeVintageAuto]

I think so too. But I had to give up my 69 340 Swinger to make this happen.
