The late '90s stock re-issue version of the '70 Super Bee never came with the prototype Hemi engine, nor the Pro Street parts. I never bought the Pro Street version, so did it come with all of the stock parts, too (i.e. stock chassis, rear suspension, interior, etc.)?

Saying Round2 should've included ALL the parts from both the stock and Pro Street issues is wishful thinking, since they never were all included in one kit box to my knowledge.

I remember the Pro-Street version, as I was working in a hobby shop in 1996. Always wanted it but thought it was a little hokey looking. Man do I kick myself in the butt now for NOT getting it!

Technically, this prototype DOHC Hemi engine was available only in the '70 Coronet Super Bee Pro Street kit, but this seems like a good place to post reference pics of the engine:











The real engine:

Okay, diverting the OP...
I didn't know they made that engine as I was reading this yesterday:

And thought that it woul be cool engine to throw into something.

[Edsel-Dan]

I doubt you will ever see the 68-70 MoPar's with Both Pro-Street & Stock options in the
same box as they require separate chassis pans. Rememberm the Pro-Street has tubbed
rear wheel wheels for those monstrosities they call tires.

Not that they can't, but they would have to use a larger box for it to fit. They can and ocassionally do
include both engine options, but not both chassis'

I have the retro-Deluxe type box art re-issue of the 70. I do wish the Police parts were still there!!
I want to say when they finally offered the 69 GTX hardtop in Stock, they may have included 2 engines too.
I need to dig that one out and look at it again.

[ChrisPflug]

The stock 69 GTX included the Hemi- stock or cross ram but no twin cam heads as well as the 440 with both 4 or 6 barrel induction

Round2 should release that DOHC Hemi as a "Parts Pack" deal , and cast-up a 727 as an option to go behind it ...

[Futurabat]

Good deal! I would love to get my hands on that HEMI and pop a few resin casts!

[jdmfan]

Be very careful with the decals in this kit . They look better than they are . They tear very easy . I ended up having to use other decals from a different kit cause both sets that i tried to apply ripped

Thank you for mentioning that. Because of this thread I finally opened mine and was just thinking about colors for it and how I wanted to build it. I decided when I get to it to use the stripes. You probably just saved me alot of aggravation.

[jparsons1969]

He's right, the decals are very fragile. I really wanted to use the black Super Bee side stripes. Got one side put on, then the other side tore in two with no way of fixing it (too small to work with). My kit also contained a lot of flash which resulted in alot of trimming. Not one off my favorite kits at all.

Folks, the recent mpc 1970 coronet kit share 3 or 4 entire plastic tree with the 1968 roadrunner amt "muscle cars" series kit.

 

Looks like MPC wanted to re-issue it's old kit using some of the more realistic part trees from the more recent amt kit. It's exactly the same mold. They must have signed an agreement to use AMT mold. Was a cheaper solution than having to spend several thousand bucks creating new molds.

 

Thats the reason the kit displays two dashes, several extra parts and fitting problems.

[Edsel-Dan]

AMT & MPC have been ONE company for Almost 25 years!!. Ever since Ertl bought them.

No agreement needed

Yes, the Chassis/engine parts in this 70 Coronet Super Bee Are from the Modern tool 68 Road Runner/69 GTX.

The Windows are also from them!

This kit has been called a Boxed Kitbash kit Since the First re-issue.

 

The Original Chassis/engine is likely what you get in the Roscoe Police car or 74 GTX/Road Runner/Daisey Duke kit

 

I do wish the Original kits Rally wheels were included.

I am getting tired of ONLY the 5 spoke rims in ALL of Round2's MoPar kits

 

What happened to all the Hubcap options in these Old kits too??

pm me an address and I'll mail you one.

I've got a couple of them

Missing Link makes a real nice R/T convertable body/interior for this kit, has the pitchfork hood, platform interior with seperate side panels, convert boot & PE badges. The side scoops are molded on the body. Pretty sure they'll sell the hood separately if you ask nice. I would post pics but I've misplaced my SD card for the camera.

[High octane]

I believe that you can get the "pitchfork" hood from : www.smblockdodgeresins.webbs.com also.

Thanks Daniel. Didnt know AMT/MPC was the same company. I should've googled it before commenting...lolll   And yes you're right...Dog dish wheels should ALWAYS be included in all modern mopar kits aside magnum and rally wheels.  Those three rims options should be available in all mopar kits.

[moparfarmer]

After reading this post you've got me wanting to get one of these kits. Never though much of it, being so much like the 68 RoadRunner/69GTX kits.  They were a little off in soooo many ways but built up fairly well.  Got to get me a Super Bee...

[Nick Notarangelo]

this is one of those kits if you have any of the other mopar kits from the 70's "ie dukes charger" you can update the chassis an drive line with,plus you can also use the other engine in it to update the mill in the little red express pick up to freshen it up also.

[oldscool]

The pitch fork hood is also available from Modelhaus.
