440 Six Pack: 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee

Some muscle cars announce themselves quietly. A 1970 Dodge Super Bee painted in Dark Burnt Orange Metallic is definitely not one of them. This Coronet Super Bee listed on eBay leans hard into classic Mopar attitude with a V-code pedigree, 6-Pack induction setup, aggressive stance, and a built stroker big-block under the hood. Located in Peabody, Massachusetts, the car is being presented as a restored and heavily upgraded street machine with just 149 miles showing on the odometer, though the listing notes the actual mileage is unknown. Thanks for the tip, Curvette!

According to the seller, this Super Bee is one of 1,072 440-powered hardtops built for the 1970 model year. Originally assembled at Chrysler’s Lynch Road plant in Detroit, the car reportedly retains its correct FK5 Dark Burnt Orange Metallic paint color as verified by the trim tag. The listing states the car was repainted approximately four years ago.

While it began life as a V-code 440 Six Pack car, the original numbers-matching engine is no longer in place. In its place sits a non-matching 496 cubic-inch stroker V8 built from a 440 block. The seller says the engine was built by “Barbara Ann” Spiro and is paired with a 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission prepared by FB Performance Transmissions. The transmission is also described as blanket-equipped.

The listing includes a long list of modifications and performance upgrades. According to the seller, the engine uses ported and polished 906 heads, an UltraDyne camshaft with solid lifters, MSD ignition components, and the classic trio of two-barrel carburetors that make up the Six Pack setup. The seller also claims the combination produces around 500 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque at the wheels between 4,500 and 6,000 rpm.

Suspension and drivetrain updates were part of the build too. The ad mentions a PST suspension kit, subframe connectors, CALTRACS traction bars, an 8.75-inch rear axle with 3.91 gears and posi-traction, plus a Borla dual exhaust system with electric cut-outs. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.

The exterior retains several period Super Bee cues including the power bulge hood, quad headlights, chrome bumpers, white tail stripe, and black Gator Grain vinyl roof. Steel wheels with beauty rings and Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires complete the look. The seller notes the passenger-side mirror was added later for symmetry.

Inside, the car features Dark Burnt Orange vinyl bucket seats, matching trim, a console-mounted automatic shifter, factory-style tick-tock tachometer, simulated woodgrain instrument panel, and additional aftermarket gauges mounted beneath the dash. The listing also notes the speedometer is not currently functioning, though a replacement factory unit is included with the sale. The car comes with a Galen’s Registry report, broadcast sheet, receipts, and transferable New Hampshire registration.

This Super Bee feels less like a factory-correct restoration and more like an old-school street and strip build aimed at someone who enjoys big horsepower Mopars with attitude. The seller clearly leans into that image throughout the ad, right down to the electric cut-outs and police-car-derived power steering setup.
