If it’s one thing most BangShifters can agree upon, it’s that old-school Mopars are just plain cool. I don’t care if you are a Ford, Chevy, AMC, or an Import guy, we can all agree that the guys over at Chrysler Corporation in the 60’s and early 70’s were a little nuts, and I mean that in a good way. They weren’t quite crazy enough to build a 1970 Dodge Super Bee Wagon but someone was.
Like your crazy uncle who only listens to the heaviest of metal and still plays with firecrackers and other mild explosives, these beasts are a bit hairy around the edges, and totally awesome both in their heyday and still are today. Back then, Chrysler would try anything to get customers in the door, including offering crazy colors and graphics packages on many of their vehicles, and allowing for honking engines with gratuitous horsepower to be installed at the check of the option box. They were the car company most likely to say “Hold my beer and watch this!” as they built all sorts of stuff that probably had no business being available for public consumption, and we love them for it. Mother Mopar would try nearly anything to one-up everyone else, save for offering a full blown, advertised muscle car package, both in engine choice and appearance, in a station wagon. Over the years, many enterprising builders have built their own phantom muscle wagons, and the one we are about to show you is one of the better efforts we’ve seen (and yes, it’s for sale). Let’s check it out!
Now, here’s the catch: The asking price is a substantial $39,900. The seller is citing that the car was featured on The History Channel’s show Car Hunters last year, and I’m sure that’s being taken into account with the price. The pristine 440 6-pack aside, a 1970 Coronet Wagon in this shape could probably be had for A LOT less. Is that 440, hood, and badging worth the extra scratch? You tell us!

For sale is my 1970 Dodge Super Bee wagon. Of course, Dodge never made a Wagon version of this car, so this is a custom build that started life as a low mile, very solid Coronet wagon. It was then given everything a real Super Bee should have, including a 440 V8 sourced from a Barracuda. This is a very high quality build that shows great in person and draws tons of attention. It is truly one of a kind.
This Super Bee was featured on History Channel’s Car Hunters in 2016. It was season 1, Episode 10. I encourage you to go to History Channel’s website or download their app to see some great video and further explanation of this car.
I am willing to consider trades, but I prefer cash offers. $39,900.
What an awesome car, always had a soft spot for a cool wagon
Front clip would be easy enough to change to a ’69…The ’70’s front end was just. Plain. Ugly. Not weird.
I agree, My dad had this back end on a roadrunner front.. all by accident. pun intended. It was by no means for show car duties in 1976 when he bought it. It was the first hub caps I bangoed on with my little kids tool set. Simply parts available, kept the wagon running. I believe it got crushed.. I did look around for it years later.
Awesome Mopar wagon!
What – a wagon without fake wood and babyshit brown paint?
Awesome but change those wheels for banded R/T steelies and then it will be perfect!
Gordie….if you were a faithful follower you would have seen this back in my 2015 coverage of the Cincinnati Cavalcade of Customs. Green one this year…..

Love it
If you don’t like the styling park it between a Pontiac Aztec and a Nissan Juke. It will instantly look beautiful!!
While nicely done, it seems unfinishe by the fact that the builder didn’t swap in a proper rallye dash, console, and buckets. Plus, the rear windows need a tint to them just to complete the look.
At least two-of-none, there is one in Chicago. Lime Lite Green with proper fake wood on the side. Correct Super Bee dash as well.
