This is a well known and very rare 1970 Challenger R/T for a couple of reasons: First, it is one of two 440 Magnum engine cars with the N96 Shaker Hood. Second is the V9R Bumblebee Stripe. It's not Rallye Red (FE5) . . . it's Scorch Red (ER6) - the only 1970 Challenger R/T to have that color Bumblebee Stripe.

For Chrysler/Dodge's first effort at a "themed" Muscle Car - the Coronet R/T was IMO a winner. It had lots of emblems, came standard with Hood Treatment, Redline Tires, Pin Stripes, Bucket Seats and your choice of Auto or 4 speed. When Chrysler saw that GM was limiting their cars to 400 cubic inches and Ford only had the 390, they made an excellent decision: go with the 440 instead of the 383. The only feature lacking (IMO) were Chrome Exhaust Tips which were standard on the 1968. Dodge sold almost 11,000 1967 Coronet R/Ts. Not bad for a car that listed for $3353. But adding things like a radio, power steering and brakes and Magnum 500 wheels put you in the $3750 price range - expensive for a Muscle Car. The convertible was $263 more.

IMO - THE most beautiful wheel ever offered to the public from an auto manufacturer: Pontiac's 8 Lug Wheel. Too bad it never made it onto the GTO.

You had three choices when it came to the 1970 Super Bee: New for 1970 quarter panel "C" Stripes (standard), Bumblebee Stripe (no cost option) or deleting the stripes altogether.
