Did anyone run these and if so does anyone have any pics of them? Or at least of the cage and interior or under hood? I’m assuming it would be basically the same as the Petty 68 Roadrunner?

If you Goggle "Bobby Watson superbee" there are a few pic that show up. It appears that it was used in ARCA racing.

A decal maker named LOBO graphics makes decals for an all white Coronet. You can search for them here or ebay. Please make sure you use authentic decals from the original source, it matters. Anyway, there was another driver I can't think of right now

I recall a lengthy thread on the old Randy Ayers website regarding a white 1970 Dodge Coronet that ran in USAC as # 38, and also in some ARCA races too. Various automotive - based websites such as Pinterest have posted photos before.

Charlie Glotzbach drove a white 1970 Dodge Coronet in a 1971 race at Greenville Pickens - it's on youtube - there's some close up shots of the car around the middle of the race

I found a few vague references to Fred Lorenzen driving a white 1970 Coronet #28 fielded by H.B. Ranier. It was run in the Volunteer 500 on July 19,1970. Would Mr Lorenzen have been using the red or blue numbers by then? I’m assuming red since that’s what his Daytona was using at that time.

Canadian Hall of Fame racer Howie Scannell was a familiar sight in victory lane with his early '70s Dodge Coronet. Top competitor back then at Cayuga, Delaware, Flamboro and Pinecrest speedways where annual summer feature races routinely drew the Allison brothers or top regional racers like Bob Senneker, Dick Gregory, Jerry Makara.

There's some other good shots of the full car on Racers Reunion but they won't post on here.

Wow, those cars look like the local bull ring participants at the end of the season. Plowing any/all winnings into keeping the thing on the track and dismissing such qualities as straight body work.

These guys raced three sometimes four nights a week back then with the same car, not much time for body work.

The Glotzbach #38 and the Lorenzen #28 Coronets were the same car. White, with his dark blue/light blue shadow graphics. This car was the former Goldsmith '68 Coronet #99, bought by Harry Ranier and reskinned into a '70.
