[moparstuart]

totally agree the best looking dodge body ever built  

I understand that there are fans of the '70 Coronet, but you can't be serious?  

totally serious they just look mean and tough  love them the best of all dodges  , but my favortie of all mopars is the 70 plymouth  of course when i buy my 70 coronet it will be a convertible     in fact i love them so much my plymouth has 70 coronets fenders and hood on it

they arent my favorite mopar, but i do like the look of them. enjoy your find, and heed the warning that was posted earlier to keep the yap shut till the car is in your garage.

I like them, they are unique.

Those 70's kick ass.

[TUFCAT]

Without doubt, the 70 Coronet is the ugliest B-body Chrysler ever built. Do society (and the Mopar hooby) a favor by parting it out rather than put it back on the street.

Dude I certainly wouldn't be THAT harsh Some people like them! However, I tend to agree with you in the kindest way//. Its a love or hate car, and I haven't fallen in love after 43 years on this planet.

love the 70 super bees. blue ones are the best

I am really a 68-69 fan in almost all Mopars but the 70's  come in a close 3rd in the Coronet/ R/T /Super Bee for me.

This is how a '71 super bee should of looked like! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn7iNIKEC7c&feature=related

I will admit that if it weren't for the 70 Coronet front clip, there would be no Superbirds. The nose cone is a 1,000% improvement.

Those that do not like them may have had a bad experience involving one in the past........

ha ha that would be my guess. no one else in my area knows about it and wont till its on my trailer.

One thing that you will have to be careful on it is that not all parts are available as reproduction items (Chargers do have more repo stuff on the market than the regular 70 Coronet/70 Superbees do).  It is an oddball in that it is really a one year only car with many unique parts to find (and you have to compete with the wing guys for the front end sheetmetal).  The grilles on the 70 Coronets are fairly hard to find and pretty fragile (prone to cracking, even more than charger grilles), so be prepared to pay some $$$ if they are missing from that car.  As other members have said, you are best off finding a nice 4 door 70 Coronet 440 car for parts, as this can be cheaper in the long run.  The days of finding mint 70 Coronet parts in junkyards is way past over.  I did it a decade ago, but was real lucky at the time to even find that......

Back in 2000, I missed out on a real panther pink 70 Superbee project car for a cheap price ($1500 at the time, yes I know how rare they are).  However I still have my rough (and very rusty) 70 top banana yellow/black Superbee as one of my projects.....

My brothers '70 in flat black, black C-stripes and Gator Grain roof.

[Richard Cranium]

The good thing about that '70 hood is that you can stick forklift blades in the scoop holes and pick the car up which makes it a breeze to work on the underside.

[GPULLER]

 

Your talk like its a frickin CAMARO or something!!!

[Patronus]

I want to do a '70 with hide-aways next, like the Charger.

[Brock Samson]

  sounds like a candidate for the photoshop thread..

OH that RED BUBBLE on top! It still sends a chill through me (and my wallet!) The bane of my existence in my younger years!

I like your brothers taste in cars...

[lee2]

that is an amazing car. flat black and a black c stripe are awsome. and i like the idea of hide-aways on it too.

[BIGBLCK11]

The flat black 70 looks very cool!  It is ironic that many of you prefer a loop bumper on a Coronet, but not a Charger. Go figure. 

[Black Charger]

I love the flat black '70s Bee also. That is really sinister looking!

[lee2]

I think that the loop bumpers look more sinister on the coronets because of the split in the middle. To me the front end looks like it it could be just glaring at you.

[Bob T]

I really like em. Granted it is quite a polarising car with the loop front end but I have always like the individual appeal of them. Very rare out here
Here's a friends FK5 70 R/T,

Is the rear window shape unique to the 70 Coronet??
