1970 PlymouthSuperbird Ultra Rare Factory 426 HEMI
Win on Sunday, sell on Monday was the philosophy of the big three manufacturers in the 1969, as the glory days of muscle cars and true stock car racing approached its pinnacle years. No car demonstrates a companies âat all costsâ desire to win races than the over the top âWinged Warriorsâ from the MOPAR camp. The Plymouth Superbird and close cousin Dodge Daytona. For 1970, Plymouthproduced fewer than 2,000 examples of the Superbird with a meager 135 delivered with a factory 426 HEMI engine.
This example of the Superbird has been restored to its factory correct colour of Tor-Red or HEMI orange as itâs known to the Dodge folks, with a black vinyl roof and black vinyl interior. If there were such a thing as a subtle Superbird, this car with its transverse stripe delete option would have to be it! What truly makes this Superbird special is the factory equipped, numbers matching 426 HEMI engine; making this 1 of the only 135 produced. Also equipped with power steering, power disc brakes and an automatic transmission, this HEMI âBird is a great driving example of a legend, one that would be equally at home on display as part of a large collection or rolling down the roads, turning the heads of enthusiast young and old. Whether its recognized as âThe King of racing or as a muscle car, it can't helped but be noticed.
