What an awesome MOPAR! MOPARs have always had a special place in my heart, especially since my family had a 1966 Dodge Coronet 440, albeit the typical family 4 door sedan in beige. I am so glad this R/T has the MOPAR rally wheels, my absolute favorite wheels. These wheels were on my black 1973 Dodge Charger SE Brougham...excellent combination! While I totally understand that it’s a show car, the owner should drive this bad boy. Cars are meant to be driven!! Thanks Lou...what a great find!
Hi Rusty, High praise for this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
I'd trailer it to nice big parking lots & or the drag strip. There's way way way to many horrible drivers & haters out nowadays that just don't care or hate this car because they're looking for "climate justice". I had a 73 charger se brougham also when I was in high school & man do I wish I still had her. It was originally gold with white buckets & black carpet, slap stick w/ black console. No a/c & a 400 4 bbl.
The grilles on those '70 Coronets are so evil looking.
In such a good way :-)
They are supposed to resemble bees wings.
That's what i always said to myself evil & mean look'n. & that's why it's my favorite Mopar.
@@thehuntx Well, that car is certainly the bee's knees.
Throughout the fifties and then more into the late sixties, they were making cars more aggressive looking for the muscle car crowd! They designed this front end to resemble bee wings, as well as the Coronet and Super Bee taillights!
If I could travel back in time to 1970 and had to choose between the Challenger, Cuda or Coronet. For me, it would be the Coronet hands down. Of Mopars muscle offerings for 1970 the Coronet was and still is underappreciated. Absolutely gorgeous!!! Two thumbs up and...my left kidney!! :)
Hi jcnme27, High praise & a kidney too :-) Lou
I have to agree with you ! I would take the coronet over a charger or a roadrunner also !
jcnme27 actually I did buy 1970 Coronet 500, etc. new.....
I drove a 70 Coronet 500 all through college in the early 80s. Same rear panel but a 383 4 727 and every option except electric windows. Fast, fun and reliable.

Very nice! This model didn't enjoy the
popularity of previous and subsequent
years, but I always liked it
Hi 20alphabet, Glad you enjoy this car. Cars have an amazing way of looking better with time, Lou
Very nice! I'd be tempted too, to drive this beast. It looks & sounds great! Thanks for finding & sharing Jerry & his Coronet w/us, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Glad you enjoy this car. I'd like to take this car for a spin too :-) Lou
My brother had the same car back in the 70’s and then ended up selling it for $3.500 they came from Georgia to Detroit to haul it on a trailer, I really miss that car, I can still hear it screaming from a mile away in my thoughts
Happy to read this car / video brings back memories of your Brothers car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing.
Ok Lou ... now you posted my favorite coronet ! Something about that split front end that I've always loved and 440 six pack makes this a BIG WINNER !!!! Thanks for reading my mind again Lou !
Hi Fred Naught, "BIG WINNER" :-) You're welcome, Lou
I love the 70 Coronet R/T and Super Bee. Many people don't because of the front end styling but I would've bought one over a Roadrunner/GTX in 1970 just for that reason. Really awesome car. I could never have a car like this and just not drive it
Glad to read you enjoy this "awesome" car :-)
Another AMAZING Mopar on the BEST TH-cam car channel. Thank you so much Lou.
Hi Cheops2112, Glad you enjoy this "AMAZING" Mopar :-) Appreciate the kind words on this Channel, Lou
seen one of those here in germany of all places some 10 years ago- guy even had a kid in a babyseat in it- totally badass.

Awesome car but sad to hear he doesn’t drive it, that’s what they were built for! Go out and enjoy it! Another great video, cheers.
Hi Mean Green R/T 392, Thank you for viewing and sharing, and I like riding in them too, and I can respect the amount of work on this car he wants to show it. Give it time, sometimes they end up getting driven sparingly again on nice sunny days :-) Lou
Superb car. A fine job as usual, Lou. Thanks for your work!
HI Nick S, Glad to read you enjoy this car :-) It's my pleasure and you're welcome, Lou
What a beautiful beast. Love that front end. Another great vid Lou!
Hi Mountain Climber, "Beautiful Beast" - Nice :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing such kind words on the video, it's appreciated, Lou
This car is about as sick as it can get simply outstanding 100-point car I can tell
High praise for this car :-)
That has to be the nicest one I have seen in decades. Thanks Lou.
Hi jon lennon, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
In September of 68 I was on my way to school and saw a new 68 Coronet that was white with nice rear lights , but later on there was also a yellow 68 Charger with black roof and interrior .
Dodge had some really nice designs where most of us kids too young to drive.... did know that if we couldn't ID the car it must be a dodge . FORD and Chevrolet played it safe with minor changes ... but Dodge took the risks and i always remember the details on the dash for the luxury up scale cars.
Hi Gary wood, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge and adding to the story, Lou
Love the Coronet, and your right Lou, its a Bad Boy!!
HI Ed B., A Bad Boy In such a good way :-) Lou
Hey Lou. Beautiful looking 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T. I've not seen one in a very long time. :)
Hey Jason, Glad to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) I find that not seeing them for awhile really makes you appreciated them more when you do see one, Lou
That's a Sweet 🎂 70 RT !!!👍
Happy to read you enjoy this "Sweet" car :-)
thanks Lou cool pistol grip thank you of the sound and your service
Hi George Shadrick, Glad you enjoy this car :-) I do too. You're welcome, Lou
I love how Mopars of this vintage designed the front bumper(s) as grille surrounds, making it seem like they had no bumpers at all. It was so slick. The Plymouths looked equally as cool.
Hi Todd Wall, Thank you for viewing and sharing the details you enjoy :-) Lou
I love the sound. Clean car Jerry!
Nice :-)
This is one of the most beautiful Mopars I've ever seen. What an incredible piece of American Muscle.
Hi Jeff Otto, High praise :-) Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Gorgeous!
Hi Jason Maiden, Glad to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Lou another GEM...Good Job!
High praise :-) Thank you.
I love those old trunks, you could put 2 bags of groceries and a prius in there!!
Nice :-)
Thanks Lou.
My pleasure :-)
Nice video Lou. As usual. In France, US Muscles are so rare. I drive a 2012 CTS-V Coupe 6 speed manual and I love it !
HI Alex Chris, Thank you for the kind words on the video. Sounds like you're driving a head turner in France, nice :-) Lou
@@loucostabile ahah yes ! But nobody knows what it is. Here, they swear by german cars only :-(
Damn thats a dream car great fine lou if i owned that car i would drive it everywhere with my kid👍
HI Daniel Alvarez, Glad you enjoy this one :-) I like driving them too, Lou
Great car. Great video
Hi acts2211, Win / Win :-)
Lovley car. A Blackbeauty all days in a week.Love it.
Hi Olle Haggman, Glad to read you "love it" :-) Lou
I'd like to say I've seen one of those but , I don't think I have . Another cool MOPAR Lou . Thanks .
Hi Bud Lee, lad to share a unique Mopar with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Wow!! so nice,sounds really mean
Happy to receive a "Wow!!" from you :-)
So Lou, if you could've just heard me say "holy shit" when I saw this video, you'd know how good you did with this car. I believe the grille is supposed to look like the scat pack bee's goggles
Hi Korie Creson, I had to put your comment from the "Held for review" :-) Thank you for the high praise on this episode, Lou
Hi Lou! Awesome car! Beautiful color!
Hi Joseph Romano, High praise :-) Lou
Always liked these 70 models! 😍😎👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Hi Duececoupe, Glad to read you like this one :-) Lou
Nothing cooler than this right here
Hi Kelly, High praise :-) Lou
Stunning- so clean and great colors- would love to know how he “converted” lol- great job 💪
Glad you enjoy this "Stunning" car George :-) Lou
Thanks, great overviews... My new 1970 Coronet500/ auto/383/315 Horse, Ralley Red, Black Vinyl, BlacK Interior/ console/PS/PB ; SERVED WELL daily use for some 14 years Family uses: Warsaw IND rusted out terribly, etc. the transmission and engine seemed to be strong, although gas Mileage was terrible. Though, I did switch to electronic Ignition,did fouls spark plugs sometimes quickly, and to Monroe Overload shocks last couple years as : suspension wore loose too. Worked a lot on that car, as my first new one after Pharmacy School, etc.. Interestingly, I did not buy a new 1970 Challenger 4SPD/383 Magnum etc from same Dealer adjacent to Thornburg Drug Store in Syracuse , IN : Was also an AMC DEALER FOR several years...
Hi Opera, You're welcome. Glad you found a home on the right TH-cam Channel for you :-)
You can have your Lamborghini and Ferrari if I ever win the lottery I'm driving around in something like this.
Nice :-) Hope your ticket pays off for you soon.
She is a beauty Lou. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome.
very nice .
Glad you like this one Roger :-)
sounds healthy nice restoration on that 70 dodge
Glad you enjoy this car larry borkstrom :-)
Amazing black devil:) very cooled my favorit chrysler machines 440 six pack vs 426 hemies
Hi egoss, Happy to read this is a favorite of yours :-) NICE! Lou
Rare car !! And color ! Maybe talk more about history and documentation rather than the sound of the exaust "at idle", Especially when probably less than 20 of these cars ( color and combo ) were made. You're finding great cars Lou ! Keep it up !
Hi Steven Rains, Glad to read you enjoy the rarity of this car, and thank you for the encouragement and sharing a tip too, Lou
it's fast nice car !
Just the way we like it :-)
Menacing looks! Bee wing front end!
Enjoy reading the details you see :-)
That's one beautiful mopar classic there nice in black sounds great plus I didn't know they made a cornet with that motor. The owner has more discipline than I would I'd want to drive a little at least on the weekends anyway.
HI Pete Medina, Glad you read you enjoy the looks of this classic :-) I like to drive them too, Lou
clock overlaid on top of the tach- awesome looking!!!
Hi postaltraining, Glad to read you enjoy the details :-) Me too, Lou
Excelente
Happy to read you enjoy this car :-)
BEAUTIFUL CAR.......I can see where the SUPER BEE came from.....!!
Hi Mike, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
I always thought the Coronet model was a 4door version of the Charger. I didn't know there was a 2door Coronet. Very little difference between the 2door Coronet a a Charger.
That front end though, it looks so mean! :-)
Thanks for another cool car video!
Hi Ray S, Glad to read you learned something (I find when I'm learning it's so FUN). Regarding the video, you're welcome, Lou
The Charger was based on the Coronet from 66-70. The first time Dodge used the R/T emblem on a car was the 67 Coronet R/T followed by the Charger in 68. Cornets came in convertibles, 2 door, 4 door and station wagons. Starting in 71 the Charger replaced the 2 door coronet.
@@markg7030
Interesting. I wonder why they had 2 different models of essentially the same car. Maybe the Charger was the more "luxury" model.
I have always wanted to collect the 66 - 74 model Chargers. The 68 is my favorite because of the round tail lights and also I'm a 68 model myself
love to have 1 :)
That would be fun :-)
O,best,best,super! I want in my garage this is car!
:-)
My very 1st favorite mopar, I absolutely positively love this outstanding tx9 with white stripe r/t.
The car isn't worth a million dollars but if I had a million I'd buy it. Well I'd give him $300,000.
When I die and go to heaven I'm going to borrow this from Jesus himself.
Hi Korie Creson, Glad to read this is a "Heavenly" car for you. Make sure you give me a ride, Lou
@@loucostabile damn right Lou !
Always sad to see one of these beast chained down by the owner but I understand it. If he spent the money restoring it, he can do what he pleases with it. Not many R/T’s were made in black.
Hi Brady Dog, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts. Lou
Of course the Chevy guy puts the trunk key in jagged edge down. Cool car!

Me gusta el carro; un Dodge Coronet 1970 Super Bee; tiene un motor 440 TNT; pura dinamita; muy bonito siempre me ha gustado el Dodge Coronet desde el de dos puertas, cuatro puertas y ranchera; siempre me ha gustado; Sincrónico saludos
Hi Jose, Happy to read you have always liked this model car :-) Lou
AHHH Mopar, The brand, That stays out of the Ford and Chev fights ( more or less ) And let a Chev or a Ford fan can BOTH enjoy,
Love the 70 Coronets , Those grills.. SO sinister looking :D Cars had anget and passion in them days

Hi LIBERTY MAN, Glad to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
👍😎👍
:-)
My little league team picture was taken inside the Golf View Dodge Dealership (Morton Grove ILL) showroom in 1971.. unfortunately in the background was only a Lime Green Dart maybe a "Swinger" and a yellow Pick up .. no Hemi's or RT's ..uughh
Sounds like this video brings back fun memories :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Car looks Evil, I know it's worth a ton of money but you gotta drive it a little, I know stone chips and idiots in Toyotas have no regard, but it is fabulous, thanks for another great one Lou
Hi Pontiac GrandPrix73, "Car looks Evil"... in such a good way :-) You're welcome, Lou
my parents use to own a 76 coronet.
it was a piece of junk.LOL
Ouch :-(
@@loucostabile actually I believe it was a 1971.
Hey lou what is your favorite car?
Hi 1997 Daniel Flores, Thank you for asking. I have some favorites, however if I had to say one, here is a link to mine. What's yours? Lou th-cam.com/video/eRmPk_ITrBs/w-d-xo.html
@@loucostabile 1980 Oldsmobile Delta Eighty-eight
Beautiful r/t but there's no way I wouldn't drive my favorite year coronet
ba ba ba ba bad
lol
:-)
Lou? Do you think Jerry would let me Borrow this Absolutely Pristine Example of this 1970 Coronet RT? 100 point car for sure. Bad to the bone is right.
Hi gene978, Of course he would, Lou
I like steak shift 😍
:-)
Sweeet 😀
Hi Michael Coffey, Glad to read you enjoy this "Sweet" car :-) Lou
😀@@loucostabile
Hot take, but I find the 1970 Coronet meaner and better looking than the 1970 Charger. 1969 and 1968 Chargers are the most badass, along with 1971 Challenger.

Awesome Lou《☆》Wow it's like new :*: The lack of driving really preserves underhood appearance. Good effort but she's a little cold natured ☻
Hi BDOG JR, Glad to receive a "Wow" :-) Yes, we tried to get her warm, however it was not to be this time, Lou
Once you go MOPAR you never go back
Nice :-)
1970 Mopar 440 six packs are like F-14 Tomcats >>>FAST as HELL but EATS GAS like CRAZY
Not fast at all....the real horsepower was not 395 but 325, and any modern 2019 Dodge with V-8 will smoke it, plus only 8/11 mpg.
Just the way we lie them :-)
Shame he does not USE IT....I could NEVER have a car like this and NOT DRIVE IT....I had a 1970 Dodge Charger its really the same car..Mine started life as a 318 but when I got some cash it got a 360 Police interceptor motor ...THEN it was a Muscle car...kept my Charger 500 from 1973 till 1987
HI Steve Dwyer, I like driving them too, and thank you for viewing and sharing some of your story on your 1970 Charger, and that's a cool car too :-) Lou
You know how I've said many times "Jesus would drive this car" well this is the car the God the father wouldn't let Jesus drive, it's too bad ass.
HIGH PRAISE !
That's a beautiful car and I understand he has a ton of money in it,but you have to take them out and let them "strech their legs" on occation.
Hi TheRacerbrown, Happy to read you enjoy the looks and effort to build this car :-) I like driving them too, Lou
Do these owners get paid to bring their cars to the show?
Most times you pay a fee to be in the show.
Before I forget, sometimes at some shows the "best car" determined by the Judges might win some prize money.
Love it. I had a 70 R/T 440-4 BBl, 4 Speed once - I have a six pack 70 Super Bee now!!!
This car was on Graveyard Cars - Wasnt it? ... th-cam.com/video/G8LnNJM7U1U/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Lou!! we hope to see you around this Summer!!
Hi Jeff Priem, Glad to read you "love it" :-) You had a fun car too. If you see me, make sure you say hello, Lou
Hail Mary mother of God!
Preach it Brother Michael :-)
and he don't drive it :( sad
I like driving them too.
5 M.P.G (IF) you don't race it to much
Hi Steve Dwyer, Smiles per gallon :-) Lou
I suppose if the DEVIL came to a event. He would be driving this car.

There’s nothing hard to find for that car, try buying parts for a 68 barracuda lol
Thank for viewing and sharing. Hope you find those 68 Barracuda parts you're looking for.
I'd drive the Heck out of her. Enjoy the thing you only live 1 time. Scratch it, fix it. Do burn outs, it's meant for that.
Nice :-)
