I drove to a nearby town on the promise of finding a 70 Coronet-white with green top and interior. I did not find it but ran across a cool guy with a 70 Challenger. I did not have my camera or I would have taken a few pics. The guys name is Santos and he bought the car new in March of 1970. He was in the military and used it as transportation. It is a B5 318 car with a 3 speed manual transmission. We talked for a while and he showed me what his plans were for bringing the car back to life. Was neat to find an original owner. Did not find the car I was looking for but found a new Mopar friend.
I turned him onto this site and he seemed interested since he is working to get the car roadworthy again. I hope he shows up. When I got home I noticed that my rimblow steering wheel showed up. It will need to be restored but for 140 bucks with shipping I think its an alright deal.

Sounds like the hunt was succesful then

Made a friend and got home to a suprise

great score on that by the way

Be good to see the Coronet if you found it, sounds like a good color combo and my Favourite year B-body

Thanks Ken. There are lots to choose from but I am pretty sure the 1970 SuperBee is my favorite B body of all time. I think Santos will sign up, he seems like he would fit right in here.

Brett, the 70 Super Bee is my pick also, infact my favourite color combo on a 70 Super Bee would be a White Bee with Red Interior and a Black Vinyl Top with a Red C-stripe

Kenny, I'm so glad you didn't say 'and with a B5 C stripe.'

Hey guys, while were on the subject, I am wondering where I will be able to get the funky snorkle hood. Do they repop that by any chance?

hemiken · « **Reply #7 on:** December 26, 2009 - 10:19:24 PM »

what part and what model Brett ?

Hey Brett,

Sorry about that last reply.

I'm just trying to keep Kenny on his toes.

I think you are talking about this hood, right?

Hey you know me guys, josh all you want, laughing makes the world a better place

Yeah that is the hood Jim, I really dig it and much prefer it to the ram air hood although you guys probably think I am crazy
