The Super Bee was to Dodge as the Road Runner was to Plymouth. Both were budget-minded muscle cars, with the latter being more successful sales-wise. Super Bee production lasted just four years (1968 to 1971) though the nameplate would be recycled years later. This 1970 edition looks like a stalled project that’s being flipped. From the back of a trailer in New Port Richey, Florida, this rough Mopar is available here on eBay where $10,000 might take it home – if there are no more bidders.
Both the Road Runner and Super Bee were B-bodied intermediates, based respectively on the Belvedere and Coronet. Though the Super Bee had a gimmicky name and graphics like the Plymouth, buyers preferred the one with the “meep meep” horn. Dodge sold 15,500 Super Bees in 1970, while Plymouth peddled three times as many of its “birds”.
The seller’s car is rare as it is not only a pillared coupe but also finished in B5 paint which was applied to only 370 of them that year. It’s a one-owner car (if you exclude the seller) and once had a 383 cubic inch V8, standard in the Super Bee. But it’s long gone although the 4-speed manual transmission has stuck around along with the original rear end.
Some prior restoration work was done, such as new floors and a trunk pan. What you don’t see in the photos is said to be stashed somewhere in the interior of the Dodge. Apparently, the car was living in a barn in South Carolina when the seller found it and a link is provided to check it out. If you don’t mind finishing what others have started, is this Super Bee the one for you?
The drivers door has a monster gap alignment to rear quarter panel.
Its non matching without engine.
It definitely needs a personal inspection to see the frame.
It says new floor panels but are they put in at right positions to assist proper alignment’s?
I guess the original owner let it sit outside..
10K ? Did some alchemist find a way to turn rust into gold?
20 minute YouTube link was a surprise.
Ah come on guys. This rusty, beat up Mopar thing has really gone too far. Why in all that is holy are people willing to pay this kind of money for a VIN number? I just don’t get it.
If you dont get it by now, you never will ! Good Luck with that one!
No offense but just go buy a C8. That’s what all the other guys who don’t get it are doing…hanging out with the other C8 guys, complaining that there’s not a trophy for best C8 at all the shows.
I have no intention of ever “getting it”, so you’re right, I never will.
I love the muscle era Mopars. 10K is about right for what it is. Definitely needs an in person inspection. Frame rails are the Achilles heel of the Mopar world.
As of 02/11/2025 it is at $12,300.
At least this one has an interesting story that goes with it.
SOLD for $10,000.
