First Time Mopar Owner

[70SuperBee70]

Hello, my wife and I just bought our first Mopar... It's a 1970 Dodge Super Bee 383. We are new to classic car ownership and have a lot of learning to do. Hopefully, we can tap into the expertise of this Forum's members to help us along the way.

Welcome ! I gotta tell ya, the 70 Super Bee has grown on me through the years as a bad-*** looking car, and yours fits that description ! Love those Cragars and that stance !

Thanks... We do love the look and the lines on this car. Having a little engine trouble at the moment. Wants to stall out going down the road. It starts back up but stalls about every half mile (the stalling begins after about 5-8 miles into the ride). I need to start tracing the problem.

Start a thread, you'll get a ton of advice.

Dark green exterior with Cragars is one of my favorites.

Congratulations on the acquisition!

Automatic or 4 speed manual?

Welcome from NY.
Perhaps you know but it's very important to use an oil with zinc to protect the camshaft and lifters
Nice one

Beautiful Super Bee. I loved the '70 model styling back in the day, and love it even more nowadays.

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario. Thanks for your pictures of your "new" car. Try changing your coil. Make sure it is one that is meant to run with a resistor.
