1970 Superbee emblem and hood pin locations

Rob, does your car have the fender mounted 383 callouts? That's the last piece of the puzzle.

Rob,

Is your car a 383 N96? To my knowledge the 70 bees only had scoop callouts with the 440 sixpack or hemi. If your car is a 383 with scoop callouts that would be something.

Moparts member Andy's survivor 383 N96 Bee;



see, you learn something new every day!

Lindy, If it was a N96 car they had the callouts on the hood scoops and not the fender. If it was NOT a N96 car it had the emblems on the fender and the script "superbee" on the bulge hood if my information is correct. Someone like Dave can confirm.

Correct;

383 N96 car:



383 standard "power bulge" hood 383 car;

Sorry for the hijack Lindy but.......

..... I so need the exact location of those fender mounted turn signals and the 383 fender emblems also!

Also, I BELIEVE that '70 V code 'Bees with the standard hood did not recieve any fender badges;



...got a few pics like that one.

Dave

And all hemi cars came with N96 hood.

Meh. Is my face red... Thanks Dave. That's so crappy for me! I have two brand new Year One 383 fender emblems that came with my car and I am setting it up with the N96 hood. Ebay, here I come...

Well as long as you didn't drill the holes, you aren't that bad off.

Dan,

That's the one. Do you have access to that car? If you could get pictures straignt on with a tape from the seam between the door and fender and another from the top fender crease to the emblem I will be golden!


Of course, this one belongs to me.

I''ll post pics and measures tomorrow,along with the turnsignal measurments.

PS- dug through a pile of old pics and can't find the particular one I'm looking for when I pulled the orig engine out- can clearly see both hood and fender emblems- I'll try to hunt for it this weekend. I think that it would really add to this thread.

---

That would be cool to see. neat color combo too.

I'd love to see them too. I'm saving all the photos so I can eventually pass information like this to others. I think it would be really cool to have a moparts photo archive that consists of survivor close up photos that fall under strict guidelines just to aid in the resto process.

---

I saved quite a few specific ones, but I should have saved ALL of them for reference purposes....oh well. I must say that I learned alot about '70 Coronets over the last 5 years but there's still lots to learn......in the beginning, I assumed that most parts would be the same from '68 - '70 on all B bodies.......was I ever wrong!!

I'm just glad I have moparts guys like you and Scott and the other guys on this post to glean from. I hear you Dave. I went to the B body to be able to finish a car cheaper (sooner!). Well, most of the garden variety parts are cheaper than E body parts bit the 70 Coronet one year deal does present its own challenges. I am having a blast and am fortunate to have almost all of the year specific hardware. I just bought one in pieces and don't know how it all goes together!

Funny deal. My body guy is a chevy guy. He estimated 30 minutes to remove the front and rear bumpers. After an our and a half of wrangling with the front clip to remove the front bumper he said, "getting that thing back on with paint on the valance is going to be a three man job! I said, "yeah, there's definitely some interesting engineering in that nose."

---

Thanks; but guys like Scott have forgotten more than I'll ever know. I have done a lot of research on '70 Superbee's but trust me; if I appear like I'm an expert, it IS an illusion!

Funny you mention the front end; that was a real PITA for me!! Had the whole thing powder coated, assembled and installed only to find out that the stuff I bought was bent!! Soooo, take the original stuff, sand blast, powder coat, reassemble and re-install......lucky I had 3 complete sets of brackets and supports.

I bought this car in boxes with a good half the pces missing and I suppose I was forced to learn........Just like I learned basic mechanics by owning real POS cars when I was 16!

I would never have thought such parts as K frames, steering columns, gauges, valve covers, front seats, etc. etc. were all one year only stuff!!


Anyway, sorry for the ramble!

Oh, and while eyes are still on this post, Another fun question. Were any cars equipped with the one piece whip style radio antenna in 70 or were they all the extendable mast style?

---

I have seen both, but I believe the extendable mast style is correct. This isn't something I spent much time looking at.

Dave, Thanks for the compliments but I am a master of illusion myself

Like you, we get to know these cars pretty intimately (did I say that .... yeah there like a wife or girlfriend!). When you do a complete restoration you are forced to do the research to make sure your car is correct (if thats what your shooting for). You really learn alot about specific things. And being that 70's are a quirky year, you start to learn all the little idiosyncrasies with them. I was fortunate in my last 70 to get a car that was still in original paint with all the major components still in place except the motor and trans. So the car itself dictated my current restoration. I'm a huge 70 fan and I try to gather as much information as I can through original cars, experience, collecting way to many parts, and especially people like Dave on this board. So we all learn from each other.

As far as the antenna mast, the telescopic antenna is what should be on a 70. here is another post about this.

Hah! Humble guy. Anyone who orders an entire roll of correct woodgrain vinyl from Japan just to make his car correct is top shelf in my book. You've both earned your stripes and I am better off for your efforts.

I was in my basement shop last night digging through bags of hardware that came with the car. Ugh. Hundreds of screws, little or no identification. The most I know about any of them is that they belong to interior, exterior, grill, rear lights and panel, etc. beyond that it's a total crap shoot. I recognize about 20% of them and have a general guess on about half of them. Wow.

QUESTION: On the interior screws, knowing that this is no reference resto, should I purchase a screw kit for my interior or should I clean, derust and replate/coat my original screws? If kit, where to buy? If restore, what to use?

When this is over, I will be with you two, helping out the next 70 coronet guy.
