what we can infer8›
Air conditioning was not available with the V-code 440 Six-Pack in 1970. The Six-Pack induction system left no clearance for the A/C compressor mounting on the 440-RB block.

V-code cars were restricted to 3.55, 3.91, or 4.10 final-drive ratios in 1970. Lower (numerically) ratios — 2.71, 2.94, 3.23 — were not orderable with Six-Pack induction.

Heavy-duty cooling was standard with the V-code: 26-inch radiator, seven-blade fan, and the larger inlet hose set. The cooling cells on the broadcast sheet are most useful for confirming this baseline rather than identifying an upgrade.

Heavy-duty suspension, including the front sway bar and increased-rate torsion bars, was standard with the V-code engine in 1970.

Big-block engines (383, 440, 426 Hemi) shipped with the heavy-duty Group 27 battery in 1970. Where the battery cell on this sheet is unreadable, the heavy-duty battery is the safe assumption.

Power steering was a regular-production option on every 1970 B-body, including the V-code Super Bee. A blank Power Steering cell on a legible part of the sheet means the option was not ordered. (If this region is destroyed rather than blank, this implication does not apply.)
available not ordered · factory-documented · Chrysler Corporation, scanned copies hosted on Internet Archive
1970 Super Bees in WM23 (2-door hardtop) trim shipped with either the bumblebee tail stripes or the longitudinal C-stripe along the body side, not both. The stripe choice was a no-cost option.

FE5 Bright Red over the H2X9 black-vinyl bench is one of the most-ordered B-body color combinations in 1970. Period dealer literature shows the pairing prominently in Super Bee and Road Runner brochures.
