1970 Super Bee RT

[Randall Miller]

Good day all. I sold my 72 GTX RR awhile back. Early getting it some told me that wasnt a thing and in fact, it was.

Thus leads me to today. Is there such thing as a 1970 Super Bee RT? I think I know....but I bet someone here knows they know.
Thanks,
Rudy

One or the other.

Nope

Either a Coronet, Coronet RT or Coronet Super Bee.

 

[Randall Miller]

I was pretty sure. Thanks for confirming.

Likely someone just put multiple badges on it.
It could be - neither...

In 71 a Charger could be a Super Bee or an R/T but that's a different subject.

Can you expound on this??
If it was, what was it??
Did the GTX become a package of sorts for '72?? Something that it was not in previous years.
Still require a certain powertrain like previous years??
A Road Runner could be a 400, offered in only one model... from what I've always heard, a GTX could not.

TIA, Lefty71

Blurb from wikipedia;
"For 1972 through 1974, any Road Runner ordered with the optional 440 was renamed Road Runner GTX and included the badging of both previous models."

I saw in the brochure, it no longer mentioned GTX as a model, but "GTX engines" were offered as optional.

You answered your own question.

72 was an odd year and Dodge and Plymouth did some things differently from each other.

Of course prior to 71 Charger and Super Bee couldn't have been the same car, but that year they could.

First two digits of the VIN WM=Super Bee, WS=R/T.

There were a couple hundred ish 72 GTX RR 440 Trac Pac Cars. It was enough of a thing I was turned off by the collector snobishness of it all. I liked mine. It's documented if u dig for the details.

The 4 speeds should all be Trac pics, correct?
There is one down the street, a younger fella is fixing up, he was a member here. Also, in the next city over, I knew a guy that had an auto with the Dana
