1970 Coronet Pictures...deluxe,4dr,440,500,wagon,rag or R/T!

Unclear about "with manual transmission only".
Does that mean for the Deluxe model?

I just posted an N code 383-4 Coronet 440 with 727.

My understanding - which may or may not be accurate:
Deluxe/440/500 with 383-4/auto, and anything with A/C, get the "383 Four Barrel" 330hp cam Blue/Carter engine
Superbees (with any transmission), and those above with manual transmission get the "383 Magnum" (sometimes called the Superbee or Roadrunner engine) 335hp cam Orange/Holley.
Add A/C to a Superbee and you get the blue engine (I assume because of the cam/idle) and now you have a "non-Superbee-engined Superbee" - go figure.

I don't think that was the case in 1970.
68 and 69, yes.
I just learned that myself a couple years ago from a very knowledgeable member here on FBBO.

It still doesn't clear up the info in the literature above, though.

Here's some notes I have - for whatever they're worth. I don't recall where I found this at - it is someone else's OC. I see the auto-A/C '089' assembly is indeed 335/orange

084 - 383/4, manual, a/c, painted blue, 330hp 1970
085 - 383/4, auto, no a/c, blue, 330 hp 1970
086 - 383-4bbl, automatic, A/C, Blue, 330hp, Carter 4732, B/E Body 1970 trans 668
087 - 383-4bbl, manual w/o A/C, orange, 335hp, Holley, B/E body 1970 carb 36 trans 674
088 - 383/4, auto, no a/c, orange HP, 335hp 1970 carb 42 trans 668
089 - 383/4, auto a/c, orange, 335hp 1970

PS Edit: 086 is what I have in my '70 500 A/C auto and all this jibes with my broadcast

Poor choice of wording.

I just posted an N code 383-4 Coronet 440 with 727.

I’m not sure I thought it was showing both transmissions. I was surprised to see that the deluxe model could come with a 383 magnum that’s pretty cool.

Found and scanned another pic of my Bee.

Dang, I wish I still had that car!

 

[Big bill]

Cool car what year was that pic taken?

 

[YY1]

1989-ish

I had it from 88 to 94.

Sold it to a couple two small towns over, which I have been through and around hundreds of times since then, and have never seen it or seen it advertised for sale.

That place has lots of project cars for sale.

That is by far the best deal/value of any of them.

What is 'that place'?

 

[Coelacanth]

I'm sure there are more than a few of "those places", but their locations are shrouded in mystery.

Prolific ebay lister in TX.

At least 4 listed at a time.

All Mopar.

Some seem like decent deals.

Some do not.

They also list restored cars.

70 318 car, burnt orange interior, in a yard in the 90s. This car was missing the passenger side door and the grills but thats it. Always seemed to be a halfway decent car. Hope it got out of there somehow...
