With its aggressive proportions, big-block V8 power, and unmistakable graphics, the Dodge Super Bee was never designed to blend into traffic.
This 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee, currently offered for sale through Hemmings, is a perfect example of that flamboyant era. Finished in eye-catching Bright Red with a contrasting white vinyl roof, it’s ready to turn heads wherever it goes.
The classic Mopar is being sold by Fast Lane Classic Cars in St. Charles, Missouri, with an asking price of $79,995. For anyone hunting for an old-school American muscle car, there’s plenty here to get excited about.
One detail worth approaching cautiously is the odometer, which displays just 3,639 miles. Given the car’s age and five-digit odometer, that reading shouldn’t be mistaken for verified lifetime mileage.
Red Paint, White Stripes, And Plenty Of Attitude
The Super Bee’s striking exterior features distinctive white reverse-C stripes wrapping around the rear quarters, complete with the model’s signature bee graphics. A white vinyl roof provides another bold contrast against the bright red bodywork.
Fifteen-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in staggered Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T tires give the Dodge a classic street-machine appearance. Chrome accents and the unmistakable 1970 Coronet front end complete the look.
Inside, white vinyl split-bench seating contrasts with a woodgrain dashboard and Rallye instrumentation, and there’s a factory-style AM radio and Super Bee floor mats that add to the cabin’s nostalgic atmosphere.
A Big-Block V8 With Three Carburetors
Under the hood sits a 383-cubic-inch (6.3-liter) V8 equipped with a Six-Pack induction conversion. Its three two-barrel carburetors give the engine the appearance and character of Mopar’s legendary multi-carburetor setups.
Power reaches the rear wheels through an A727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission and an 8¾-inch rear axle. A 3.23:1 Sure Grip limited-slip differential helps put the V8’s power to the pavement.
Power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes make the Dodge easier to handle, while dual exhaust provides the soundtrack you’d expect from a classic big-block Mopar.
A $79,995 Piece Of Mopar History
At $79,995, this Super Bee isn’t cheap, although its presentation and desirable specifications should attract attention from Dodge enthusiasts. It should be noted that the Six-Pack setup is a conversion rather than an original factory-installed configuration.
Prospective buyers should also verify the car’s history, mechanical condition, and actual mileage before committing. Hemmings notes that the listing information comes from the seller and hasn’t been independently verified.
Still, it’s hard not to appreciate a bright red Super Bee with a big-block V8 and such a wonderfully unapologetic appearance. Hopefully, its next owner will spend some time enjoying it on the road rather than simply admiring it in a garage.
