1970 Dodge Coronet SuperBee Post Car, 1 of 1
By Dave Ashton
The Dodge Coronet SuperBee came out in 1968 as an affordable muscle car, based on the Coronet with a Roadrunner appearance. The SuperBee weighed in at 65 lb. more than the Road Runner and had a 117inch wheelbase compared to the 116inch Roadrunner. Bigger rear wheel openings, tail stripes, grille, taillight ornamentation, dash cluster from the Dodge Charger, and Bee badging set them apart visually.
This example thoroughly documented over at MoparConnection is 1 of 1, being a post car (originally ordered as ‘wanted a post car because his kids were young and he didn’t want them rolling up and down the back windows’) it’s already a rarity, but it was also ordered with loads of options.

A few test shot at the time down the drag strip at Napierville Drag Strip in Montreal, Quebec produced a time of 15.8s with the 3:23 gears on Polyglas tires.
The car has been given a few changes over the years – the seats have been recovered in high quality leather with the original pattern, 1981 fatter white stripes, 1969 Ford side mirrors, a 1966 B-body center armrest, console mounted vacuum gauge. it also at one point was given a Go-Wing and aftermarket antenna now removed. A muffler and both tail pipes have also been replaced.
A beautiful rarity one of one built in Canada and a true survivor.
