Every now and then, a build comes along that’s so wild, so unique, that it completely redefines what a restomod can be. Enter this insane 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee — a vintage muscle car that’s been given a second life with the heart of a Dodge Viper. Built by Michal Golik from Poland, this incredible mashup pairs one of Mopar’s most iconic muscle cars with its most outrageous sportscar’s raw power, and the results are absolutely breathtaking.
The 1970 Super Bee already had muscle car cred in spades. Its unmistakable split-grille design and B-body aggression stood out even among its peers. Originally Dodge’s answer to the Plymouth Road Runner, the Super Bee was a no-nonsense, high-performance machine offered with serious powertrain options like the 440 SIX PACK and the mythical 426 HEMI®. But this particular Super Bee takes things to a whole new level.
Under the hood sits an 8.4-liter (513 cubic-inch) VIPER V10 — an aluminum powerhouse that cranks out 600 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque. This engine, borrowed from a Gen4 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10, transformed that sportscar into a world-beater capable of 0-60 mph in under four seconds and speeds north of 200 mph. Now, imagine that same performance dropped into a classic muscle car shell — that’s exactly what this restomod delivers.
But this Super Bee isn’t just about raw power. The custom black and orange color scheme makes it look as fierce as it drives, and the car’s slammed stance and modern wheels give it an edge that’s both retro and contemporary. The attention to detail on this build is impressive, from the pinned-down hood to the subtle performance tweaks that make sure this vintage beast can handle the V10’s fury.
What sets this build apart is the seamless integration of modern performance into a classic package. While some purists might balk at the idea of swapping out a big-block Mopar for a Viper engine, there’s no denying the results. This Super Bee isn’t just fast — it’s a rolling tribute to Dodge’s high-performance legacy, blending old-school muscle with cutting-edge engineering.
