I heart '70 Coronets.

A member had this brochure posted in his album. I haven't come across any pics of 1970 Coronet R/T's with the red trim around the grille. The red didn't make it onto the production cars??

The R/T badge on the side scoop appears to sit proud while I've seen pics where it's recessed into the scoop??

I hand painted red trim around the grill of mine.
The grills are worth their weight in gold. They can fetch 1500 per side or more.
CI is making repops. I need to get one because as one would suspect they are backordered.
My only complaint is that they didn't come from the factory in Curious Yellow.

Hmmm.

This Super Bee has a flat section between the front bumpers:

whereas, this R/T has a pronounced V. Learning something new...I love it

The 500's got the simulated chrome side scoop, the R/T's got the R/T scoop and the Super Bee got nothing? Rallye dash R/T only, so I've found.

C stripes available on both R/T and Super Bee? Much to learn.....

C-Stripes Super Bee only.
Dual Scoops could be had on either R/T or Super Bee.
440 4-barrel R/T only

Dual Scoops could be had on either R/T or Super Bee....

Dual HOOD scoops, yes? Not side scoops (they have the R/T badge on them)....or were side scoops available sans badges?

I prefer the Power Bulge hood over the dual scoop hood myself with the C stripe.

Yowza.

Do you know whether the front bumpers are changeable side to side?? Just flip them over, or are they handed?

Edit: Figured it out, bolts are on the bottom so can't flip them.

Here's another brochure pic with red trim around the grille, this time on a 500. Yet to see a pic of an actual car with red trim, though.

I agree. I have a 70' Road Runner project car but I would trade it for a 70' Coronet or Super Bee project any day. Or even a 69' Coronet or Super Bee also.
