1970 Dodge Superbee

A short-lived nameplate, the Super Bee was Dodge’s low-priced muscle car and an alternative to the Plymouth Road Runner in the late 1960s. Based on the Coronet from 1968 to 1970, the Super Bee became a version of the Dodge Charger in 1971, its final year on the market. Dodge sold only 106 Super Bees fitted with the 440-cubic-inch (7.2-liter) V8 and a four-speed manual gearbox in 1970. Dodge’s second-most powerful option after the iconic 426-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) Hemi, the 440 V8 was rated at 390 horsepower and 490 pound-feet (664 Nm) of torque in 1970.
