David Freiburger's 1970 Super Bee Revival, Part 1 

Been following David frieburger since back n the day when he was doing carcraft he's the best

lol i just watch all the roadkill episode and got sad then i ran into this ... yay it continues

If you guys ever do read this you're the best of the best. I an thirteen years old and last summer I bought a 1981 Pontiac firebird trans am. The turbo trans am model. Rewind a little bit, in January my great uncle died. I hadn't ever met him before. My dad talked to him a week before his death about his 6.0 Ford truck. He had foot surgery and he had a heart attack from blood blockage at age 75. There was no warning so he still had a shop and a 200 foot long potato cellar full of tractors and 80's trucks and cars that are of no worth. We went to Idaho for a family reunion and we stayed at her house. At the time my dad was looking for a small tractor for your yard. We started looking around their property and we entered the pitch black potato cellar. I saw a huge case tractor and a bulldozer behind it. On the right side there were motors and transmissions and a bunch of treasures. There were RVs and trailers and 80's cars and trucks but nothing of my interest. I made a saying that says "you can't be a true farmer without one cool car", well I found that 1 cool car. behind a red early 90's Ford truck a grey Pontiac trans am say right there. I yelled to my dad, "it's a trans am." we came back inside and I told my great aunt, "if you ever go to sell it let me know". She said that other grand kids had expressed interest. She said that she'll ask them about it and tell me if I could be eligible to buy it. So I see it one more time for a month and that is all I can think about for a month. It was torture. I come home from school one day and my dad says "do you want to buy a trans am?" I yell yeah. He says I can buy it for $400 bucks. I tell him that it's sold. I do everything with in my power to get $400 we drive up and I see the car and boy you could tell that it hasn't seen daylight in a while. I look inside and see that the seats and the dash are in perfect condition. We go in to talk and I look at my title and look at the print date and it says 1992. It sat inside for 27 years. It has barley any surface rust and 99,232 miles on it. Still less than 100,000! We towed it home and I would look at people passing and each one would be looking at my car. We got it home and I cleaned it out and my dad and I just recently got the motor out. It will eventually have an ls2 in its place.

I love how in the beginning when Finnegan dropped that bolt all of you stopped smiling and was listening, hoping that it would hit the ground and not get stuck somewhere!! haha

I love reruns. Haven't seen this one in 12 years. 😀

These classic muscle cars stand out among today's traffic, they are the among the coolest cars on the road.

TY for all you do, MIKE, DAVE and all the people behind the scenes.

Love the look and feel of old school muscle cars. But, I'm also very glad for new school muscle car reliability & performance in my Redeye challenger.😎👍

Please never kill road kill, best car show ever! I am a car guy and get board fast with most so called car shows, you guys are the best!

Way cooler than anything Lamborghini or Ferrari or Bugatti or Mclaren has ever made.

Good to see a classic Mopar build - very refreshing. Go Dave!

I have a 1976 440 that I'm ready drop in a car when I can find one. Sweet, clean, and low mileage. Hell yeah man.

No matter what that is a nice car. Very ownable .

that car is so beautiful

ran outta roadkill

Scary to think how many cool cars are sitting around for years without seeing the light of day. Nice video!

that mat black hood and hood scoop looks so badass.

WHAT A CAR! I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I SAW ONE... COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

what a great looking car!

very nie video. watched the whole thing over dinner. Very enjoyable. I wish i had a car like yours...

These videos are fun to watch. I don't even particularly like hotrods, but it's nice to see people doing what they like to do.

David Freiburgers Dodge Superbee, can pass anything apart from a petrol station. Looks like some serious fun, that makes everything brilliant.

My 14th kid was made in the back seat of a 70 super bee!!!!

I remember this car driving around Glendale and Burbank back in the '80s. Good to see it back on the road again.

Just like Roadkill! Thank you RU-vid for finally suggesting this video...

I'm not a big chrysler fan but this old stuff always gets me.

Amazing looking car. God I love it.

What an amazing piece of machinery. OMG. I am a ford guy forever, with only one exception, well two, a 76 barracuda, and anything with the word 'bee' in it. Nice ride.

No other car shouts 'musclecar' like a Super Bee, they're just so absolutely 'right'.

These older episodes were so much more relaxed and not so up tight trying to please everybody. Definitely more entertaining!

I LOVE THE WAY THE SUPER BEE LOOKS FROM THE BACK ,SHOWING THE DANA 60. IT JUST LOOKS MEAN AS HELL. IHAD 2 MOPARS WITH DANA 60,1968 GTX,1964 DODGE POLARA. THE DANA JUST LOOKS REAL MEAN. WHAT DO YOU THINK, MIKE ELCAMINO.

one of my first issues of hot rod magazine i've encountered as a freshman in high school had the rumble bee which is this car. i remember reading about it and seeing pictures of them lowering the elephant into the beauty. brought back memories. thanks.

got such a burst of nostalgia for some reason when he threw on the 2012 tabs and said "we're legal!"

I saw one of those once. . . . It was fading from view in my Mustang's rear view mirror. ;)

This is my dream car

I was 10 years old in 1992. It was just sitting there at the gas station. It was a yellow 70 SB 440.... changed my life. This guy in the video needs the right hood.

Awesome video!!! Costs alot of money but hot rod road trippin' is the best!!! Last year, my wife and I drove from Troy, Montana to Minneapolis for the back to the 50's car show in her 1942 Ford business coupe. Had a blast!!! P.S. Love the Super Bee!!! The first car I ever drove was a '70 Super Bee when I was about five sitting on my older brothers lap. It was Plumb Crazy with a 318 and a 4 speed. It went bye bye when a tree fell across it one night. RIP.

Back when this was fun to watch.

i was there for that snow. we get snow in Vegas on occasion but not usually in March, lol. we stood under the stands to wait it out.

The transmission set up for 10yrs bro, wow all the fluid was still in the bottom of the pan when you took off but man y'll got that bad boy hitting no doubt!!!

Beautiful Super Bee, looks like one hell of a fun road trip.

holy shit those Mopars look super clean

I know David, nice guy. Worked with him at Jacobs Electronics in L.A. back in '84. We used to dare each other to buy yet another round of "death burrito's" from up the street on a weekly basis. I had a 'Cosworth Twin-Cam Vega' back then - At one point I was interested in his 'Bee' and asked how much he'd sell it for. 3K was his price. For whatever reason I passed. Great to see you're doing well, David. Nice car - Nice job.

It's fun to watch this two guys doing all this cool things.

i remember, had to be 1996, seeing this beauty in my hot rod issue. glad to see it back.

I remember watching this when it premiered I was 16. Damn that was a while ago

This is my number 1 dream car but a plum crazy 440 six pack car

Holy crap! 11.5 mpg out of a 484 Hemi. My '70 Challenger R/T with a stock 383 only gets 12!

wow the origins of roadkill! ;)

thats a sick number plate

I remember when this car was a feature in Car Craft some years back when Dave was there. It was a great read, And they did a lot of quality work on this car. Hope to see it again soon.

Watching your show really really get me fired up to finish my project. Keep up the awesome work guys best car show getting around...

roadkill before roadkill was roadkill

Roadkill b4 roadkill love it they're a fn hit in my book

David Freiburger is soooooooo damn awesome! You Rock Dude! HotRod

congrats dudes building a awesome super bee... well done

I extremely like the fact of your video!!! Have a great time when life isn't perfect! But having one of those dream jobs and being loved by the Hot Rod Bars and unknown friends shows your doing fine!!!

Got to love their attitude when firing up that cold beast!

Pretty thrilled to find Hot Rod has so many videos uploaded.

this thing have such awesome stance going down the road loveeee it

The coronet looks beautiful, good job guys.

Nice Super Bee, I love it. Great job and thanks for sharing.

what a beautiful car

That’s a freaking gorgeous car

9:35 that '60s Dodge A100 is so cool!

I love it! This is how hot rodin goes. I just changed springs in the front of my 73 TA twice tonite to no avail. Threw out my original set (front, like a dumbass) got a pair from PST and it sits like a strait axle car with one side exceptionaly high. changed sides and the oppost side raised higher than the other. I'll get it though and that's what everyone has to keep in mind. I had cam bearing issues, an old builder gave me advice but not an ans. then I tracked it dwn and won't forget. Remember

Beautiful Car. My dream car to restore is a early 1970s Challenger R/T.

Thumbs up, shame about the transmission, but that still has to be an all time dream car. :)

What's up FREIBURGER!! Glad 2 see ya finally got it done!!!

Richard Johnson is Smiling, David...

great story, video and editing, keep them coming, waiting to see part 2

Guys, you are fun to watch. Nice footage!

AWESOME !

Thats what i call REAL CARS

Absolutely awesome video!! Loved the car and you guys are real funny, I laughed my head off. Cheers, Jeff from NZ

How good they don't use the "old film" effect no more. Thank you editor.

OMG! Beautiful car!

Awesome car big block

I think every man on the planet including myself would have no problem getting paid to do what these lucky guys do.

Superb B

My dream mopar

So much win on that demon in the background.

Check out that big line of Dakota R/T's at 7:52! Props to those guys for representing the little truck that thinks it's a Challenger.

Very cool video

They all look sooo young here, even though it was only five years ago.

Luv the hood gave me some ideas hate bond on glue

I dig this video! Well done and kept me watching to see the outcome...nice job guys. Would love to have you give my super bee a once over after it arrives!

@jbsjunk No shakedown. It had not run since '99, and we jammed to get it running in about a week with a fresh engine, trans, rearend, fuel system, oil system, and a few suspension parts. Drove it around the block three times at midnight, then hit the road for Las Vegas.

ok,this my 3rd time watchin this...nice job guys

Fun show, but trailering a racecar to & from the track is always a really good idea... Especially when that track is well over 250 miles away!!! The cost of an inexpensive car trailer would be less than the cost of towing that distance... And one could sell the trailer if they had to, after it was used to transport the car, or even rent a car trailer... That would even be le$$... But to transport a vehicle worth $85K., like this '70 Hemi Coronet Super Bee is, I think a $2,500 car trailer would have been a very good idea...

Grew up in a 1970 Charger 383 Magnum. Black On Black !

Awesome ride man!

I love this car!

It was up until the 2:50 mark that I was thinking "how does David get time to put the magazine together". Love the videos man, keep up the good work.

Awesome car!!

"Drag strips aren't supposed to have 1,000 foot marks" So true...lol Car looks great...

Prius get 40 mpg. Mopar gets laid

Nice car

"Maybe he pussed out" I can't stop laughing at that. Nice work on the video keep them coming.

and is fun to drive, worth every penny.
