Plum Crazy Purple with a white vinyl roof and a 440 Six Pack under the hood — this 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee is the kind of factory combination that still stops traffic at a car show fifty years later. Restorer Mark Klopack walks through the build at Chicago’s World of Wheels. Watch to hear that pistol-grip four-speed and 440 come alive.
A Plum Crazy Purple 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee, loaded with a 440 Six Pack, four-speed pistol-grip shifter, and white bucket seats, stopped traffic at the World of Wheels show in Rosemont, Illinois. One viewer owned nearly the same car at seventeen. Another notes cars like it have become darlings of the Mecum auction circuit. Watch the full walk-around to see why.
A vividly painted convertible glowing in the sunset light has readers split on whether it is a bold custom win or a paint choice gone too far. Purple has always been a rare sight on muscle cars, historically overshadowed by louder factory reds and High Impact Mopar colors, which makes this one impossible to ignore either way.

A hand-built supercar wearing a wing large enough to generate real downforce, a muscle coupe still leaning on a naturally aspirated big-inch V8, and a four-door sedan capable of embarrassing sports cars twice its price. Dodge’s SRT lineup rarely gets credit for how differently each of these machines chases speed, through aerodynamics, displacement, or a supercharger. Three cars, three completely different answers to the same question.
