Yikes, this ol Bee had some serious cancer on the bottom!
but this Coronet 440 (which has nothing to do with the 440 cu in engine, it's the bottom of the barrel cheapest model line, and looking over to the far side, it was a 4 door maybe... a Coronet 500 was another lower trim level model) looks reamrkable well preserved
and bingo! Someone will have a car to love for decades to come

I've been watching cold war motors doing something similar recently.

isnt a coronet and a super bee the exact same car?
ReplyDeletewhy go to all that trouble?
they are the base model, and the performance model.
DeleteIs a Mustang and a Shelby GT 350H the same car? Sort of.
The Super Bee has a VIN that is an easy 4 alphanumeric digits that place it among the cars that sell for many time more than the taxi cab version of the Coronet, as Coronets were mostly 4 door taxis, or 2 door muscle cars.
In the middle photo, I believe I see the center post from the donor car which indicates a 4 door.
There were also station wagon Coronets.
The Super Bee had the big block, nothing smaller than the 383. It also could have the optional 440 with a 4 barrel, or the 440 six pack, or the Hemi.
So, when you see a Super Bee, you're looking at a car that simply is a muscle car... like the Road Runner, it was NEVER made with a small block or 6 cylinder
