This 1970 Dodge Super Bee two-door coupe was sold new in December 1969 by Visalia Dodge in Visalia, California, and it remained with the original owner’s spouse until 2022 and was listed on BaT later that year in September. The car is powered by a 383ci V8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission and finished in metallic orange over a black vinyl interior. Equipment includes Rallye-style 14″ wheels, a dual exhaust system, a dual-scoop Ramcharger hood, a Hurst Pistol-Grip shifter, and a push-button AM radio. Work performed following the seller’s acquisition of the car in late 2022 involved overhauling the front suspension and the brakes, installing a Holley carburetor, repairing the ignition lock, and replacing the exhaust system, tires, shocks, pinion seal, transmission output seal, and battery.
Dodge built 3,966 examples of the 1970 Super Bee in the two-door-post coupe body style. This car left the factory finished in Dark Burnt Orange Metallic (FK5) with a black Super Bee tail stripe, and correspondence from the original owner’s spouse indicates that the car was repainted decades ago. Features include a dual-scoop Ramcharger hood, hood pins, split front grilles ringed by chrome bumpers, a chrome rear bumper, and a driver-side mirror. Touched-up chips, scratches, and other blemishes in the paint are pointed out in the photo gallery below.
Rallye-style 14″ wheels are mounted with GR70 Firestone Wide Oval Super Sports radial tires that were installed under current ownership. Other work is said to have included replacing the front-end suspension parts as well as the shocks, and the four-wheel drum brakes were overhauled.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Equipment includes woodgrain interior trim, a Hurst Pistol-Grip shifter, a Music Master push-button AM radio, and a fire extinguisher. The ignition lock was repaired under current ownership.
