Sublime Green 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 440 Six Pack Begs to Be Driven Hard

Produced between 1968 and 1971, the Super Bee wasn’t your average Dodge Coronet. It was a through-and-through muscle car with the B-body platform of the Charger, and the rarest of the lot is the 426 HEMI for obvious reasons.

The 440 isn’t as rare, but the 7.2-liter Six Pack is nothing to scoff at. 390 horsepower and d490 pound-feet of torque, to be more precise, made possible by the no fewer than three Holley two-barrel carbs. The 1970 model in the photo gallery spend 20 years in storage, then it was treated a rotisserie restoration that covered the Sublime Green paint, the A33 option, and Ram Charger hood.

“This Super Bee has been maintained in a climate-controlled environment and used very sparingly for the past two decades,” says Worldwide Auctioneers about lot number 6, which is heading to auction without reserve. A three-time Best in Show winner at Mopar Nationals, the Coronet shows under 45,000 miles on the odometer.

Complementing the striking exterior, the cabin adds “gleaming white vinyl bucket seats” to the visual drama as well as wood grain applique for the dashboard and the Music Mater radio from the factory. The old-school Rallye tachometer and clock, space-saving spare tire, 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels, Polyglas tires from Goodyear, and a pistol-grip Hurst shifter are highlights in their own right.

The selling vendor mentions that 2013 is when the nose-heavy Super Bee “was treated to a mild freshening” consisting of an electrical check and a rebuild of the carburetors. As mentioned earlier, the A33 Track Pack is the icing on the cake thanks to the 3.54:1 rear axle from Dana with a Sure Grip differential.

It’s pretty hard to estimate what kind of money this car is worth nowadays, but there’s no denying that whoever wins the auction will get himself or herself a fine piece of Mopar muscle. For the 1970 model year, Dodge manufactured 15,506 examples with the 383 Magnum, 440 Six Pack, and 426 HEMI engines.
