Plymouth also called the 3x2 carb setup 6 BBL. I've always loved the Plum Crazy Purple color it reminds me of a grape Popsicle. I also agree with you the stripe package on the sides have always looked odd to me like they were too abruptly cut off at the doors. That's why I prefer the stripe that goes around the trunk.
@@loucostabile I painted my apt. In 1992 plum crazy. My landlord almost Had a stroke. Great 70s color ,high school friend had 71 challenger , with White vinyl top , white interior, plum crazy body. 🤪
Glad I videoed one you love. Thank you for sharing the kind words "another great video & keep up the fantastic work!", I do appreciate that. Ultimate car, the Original # 1 1966 Batmobile. Seen it sell at Barrett Jackson in January 2013 and met George Barris that day (that for me was cool) and saw the car again at Barrett Jackson's Showroom in Scottsdale, AZ so maybe one day I'll find the Owner and have the opportunity for the car. Other cars? Enzo Ferrari, La Ferrari, Vipers, Hemi's, Concept Cars, there are many I like. Thank you for asking. How about you? What car(s) would you pick? Lou
I used to build the same but a buddy of mine and myself switched to building 1/18 scale metal models. (Ertyl, etc.) They are held together by screws so you don't get parts falling off when the glue deteriorates. You might have to make a few parts to bring it up to par but the results are incredible. It looks like a real car. My friend is so good at it he now makes his own engines that you could not get in the models like 427 SOHC Ford motors, Ram Air V Pontiacs etc. He even puts air conditioning in some using old aluminum wire from houses to fashion the A/C lines to his scratch-built compressors. Your eye spots that real aluminum right off. When he is finished his engines look like you could start them up. You should give it a try. :)
I have around 135 1/24 & 1/25 scale model muscle cars. No room or desire to change to the larger 1/18 scale. I build for accuracy to try to make them look real. A bit harder to do with the smaller scale. I am currently stepping out of my comfort zone & building a 1/35 scale WW2 scout car for a friend of mine.
Hey big bro Lou!! Oh man-you and Mark have shownus a true treasure here, man This Dodge has one of the hottest front ends EVER, that's for sure. I love to see the way Mark handles her, you know? Using those clean rags to open the hood pins....EPIC. As a former cast member of Altar Boyz, and who always had his ever present JV baseball tubesocks and floppy DC sneakers showing under my white altar boy robe (LOL!!! Father Callahan-and my Mom-were pissed!) do you think this Super Bee would have a similar effect as a Superbird, Lou? Would I be in my stocking feet real quick with this one?! Oh man, I love these 70's musclecars, man....thanks for the inspiration and for your feeback, big brother. :) JV Johnny
Another 'timely' vid rec'd here. I take my Toyota in for recall airbag repair and while waiting at the crosswalk to go 'home', an orange Super Bee example cruises by....Cali Saturday :)

My '70 Super Bee was in FJ5 Sublime with a black vinyl top, interior and C-stripe. It had a rebuilt 383 with the pistol grip 4 speed and 3:54 Dana. Could be seen coming miles away on the interstate!! The fun part was driving all over the place getting parts for it. You meet a lot of great people in this hobby. Have fun, but don't go Plum Crazy, ya hear?

Hi Kingdong, Glad you like this one :-) Not a big surprise if he interiors match for the cars back in 1970 as Car Manufactures would look for ways to keep production similar on different models to save costs of one of production pieces. For that matter they're still doing that today, Lou
A rumor at chrysler was that plum crazy purple and in violet (plymouth) color name runner up was statutory grape ! Not sure the validity but it's an old rumor.
Yep the 70 coronet is the undisputed baddest assed car ever built by dodge. It's just called a six pack, no dodge guy calls it anything else...plymouth guys call it a 6 barrel but no don't call it a tri power, 3 deuce or anything else that Chevy or pontiac guys would say, that's a sin. Yes the 70 coronet quarter panels are the best. Did you know that the 70 coronet hood and front fenders were used to make the plymouth superbird front clip. Cool fact

My Dad has a blue (with white vinyl roof) 68 Plymouth Fury III hardtop sedan that's 90 some % original with the 318, my Grandpa bought from the original owners in the 1980s, my Dad bought it from his estate when he died in 2009.
I have heard the '70 nose treatment wasn't popular, but I think it's the best part of the car, the tail lights look great too - unlike the fugly tail lights on the back of the '70 Swinger 340/4 Auto that I drove in High School...I have always liked the Coronet/Satellite body style, but a Plum Crazy '70 like this, is one of my Dream Cars...For as tough as Mopar's of this era were, by the late 60's their Instrument Panels got very cheap, and very tacky looking in comparison to earlier designs, like the '59 Coronet's dash - but that's just my opinion...
I kind of like the 440 SIX PACKS better than the HEMI. The color combo is striking. I love the white interior and top. Now lets take it to the track. Do a couple 1/4 mile jaunts.
I know unfortunately I can't afford this, but always have wondered why when people go to such great lengths to restore these, they put a generic modern battery in?
@@loucostabile Yeah I understand, but a battery? That guy you interviewed with the 15 + 'cudas I noticed has those OEM type Mopar remake batteries in most of them. It's like the first thing I notice when the hood is opened. They have all the period correct stickers, but couldn't buy a battery? Come on. .... Bye the way, love your channel. I grew up in Roselle and my first car in highschool was a '74 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 440. One of a handful as that would be the last year for the 440 and that fuselage bodystyle. Bought it from Fenzel Chrysler Plymouth Dodge Trucks (at the time) in Hampshire Illinois. Was said to have been an undercover State Police car down in Sangamon Cty. Sold it to a friend in Bartlett that had a '72 with a 340, and a '65 Belvidere with a 426 street wedge, which I used to tow to Great Lakes Dragway for him. With my new '84 Dodge 1 ton dually 360 4bl, 4.10 Spicer locker rear. Good times. 🐶🐶🐶
The 440's a good motor too, however there is something about those one of a kind fat valve covers with the plug wires in the middle of them that make you smile :-)
Also do any of you people out there and you too bland or Lou for that matter know where I can get a pistol grip shifter exactly like this for my 2012 Dodge Hemi Challenger? I don't like the ones that are made of wood or Billet aluminum I just want one that's plastic and looks just like the one in that car. Thanks
For those thinking why a be for gods sakes,well the chargers were labeled b bodied cars by the factory,duster and darts were A body's,my Cudas and challengers E body's,chargers b body hence da super bee,got it good dontcforget about it.
could/ve bought same car in 76' for 800 $ but it had a 383 so I passed until I could buy a 440, turned out to be 70' RT charger for my daily driver for a 17 yr old kid
Ya, a rich engine is less prone to catastrophic failure than a lean one. Hemi's and any muscle car really needs some dyno tuning to run to full potential.
Fred Marquez Mopars are fast and sexy but,sadly do not function very well as,cars. I mean regular Transportation duties. I had a few when I was a younger man and enjoyed them immensely, but now I am much too old for that kind of drama. My back locks up now when I am bent over under an open hood and straightening up is more of a process than an act... fighting rust and electrical problems gets old too, not to mention single-digit gas mileage in an age of $4 a gallon gas, at least I had my fun when I was a kid!

Thanks for the great comment :-) You might have a case there regarding marring a old muscle car, great curves, and less demands, let alone the financial savings might get you an end of year tax credit too :-)
Midwest winters destroyed these cars. I don't know if it was a design flaw that made the fenders trap water and salt, or it was thinner metal. But growing up in Michigan, I hardly remember seeing one that wasn't rusted out within a couple years.
Hi videodudeX, Two things. 1) Tomorrow I'm uploading another Super Bee, let me know what you think and let me know If I've improved from this video 2 and 1/2 years ago. 2) Regarding taking classes, that is an outstanding idea, and to help support it because the more you donate, the better I become to share with you.

@@loucostabile Close up should be temporary and quick. It seem there is a bad habit of zooming in and bringing the camera in close at the same time with the intent of bringing out the detail of the object. The finished product is the viewer sees less detail with a frame full of chrome. Honestly, I come to watch the video and realize it's that guy who messes up his own work with good intent.

I think this is my favorite mopar, its hard to say but colors and body styling the 70 coronet is sooooooo bad to the bone. Base models all the way up to the 1 of 1 hemi 4 speed convertible that was on graveyard carz
I always love my dodge muscle cars for one thing they always color match the under the hood and engine compartment it was just a nice showy. Touch were GM cars are black...man that motor needs to run longer because it sound mean...but you inside so,but thanks,I like that dodge had the nads to paint their muscle car some really cool colors,I have a friend who had three purple people eaters,Cudas and I have never seen one even at a car show an original one,it just a statement for there cars to be purple,just go ahead and be jealous..JK kudos to any body who loves American muscle I don't care what brand u like keep them alive that's what counts....because those days probably vwill never happen again,well may be if u like electric cars but they don't rumble enuf for me,bump stick should not be optional....sorry my rules.piece thanks beautiful car what up with the color thou u a pimp....jk....

could/ve bought same car in 76' for 800 $ but it had a 383 so I passed until I could buy a 440, turned out to be 70' RT charger for my daily driver for a 17 yr old kid
Hi Peter, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the car you almost bought. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
@@loucostabile love your videos, mopar or no car, nut in my book hd to be 440, more HP than a 17 yr old needs, sure was fun
@@loucostabile Lou love your videos, now looking to the future, trying to figure out which EV will fit into my lifestyle
I must say I am partial to mopar.
Hi keeff, You're on the right TH-cam Channel, as there are many MOPARs to enjoy :-) Lou
👍😎👍😎

generally they ran very rich prone to stumble off the line
Ya, a rich engine is less prone to catastrophic failure than a lean one. Hemi's and any muscle car really needs some dyno tuning to run to full potential.
Fred Marquez Mopars are fast and sexy but,sadly do not function very well as,cars. I mean regular Transportation duties. I had a few when I was a younger man and enjoyed them immensely, but now I am much too old for that kind of drama. My back locks up now when I am bent over under an open hood and straightening up is more of a process than an act... fighting rust and electrical problems gets old too, not to mention single-digit gas mileage in an age of $4 a gallon gas, at least I had my fun when I was a kid!

i get goosebumps for each and every video. maybe trump will let me marry an old muscle car
Thanks for the great comment :-) You might have a case there regarding marring a old muscle car, great curves, and less demands, let alone the financial savings might get you an end of year tax credit too :-)
Midwest winters destroyed these cars. I don't know if it was a design flaw that made the fenders trap water and salt, or it was thinner metal. But growing up in Michigan, I hardly remember seeing one that wasn't rusted out within a couple years.
Hi Marty, You're right, they rusted pretty quickly when salt & snow arrived in the Midwest, Lou
I live in Chicago
Hi Jays Channel 24/7. Glad you saw the Tuners you enjoy. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Sorry to hear that. But I'm sure you bring the city up a few notches. Be careful.
You forgot to hi lite the Tic Toc Tach
:-(

Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
Please! Take some video production classes! Also might want to invest in a stabilizer! Despite great subject matter this video is UNWATCHABLE!
Hi videodudeX, Two things. 1) Tomorrow I'm uploading another Super Bee, let me know what you think and let me know If I've improved from this video 2 and 1/2 years ago. 2) Regarding taking classes, that is an outstanding idea, and to help support it because the more you donate, the better I become to share with you. Here is the link to my Patreon page. Thank you in advance for your support, Lou www.patreon.com/MyCarStoryWithLou
@@loucostabile Close up should be temporary and quick. It seem there is a bad habit of zooming in and bringing the camera in close at the same time with the intent of bringing out the detail of the object. The finished product is the viewer sees less detail with a frame full of chrome. Honestly, I come to watch the video and realize it's that guy who messes up his own work with good intent.
More ZOOM in that camera than the car...
Ok :-)
I had a 69 super bee got mad at one day a junk it

Hi Slime TV, Fun to see a family member :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Dodge must have fired the ‘69 Coronet design team, lol. I know it’s badass but I just don’t like this front end.
Hi jay poma, Clearly this one is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you'll enjoy :-) Lou
Lou Costabile Its wild how much they changed it from one year to the next. I get a GTO vibe from the front but don’t get me wrong I would love to own any of these awesome cars 👍 🇺🇸💪
I think this is my favorite mopar, its hard to say but colors and body styling the 70 coronet is sooooooo bad to the bone. Base models all the way up to the 1 of 1 hemi 4 speed convertible that was on graveyard carz
Hi Korie Creson, Glad this one is a favorite :-) Lou
That was supposed to be you tube land
Yeah... You Tube Land :-)
I always love my dodge muscle cars for one thing they always color match the under the hood and engine compartment it was just a nice showy. Touch were GM cars are black...man that motor needs to run longer because it sound mean...but you inside so,but thanks,I like that dodge had the nads to paint their muscle car some really cool colors,I have a friend who had three purple people eaters,Cudas and I have never seen one even at a car show an original one,it just a statement for there cars to be purple,just go ahead and be jealous..JK kudos to any body who loves American muscle I don't care what brand u like keep them alive that's what counts....because those days probably vwill never happen again,well may be if u like electric cars but they don't rumble enuf for me,bump stick should not be optional....sorry my rules.piece thanks beautiful car what up with the color thou u a pimp....jk....

plymouth called it a six pack, dodge called it a 6 barrel
Hi geeterman98, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
@geeterman98 you got that wrong Dodge was the six pack Plymouth was the six barrel because If that was the case it would of said it on the air cleaner but it said 440 Magnum Six Pack on a Plymouth it would say 440 Six Barrel
Lose the fuzzy dice.
Fuzzy Dice was the thing back in the day
OldHemiHead I have to agree, the dice don't exactly belong in a dodge superbee. That's more of a Chevy thing.
