Welcome, great looking 70 Bee. I love the unique front end of a 70 Coronet R/T - Super Bee.

The '70 Super Bee front end was a love-it-or-hate-it design. I was always drawn to it for it's uniqueness. Dodge designers were very bold and brave back in the day to come up with that design and actually build it. One car I wish I had was a '70 Coronet station wagon...with that same front end. I remember driving around in the late 80's in my Charger, seeing a little old lady driving one of those Coronet wagons, and thinking "Damn that would be a cool daily driver!" I saw a beautifully restored one a few summers ago at a car show in Red Deer, Alberta...Sublime green with the "woody wagon" treatment. It was gorgeous.

Exactly right! Love or hate, no matter which side you're on, that boldness in automobile design can be appreciated by all classic cars lovers. In current times there would never be a one year only body style. I dig the '70 Coronet station wagons too. Probably not too many of those were saved. You would get definitely get attention with one of those!

Welcome from AZ...

I saw a Pontiac styling drawing and the car was a dead ringer for the 70 Dodge Coronet, except that it had a Pontiac beak in between the two front bumper loops. Even the grilles we exactly the same. My guess is that designer ended up a Dodge and took his drawings with him.

Welcome aboard, Greg the Lurker !! Hope to see you and your car in these parts this year at some of the events.

A decade before your car was built, I felt the same way about the 1960 Dodge Matador. My dad drive a '56 Dodge Sierra wagon in that era, and hated the 1960 Dodges.
