1970 Superbee with an unusual color combo. #1623716 05/22/14 08:00 PM 05/22/14 08:00 PM

That's not the strange part, fender tag show V6B for a Ledger Blue 'C' stripe. Has to be rare, not good looking in my opinion, but rare. Fender tag shows Y16 as well, so it looks like someone at Dodge ordered this as a sales bank car. Anyone have any pictures of FK5 with V6B?

I double checked the fender tag thinking the 'B' was an '8'.....it isn't. Was it 'allowed' on this car because it's a sales bank car, ordered right from corporate?

Would be neat to see a photo of that car how it came new just to see how well it may have looked. I hope your buddy fixes it, these are awesome cars. Post more photos if you're able.

It is an original 383 4-speed N96 car with this very odd color combo... Here is another pic that might show the blue better...

I hope that one gets restored. Please don't part it out.

It was black with a gold C-stripe when I had it, then my friend bought it and painted it gray with a white stripe. I've seen two others out there that were B5 with the light blue C-stripe. Here's a picture of the car in 1979, long before I got it. The car was sold new at the long-defunct Strausbaugh Dodge in Youngstown, OH. A lot of locals remember the car. 8153081-154895_414145252007846_1138946621_n.jpg (365 downloads) Last edited by GuruRanger; 05/23/14 01:42 AM.
