Vehicle Description
This 1970 Plymouth Superbird Re-creation Resto-Mod, nicknamed "The
White Monster," is an over-the-top build with thousands of hours
invested. The Nelson Racing engine is a fully polished all-aluminum
572ci twin-turbo HEMI boasting a capable of more than 1300hp on
race fuel, and operates on a pump-gas-friendly system. The
Octane-on-Demand fuel system consists of a dual-bladder fuel tank,
allowing the engine to operate on both 91 pump gas as well as race
gas when the need for "Boost" should arise. Every part of the body
has been modified or built from scratch. The rocker panels are
extended and wrap around to connect and become smooth with the Art
Morrison Max-G frame rails, the underbody has been cookie-sheeted
for a smooth seamless appearance, the front original steel Mopar
nose cone has been tucked and gapped flush with the front fenders,
the headlight doors operate on electric actuators, the twin
fabricated water-to-air intercoolers are concealed neatly inside
the nose cone, and all the turbo and intake tubes are fully
polished pieces, along with the billet Anteater intake manifold.
The scratch-built TIG-welded 3.5" exhaust system is finished in
bright polished ceramic jet-coating; all the floor pans, tubs,
rockers and firewall are all hand-formed pieces; the rear wing is
hand-formed from sheet aluminum for light weight and durability;
the rear window plug is also fabricated sheet metal; all-new glass
and Electralife power windows were used; and the hood extension and
lower front fenders are handmade pieces. Halogen lighting headlamps
up front with DIGI-TAILS taillights in back. After its
modification, the body was finished in PPG custom-mixed Envirobased
paint and a specialty satin clear coat. Under the hood, concealed
in the completely smoothed engine compartment, is the dry sump
oiling system, huge Ron Davis custom radiator and dual Spal fans,
as well as the Vintage Air heating and cooling system. A full
race-prepped 4-speed 4L80E automatic transmission is operated by a
Compushift electrical system. A full set of Wilwood 13" 4-wheel
discs and 6-piston caliper braking system is attached to an
articulated floor-mounted brake pedal and master cylinder assembly
to employ the stopping power. Underneath is a Currie Enterprises
custom 9" rear end with triangulated 4-link Strange axles, 3:55
posi-traction gear set and a chromoly driveshaft. The car sits on
Budnik 18x8" and 20x12" polished wheels wrapped in massive Mickey
Thomson rubber. The stock appearing interior received many
modifications to accommodate the new floors and structures, as well
as the 4-point roll cage. It sports a RetroSound audio system, air
conditioning, Dakota Digital gauges and optional paddle-shifted
transmission.
