Racing has always been the motivating factor in the sports & muscle
car arena. Manufacturers have been competing against one another
since the inception of the automobile. As time has gone by, racing
organizations created, rules formulated, and restrictions
implemented to balance competition for racing participants. One of
the oldest and most successful of these American racing
organizations is NASCAR (National Association of Stock Car Auto
Racing) with inception in 1948. By the late-1960's, some of the
most prominent of race car legends were in their prime. Names like
David Pearson and Richard Petty were household names, and a heated
battle between Ford and Dodge had begun. Pearson's Ford Torino
Talladega was the spur that ignited Dodge to produce a faster
design. They turned to state-of-art aerodynamics and wind tunnel
testing as the ultimate solution. It lead to the Dodge Charger
Daytona in 1969, and ultimately the further refined Plymouth
Superbird in 1970!
By this time, NASCAR required certain eligibility requirements to
include at least one production example for every two dealerships
that existed in the country. This meant at least 1,920 Superbirds
had to be produced to qualify for the 1970 racing season. Fitted
with a huge rear wing, pointed nose cone with retractable
headlights, and rear-facing front fender scoops for reduced wheel
well air pressure and aid tire clearance, it made for quite a
potent high speed contender! Actual commercial production numbers
vary depending on where you look, but the general consensus lists
1,935 as the true number built. Of those, 135 where carry the
potent street Hemi, only 716 with the Super Commando 440 Six Pack,
and the balance of production cars would house a 440 Super Commando
4-barrel under the hood. Today, these one-year only production
examples are among the most favored MOPAR collector statements to
own!
Offered here is a rotisserie restored 1970 Plymouth Superbird
finished in code correct EV2- TorRed over H2X9- Deluxe Black Vinyl
bench seat interior with matching Black vinyl top! Under the hood
lies a completely number's matching V-code 440ci Super Commando Six
Pack and A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission with 8�
Sure Grip rear axle. Options include power steering, power front
disc brakes, hood lock-down pins, vacuum powered retractable
headlamps, Rallye gauges with Tic-Toc-Tach, 15" Rallye wheels
wearing Goodyear Polyglas F60-15 raised white letter tires,
Chrysler solid state AM/FM radio, Road Runner Beep-Beep horn, glove
box lamp, all original Chrysler window glass, and more!
The all number's engine & transmission were both restored to
process components and finishes as delivered new, including the
Edelbrock intake, proper Holley carburetion, hoses & clamps, plugs
wires, starter, decals, and other various MOPAR specific
appointments. It is showing just 41,866 chassis miles from new and
represents one of the finest in existence! The presentation inside
and out matches the high degree of attention also given to the
undercarriage and chassis components. Even the finishes in the
trunk are perfect to house the original spare, jack, and trunk mat!
With nothing left untouched, it really makes a strong statement to
the attention it received to bring to this level of showmanship! It
has been recently serviced to ensure it's running at optimum
performance, including a full brake inspection and adjustment! One
