The 1970 Dodge Super Bee
The Super Bee was restyled for 1970. To differentiate it from the
Coronet that it was based on, the Super Bee did not get the dummy
rear fender scoops as standard equipment. It also had horizontally
divided taillamps.
New options included a hood tach and spoiler.
Buyers could order the R/T type bumble bee stripe or pipe-shaped
upper and lower rear fender stripes with a circular Super Bee decal
between them.
The Super Bee was available in a number of wild colors, such as Plum
Crazy, Sublime, and Go-Mango.
Extras included the "Kruncher" and Bee-Liever" performance
options.
Base prices fell, but sales dropped to about 15,500 units. Hemis
were installed in just 32 hardtops and 4 pillared coupes.
This was the last year that the Super Bee was based on the Coronet.
The Super Bee switched over to the Charger
platform for 1971 but still represented a low-cost, high performance
package.
