My First car was a 1972 Datsun 510 2dr when I was 14, can't believe iv had it for 12 years. It was my great Grandmas car she bought used in 1976 from our local Nissan dealer.
I learned to do my first efi engine swap in it (ka24de) and also paint and bodywork ( needs redone ), I never plan on selling it and hope to keep changing and making memories with it!
I love seeing cars and hearing stories like this!

I love the black hood, leave it as is. It gives it a really great pro street look.
Man, you've been bustin' your ass working and you still somehow found time to crank out a video for us.
Thanks Dave!
David Freiburger, hear my cries. I miss Roadkill. Even though it was supposed to remain free for the world, I find myself at the bleeding edge of the globe in New Zealand, geo-blocked from accessing any of MTOD's content.
I miss you guys. I was hooked by TH-cam, paid to help stave off depression and now I'm blocked from everything. I could deal with the endless app bugs and desktop UI issues to sit down for an hour and watch you guys tool on cars on Roadkill Garage, but that is unfortunately no longer. I can only describe it as being cheated out of my favorite show.
All the best.
Still your biggest fan regardless.

I had same problem from Australia. I changed my default location from Australia to America on the App Store. Downloaded the app and then changed it back
DV7Dave Thanks for the heartfelt note. I’m sorry it’s a corporate thing that I can’t solve.
I know. After I wrote that, I did some digging. It's just...Frustrating.
same for the uk i think
Paint the hood sparkly gold just to screw with Finnegan...
Yaaaaaaaaas!
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A DEAD CHANNEL ITS NOT!!!!SWEET!!!!
My grandad was driving by a field one day and he sees this car and he's like " I think that's my first car" so he pull over and asked the dude about the car and he said something like " my father bought it form this dude that was going to collage and needed to pay for it and I got it from him and it's just sat there for ever". And my grandad asked do you remember the name of the dude or do have the paperwork and goes and ll the and my grandad sold his dad that car like 40 years go and he completely restored it to the he had that car and I really hope you never sell that super bee because what if you never find it like my grandad got super lucky.
Black hood is way meaner! I’d like to see that burnt orange interior tho. David you’re a legend in the car scene!
If you have 4 hoods
Orange
Black
Orange with black scoop
Black with orange scoop
Might as well have it all covered
we were all juvenile delinquents if you were a motor head in high school,,

Not sure if it caused trouble or kept me out of worse trouble 😂😂
I would love to hear more of these stories from back in the day
Not even. join motortrend. Seriously, great site.
thats awesome David. in the 35 years i had literally close to 100 cars or more. i wish i was like you. i let a lot of good cars go.
Thanks David, Great video about the Super Bee. I still have had my 1st car 1973 Mazda rx3. Have owned it for 33 years almost as long as you. Cheers.
That's cool!
Rotary power!!!
Leave the hood black. Makes the orange pop and Stand out better I think
Leave it black looks like a drag car more and it will also give it some characters in it #black hood
Great to see you, Freiburger- missed you since Roadkill went ppv. Leave the hood black!
5 bucks a month wow that's expensive
Leave the hood black. It looks phenomenal, absolute dream car!
the black hood has been an iconic part of the car ever since i first saw the car in 2013, keep it blackkk
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU HAD A TH-cam CHANNEL, BUT I AM GLAD I FOUND IT!!!!
Black hood for sure!
Keep the black hood it gives the car the iconic David Freiburger super bee
I used to watch roadkill all the time, then motor trend came in and stoped uploading it to TH-cam. Good times. You have insanely inconsistent upload time Frieburger
My 1st car was a 79 f150. My 1st muscle car was a 73 javelin/amx. I bought it in 2000 from a backyard in Fleetwood, pa (where they used to make the old Cadillac bodies before production was made in house in Detroit. The building was still there and in used as a wood factory until a few years ago when it burned to the ground. Hence the name Cadillac Fleetwood, named as an homage to that factory), where it had sat since 1992 for $550. Towed it home, replaced the battery cables, the battery and rebuilt the carb and it fired right up. Daily drove it until 2003 and drove it occasionally until 2005. It now sits in the backyard. It needs a ton of work (some that should of been done when I bought it, some from driving it and some from it sitting). It’s rough but still a solid starting point. I’ve got it running and it was able to move under its own power several times since but life gets in the way and I end up have to stop working on it. I’ve considered selling it several times (and almost had it sold once) but I know if I did, I’ll never be able to replace it.
I’ve been following the super bee for years and love the fact that despite all the cars you’ve had over the years, you still kept your first one. Not many can say they still have their 1st car.
You’ve had that car as long as I have been alive. I’ll be 35 next month.
I say leave it black, black and orange go really well together, classic tough street car look. 👍🏻
Need to yell at Finnegan to finish that c-10!!
Polishing the wheels to my first truck as this plays. You have been a big inspiration
I miss Roadkill.
Black hood is unique! Keep it
Black hood looks nice
I get a good laugh that you have owned it as long as I have been alive. But its such a great car. Something special about the 70's mopar's :) . I own a 70 barracuda myself :)
Black! The black hood is the iconic hot rod Mopar look. My 69 440 Roadrunner looked so much meaner with a flat black hood. Painted is nice, but the black attack is better.
Some people celebrate there marriages, or celeberate graduation, no this man celebrates having this car for 35 years. Good on ya
Keep hood black. My family has a 1969 Pontiac LeMans that both my brother and I drove to high school (back in 2002-2006). My dad bought an aftermarket GTO hood for it, which came primed black, and we installed it and told ourselves “we’ll paint it someday.” To this day (2018) it is still black. We get lots of comments on how cool it looks. I think it is how the car wants to look like. Very unique and badass looking!
Bought my 1970 Monte in 1983 as well! Still have it too. Congrats David on holding on to it.
Never sell your first classic,people. Held mine for 17 years. Freiburger was the only time i had signed up for car craft / hot rod subscriptions(he even printed my letter to editor in car craft)Keep on dave
,youre the man!👍👍
Keep up the good work David. You and the RK family are an inspiration to so many people who can''t justify the money for a "perfect" car. My ratty 79 Firebird is plenty of fun just like it is.
NapalmNate Thanks!
Nice ride, my dad owned the only convertable super bee ever made, it was the show car introducing the new model year and was shown around the country at state fairs were he first saw it, it was the Florida State Fair.. Had a 440 4 barrel, Pearl Yello that faded to white down the sides also chrome side pipes bottom of the doors. Bucket seats, console shifter, black hood like yours.
The sad thing is people were always taking pics of it every where he went but he doesn't have one pic of it. Matter of fact Mopar magazine did a story on it several years ago and all they had was a small black and white profile shot of it. The paint started cracking and it was going to cost a bundle to correct so he sold it.
My uncle kept up with it for a while but told me some young kid ended up with it and wrapped it around a power pole. Boy how I wish my dad was a car guy and would have just kept it, can you imagine what that thing would be worth today.
Dave, we are the same age and my 1st car was a '55 Chevy. My Dad had a ton of different cars growing up and he wanted to get me something we could work on together. So at 15 years old, we started working on that 55 Chevy with a 327 & 4 speed muncie. We got it back on the street and I drove it to high school and prom. Sold it to a buddy when I was in college.. It's still in the area and 2 years ago his son drove it to prom at my same high school. Gotta love it!
My dad had a 70 super bee in go mango with white butt stripe with the burnt orange interior. 383 magnum auto on the floor. Loved that thing now we have a bunch of MoPars
Keep the hood matte black. Breaks up some of the orange and looks badass.
Totally
Funny if all the HOT ROD guys started doing videos together on YT.
I been subbed to David for years, glad to see some content, good luck!
I love the fact you still have your 70 superbee. You should do something special to it to replace the old architecture hemi
HOLY shit man when you lifted that sleeve my room got brighter
icykickflip basement dweller? Mountain dew and Doritos.
Leave it black but put the super bee emblem on the front of the hood that Bee would pop on that black hood
Black...the car on your shirt looks yellow to me,by the way.
I hope this channel does not end up on demand 😉😉😉
The black hood makes the car for me, every time I’ve seen it since the revival a decade ago when I was just about to start high school it’s always been that way and if I had one myself I’d probably have to do a black hood or it wouldn’t seem right considering this is the second car to the fast and furious charger that got me into mopars in the first place
Leave it black. But your friends were badass for helping to finish your car in the hosiptal.
Love the car! Leave the hood black.
I personally love the look of the Go Mango with the black custom Hemi hood. That combination (in my opinion), is what makes it Freiburgers Super Bee. Keep that hood on, unless it overheats, then of course take the hood off lol.
orange and black for sure thats a beautiful car as it sits i love it
Orange hood, black scoop
Jason Rackawack Would you please give my racing channel its 1460th Subscribe
I say leave the hood black, it's a nice contrast and makes the front end look good- and let's be honest, the superbee needs all the help it can get (I'm gonna run like hell now)
leave it black! I love it when i see guys that still have their first car; wish i could find mine.
I miss roadkill
Pid what do you mean? Its still around.
Motor trend on demand is “pretty good”
Dont, i pirate every episode... and... lets just say the best episodes are on youtube
its "mint"
girrrrrrr2 where do you pirate the episodes from? How up to date are they?
This year you can now say that you've owned this thing for 40 years now
That’s right!
I almost bought one of there Mopars back in 1995 for $4500 with a 440 hooked to a pistol grip 4spd. Orange was the color n rolling on polished centerline's with a sure grip 391 posi. I was stupid to pass it by😣 . Cool show
I'd leave it black David. It adds character to the car. But it also yours with that being said make even yours more
Thanks for sharing the history of your car and your juvenile hijinks. FYI, leave the hood black, it looks awesome!!
Leave the hood black looks so cool that way.
Lilshu13 Would you please give my racing channel its 1460th Subscribe
Chopper in the background and police sirens, high speed chase? Lol
another fun fact. when david got hit and fucked up his arm. he got 11,000 from the insurance company and bought a plymouth roadrunner which his father hated and made him sell, and then he went on a long journey to buy another late model roadrunner just like the one he first bought. and eventually he found it during their cruise in the datson mini truck in ep58 of roadkill.
I love this car! I have a 70 R/T challenger in Gomango with a burnt orange interior. The combination is stunning.
I miss roadkill.....i got so much inspiration from that show
Kingster Sreejit You can still be inspired literally the subscription cost as much as McDonald’s for a few days.......
Black hood, adds a sinister look to the Bee.
Thanx for the video.
Fun history.
Loved your car craft cheap builds back in the day. Where you added up every cent. Been following your work since.
Was realistic for me when I was young, hell, still is.
I like the black. It’s already done, if you leave it, you don’t need to make the time to switch it.
bryan rut
Caddy hack....
Had to mention that epic article to someone the other day .....
car craft kicked ass!!!
I didn’t even have a car when I started reading it!!
MrHillfolk
that was a good one.
Does anyone remember the 500 cube caddy engine into the chevette? That thing was cheap, wild, and fast for the junk it was made outta.
Was that car craft?
Love the car, thank you very much for doing the video, didn't know you had a TH-cam channel, already subbed to Finnegan's, but glad YT finally put you in my suggestions. I've seen all the Roadkill and Engine Masters episodes and love your work! keep doing what you're doing 😀
What’s funny is when he said he didn’t have his first date in the Super Bee, well I’ve got a 72 Satellite and I was 17 when I went on my first date for my birthday which is in December. Date went okay but then when it came to drive her home, I stopped to get gas and the cold killed the battery and the car wouldn’t start. So my first date kinda went the same way Freibrurger’s did
Savor the flavor of that gem of a car Freiburger...Lots of car guys will never have the chance to enjoy such fortunes. Enjoy it. (I think black btw)
I think any car can be a gem if you truly enjoy it, a lot of people like to debate Old vs. New, American vs. Foreign, Muscle vs. Tuner, Gas vs. Diesel, and Standard vs. Automatic, but the most important thing you should ask yourself is if it makes you happy or not and if you could ever imagine yourself getting rid of it, that's how I like to see it
Love the story and passion!! Been wearing the shirt for some time now!! Thanks for all your support!!!
Glad to see the update I love this car. I would love to see updates like this on more cars like the crusher, your truck, the green jeep, and so on just the vehicle you have had along time. Oh and the Roadrunner since you are selling it :(.
Black
Nice car!
Paint the hood orange! I think the Super Bees front end looks a bit awkward with the black hood.
Nice! I'm coming up on my 21st anniversary with my 71 Duster. Time flies.
Man, bad memories when seeing a 70 Super Bee. When I was in High School in 87 a guy constantly wanted to trade his canary yellow 70 Super Bee with a non original 440 to me for my 78 Monte Carlo. I should have done it. Only consolation is that I totaled all of my cars before the age of 25 so it wouldn't have survived.
Nice Super Bee Freiburger!
i like the contrast of the orange car with the black hood.
Hey!! My dad has a 1970 Dodge Super Bee 363. We’re in Colorado and we’d love to cruise with you! We watch you all the time too. I’m only 16 but I’d love to sit down and talk to you.
I love hearing the stories about any car/truck that has a long ownership history. That gives each car/truck character, that's what makes any car/truck special. A piece of steel becomes a member of the family. Long live American Iron! Great story David!
Nice! Thanks for sharing Dave. Met you guys a few years ago at the Ft. Worth drive in theater. It was nice meeting and chatting cars with you guys for a bit.
Leave the hood black. Looks good
The dents in the trunk were from being locked inside the trunk with the key's left in the lock outside in the trunk.
If your going full hemi hood, paint the fenders black as well to give it the super stock look
I usually don't like flat or satin black paint but on the AAR Cuda's and your car here it really works and I like it. I say keep it black.
Come back to TH-cam!
The shirt looks yellow in the camera 😂 like if u agree
The flat black hood just gives it the nostalgia race look. Having and orange hood would just make it look like every other super bee. From an artistic point, it breaks up the color and makes it less of a giant orange blob.
I still have my first car too. My 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix LE. I have the car since 2004. This month I celebrating 15th anniversary by doing a ls swap.
Black looks good Dave
Keep the black hood, it looks rad.
Leave the hood black, it’s looks good! And I gotta get one of those shirts lol
My ex wife still has her deceased son in laws 69 bee he bought summer of 76 when he got his license at 16 years old. He had enough sense to put it away before winter and buy a beater to drive. It still has about 70,xxx actual miles on it. He passed away back in 08
I like the black. Very cool you still have it. Wish I still had my first it was 1977 CJ5 it was in 1989. Enjoy all the shows.
You should leave it black, you'll have a hard time getting a colour match and even if you do, it may come out brighter
I like the black hood.
Wouldnt it of been cool if the power steering pump popped the dent out from the volvo! Great stories!
If it has a bench seat, orange. If you put the bucket seats in it, Definitely black. Its all about the presence and feel it gives. Modded vs. Stock.
Leave the hood black! It looks cool the way it is now .
First off, the hood should be black. Second, I got a similar violation on a GMC Sierra, no muffler, no tail light. I fixed the muffler, the tail light still isn't working, 6 years later. And I got out of the ticket.
Tail light is way more important than the muffler. 🤷🏻♂️
Great to see Freiburger on TH-cam
I thought you would like this, I have my 1st car a 1970 Dodge Super Bee. I put mine in the ditch in front of my High school, my only real dent. Mine is a 383 car that when I bought it at 15 had a 440 in it , that I’ve blown 3x and now has a 440 for the last 20 years. I have owned it for 43 years. F8 green with green interior, bench seat with a pistol grip shifter, dual hood scoop car, white vinyl top, white C stripe . I did just get my Go Mango Demon 170. Seems like we have a lot in common.
Great story! Keep them both.
I'm 32 and still have my first car, 1976 Holden Torana....I nearly put mine in a ditch when I was young too my brother slid out the window as it was see sawing and held it on the roofline to stop it falling then I sat on the boot untill he got out grandpa's landcruiser and pulled it out😂😂😂
