In this awesome episode, a barn find of sorts in offered to me and it is my favorite car ever. A 1970 Dodge Super Bee. The car was left abandoned by a guy running from the law in 1983 and 40 years later, we ask ourselves, Will it run? Be sure to watch till the end to find out if we can drive this car before bringing it home.
Unfortunately, I had to sell my white 69 Dart Swinger 340 to make this happen. But consider this really cool Mopar B-body SAVED!!! And be sure to like and subscribe to see future work on the car that we are calling, the Fugitive. Also, be sure to checkout my store to find some awesome Shirts, hoodies, sweaters, and more and not only wear something great, but also help support my channel.

I bought a 1971 challenger in 1993 for 1000$. It has a 340 4 speed. But now these cars are for the riches thanks to the flippers and speculator. At least, I got the chance to have one. I sold it few years later to buy a 1987 buick GN.

That's my car and I want it back lol..That's my favorite and my dream car cause I remember watching a Super Bee rule the Kanawha Valley in Wva in the 70s. I'm pretty sure that it was a 440 4speed car but it ruled. It was gray paint from factory with black decals and badges. I used to go hitch hiking just so I could ride in the car although moma always told me to never get in that car but I did anyway and it'd pin ya in the seat as long as the throttle was to the floor going through the gears and even at 50mph when he mashed it to floor, you ain't going to move around that's 4sure. I remember the odometer said 160 and I'm 💯 percent sure that it would've easily done 160 and then some cause just playing around 137 wasn't a hard thing for the car to do and ain't nutn like a Mopar when it comes to raw gaspump horsepower

I had that same carb that was an actual Holley years ago, worked very well, and I liked that the top comes off and no separate bowls that dump gas all over when removed.

The Summit carb is actually half Holley and half Autolite. Some Holley parts interchange. I built the regular AMT '70 Super Bee in the mid '90s, painted it Plum Crazy with black and white interior and the 440.

I was so jealous of this one dude that picked one up new because he lived at home that was living in his Mom's basement to afford this beauty 😍. It was metallic forest green with white accents and stripes, looked amazing 🤩. Anyway, YOU are so very incredibly LUCKY 🤞 🍀 to own one of these amazing muscle cars from that amazing muscle car era.

We also used to go and look at a road runner 383 in a barn that someone piled Barn wood behind the car the owner wouldn't sell it the barn fell on it was a sad 😢 day Thanks for sharing your video's and Happy Holidays

I love the front end of that one even more than the one of the Chargers. I love 65 Pontiacs and the feature of the split grille is very nice. It is true that you cannot call the nose of this car "descent". But who wants a boring car anyway. Hope you will stick to this one. If you sell it you will regret it for the rest of your life!

I had a chance to get a 70' convertible, it was forest green, I worked at sambos back in oh 78-82 whatever, it sat down at ballard wrecking right under the bridge off 15th ave, it was there for about a year, I asked he wanted like $800 for it, ran, 440, top worked, I had a 442 at the time but wanted that car bad, I decided i would spend my income tax getting it, when I went to get it, GONE! I loved that car more than my 442 w30, and that was a nice car.. but that coronet looked so bad arse, 440 4 spd, console, convertible, it had those ducts like the shelby mustangs had.. man, R/T badged
