This example takes the formula further with a 440ci V8, Crower camshaft, Edelbrock intake, Holley carburetor, and Hedman headers. The current owner bought it out of Texas in 2016, and both the engine and 3-speed automatic were rebuilt in 2020. Bidding stands at $15,000 with 6 days remaining.1970 Dodge Super BeeBring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowThe headline market numbers need context because they include much more valuable factory 440 Six Pack and Hemi cars. The current Classic.com 1970 Super Bee market page carries a Classic.com Market Benchmark of $75,939. Recent results include an original or highly original automatic selling for $77,000 in July 2026 and a 43,000-mile manual selling for $48,299 in June.AdvertisementAdvertisementValuation guides aimed at the original 383 specification give a more realistic starting point for this chassis. Hagerty's 1970 Super Bee valuation page places a 383ci, 335-horsepower hardtop in #3 good condition at $34,700. J.D. Power's 1970 Super Bee guide lists $31,400 for average retail and $46,700 for high retail. Those numbers matter here because the VIN identifies this car as an original 383 example rather than a factory 440 Six Pack car.1970 Dodge Super BeeBring a TrailerActual sales reinforce the mid-$30,000s as the right neighborhood. This example gains appeal from its rebuilt 440 and sinister presentation but loses collector value because the original engine is gone and current issues include rust, an oil leak, missing wipers, and non-working air conditioning. Fair value lands between $30,000 and $40,000, with $36,000 most likely.Condition and detailsThe car is finished in black with orange Super Bee graphics and C-shaped side stripes. Exterior details include twin hood scoops, simulated side scoops, quad headlights, chrome bumpers, dual exhaust outlets, and black 15-inch steel wheels wearing BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires installed in 2020. Rust is visible on the rear bumper and beneath the hood frame, and the windshield wipers are not installed.1970 Dodge Super BeeBring a TrailerInside, black vinyl covers the front and rear bench seats, with Rallye instrumentation including a 150-mph speedometer and 8,000-rpm tachometer. Vintage Air climate control has been added, but the seller says its compressor does not activate. There is also an open hole in the dashboard where a radio was previously installed.1970 Dodge Super BeeBring a TrailerThe 440ci V8 was installed before the current ownership and rebuilt in 2020 with a Crower hydraulic flat-tappet camshaft, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold, Holley 4-barrel carburetor, K&N air cleaner, Mopar Performance rocker covers, and Hedman headers. Engine internals, the distributor, and radiator were replaced during the rebuild, while the TorqueFlite automatic was rebuilt at the same time. Fluid leakage is currently visible from the oil pan.1970 Dodge Super BeeBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeDodgeModelSuper BeeYear1970Mileage98,000 miles shownEngineModified 440ci V8PowerNot stated for the modified engineOriginal engine383ci V8Transmission3-speed TorqueFlite automaticDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorBlack with orange stripesInterior colorBlack vinylCurrent bid$15,000 with 6 days remainingInterested in this car? View the listing here.What makes the Super Bee uniqueDodge created the Super Bee as its answer to Plymouth's Road Runner, putting big-block performance into a simpler and more affordable B-body package. For 1970, the car received its most distinctive front end, with the split grille and looped bumper design that became unique to the model year. Hemmings' history of the 1970 Super Bee records 11,540 hardtops and 3,966 coupes produced that year.1970 Dodge Super BeeBring a TrailerFactory engine choices ranged from the 383ci Magnum V8 to the 440 Six Pack and 426 Hemi. Hagerty lists the standard high-performance 383 at 335 horsepower, while the 440 Six Pack produced 390 horsepower and the Hemi 425 horsepower. That distinction is important here. This car has a 440 today, but its N-code VIN identifies it as a factory 383 car, so it should not receive the collector premium attached to an original V-code Six Pack.The 1970 model also marked the final year for the Super Bee as a Coronet-based model. Dodge moved the name to the Charger for 1971, making the split-grille 1970 version a 1-year design at the end of the original Coronet Super Bee run. That combination of short production history, unusual styling, and big-block performance keeps even modified examples relevant in the collector market.My takeMy call is $36,000, with $40,000 possible if bidders value the rebuilt 440 and black-over-black presentation more than originality. The broader Classic.com benchmark near $76,000 is misleading for this particular car because that market includes original Six Pack cars, Hemi cars, and substantially stronger restorations. Hagerty's $34,700 good-condition figure for a factory 383 Super Bee and J.D. Power's $31,400 average retail figure are much more useful anchors.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe engine swap is not automatically a negative if the goal is to drive it. A rebuilt 440 with a cam, intake, carburetor, and headers fits the character of a Super Bee well. The problem is that collector pricing rewards factory configuration, and this car also has several unfinished items. The oil leak needs attention, the air conditioning does not work, the wipers are absent, and visible rust remains. At $36,000, there is enough discount from a stronger original car to make the modifications and needed work make sense without pretending it is something the VIN says it is not.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
