    Again, I must say I'm glad things worked out with you getting this car. For a moment I thought it wasn't going to work out, and this car would disappear and we Mopar nuts wouldn't know its outcome, but now it will have a Present and a Future that we all (especially Kevin) can see playout on your channel. Very good 😎👍

    Awesome man! Over the years, these cars have become cooler and cooler to me, to where they are now in my top 3 favorite dodges. I'm pretty stoked to see what you do with it man. Some people might not like the color combo. But, it being a weird one, I think it brought back to life with original colors would be super sweet to see. I've never seen a bee like that. Congrats on the passenger upgrade too lol (I dont know your business and hope i dont sound like a dick, just seen other comments so i wanted to say congrats)

    I was hoping you would buy that car. It is one of my bucket list cars. A close friend owned and restored a 70 Coronet R/T Hemi 4 Speed. We took it to Mecum in Chicago and got a very positive response. It was 1 of 5. - They called this the Lost Canadian car. It was a good trip, went to the Cuda Cave. Met lots of really nice people. Look forward to this build.

    In 1974 I was 14 and my Uncle, who resided in S.W. Virginia literally a stone's throw from Bristol TN. had a 1970 Super Bee. It was Baby Blue (not Petty Blue) with a White Vinyl Roof, White Interior had the 2 side vent Hood, if memory serves it was a 383 car, 4sp, not sure of the Diff but I do remember it did 2 wheel burnouts. And the thing about his car was it had a Daytona Wing, albeit half the height. I've only ever seen 2 Super Bees that had the wing...his and another Orange one I found online. I'm gonna be following THIS one closely...nice score! What's the plan for the Engine already in the Satellite?

    the gto sold the most in 1970. dodge in 70 copied the nose and ill tell you its a hell of a lot better than the gto. not only that but the last year for the coronet 2 door. in 1971 the coronet and satellite are based on the e-body platforms. years ago i had a 1973 plymouth satellite sebring plus with a 400 2 bbl, 3:23 with towing package. it towed good yes i put a tow hitch on it? it got 14-16 mpg. it also rode like a dodge power wagon. had them air shocks on it. had the power of a 318. that 70 reminds me of youre 68 charger that you pieced back together. ill be watching this one also. my 69 coronet got in a accident in september and luckily im fixing it. it looked like a train hit it. 35 mph t-bone. passenger frame rail passenger door were the flip out visor has a 1 inch gap. the crash was horrifiying. i lost the brakes. the brake pedal got hard had no assist. it will need more work but i have a freind who owns a body shop with a frame machine and he will figure it out.i bought the car 25 years ago it had a 318 in it and i put a 440 in it. ran it at the track ran 14.34 at about 98 mph low comp with stock cam. you know you allways want more. if i knew how to send a picture i would show how bad the car was. in the spring ill be taking it apart and putting it back together etc. the 440 also survived. i have a cut on my forehead that was the worst 15 stitches. anyway scaring you about this ill be watching the next build. you should put a parachute on that 70 when youre done.

    Nice, I never seen that color on a super bee, but then again, I'm chevy guy and don't keep track on mopar stuff. got little story, my uncle purchases a brand-new super bee 1970. order it with hemi,4 speed, blue with white interior, white strip. story he told me he went to pick it up and the car was blue with black interior and refused to take it. dealership reordered correct car and months later he got it, and the other car was sold. my uncle said he was kind of surprise the other car was sold, because insurance I guess was a big deal with muscle cars back then. if I'm correct there was only 26 hemi super bees sold and most were 4 speed hemi cars. both cars were sold in Madison wis. unfortunately, he rolled the car over in a rainstorm and drive train went into a drag car.
