1970 Plymouth Superbird Original 426 HEMI car! One of 136 VIN
RM23ROA181256 Own a true American legend
The Superbird is an American automotive legend. The high-speed
tracks known as Superspeedways became dominated by the highly
modified super cars easily spotted by a nose cone, tall rear wing,
vents along the top of the front fenders, a pinned hood and
stainless-steel-A-pillar covers. All cars were also fitted with a
black, boar-grain vinyl roof regardless of paint color. At high
speeds the flush rear window eliminates the sail panels. These
including the Charger Daytona's were the first American car ever
designed in a wind tunnel. This led to the first car to break the
200-mph speed barrier in NASCAR competition. Richard Petty won
eight races in 1970 from within the Superbird. The Superbird legend
only 1,920 examples were built. In total, only 136 production
Superbirds came equipped with the 426 Hemi "elephant motor" making
it the rarest of the engine options with a heavy-duty four-speed
manual.
The 426 Hemi V-8 big block's with two Carter AFB carburetors and is
said to have produced 425 (or some say 433) horsepower and 490
pound-feet of torque in dyno testing. The 0-to-60 time of 4.8
seconds. This is not a numbers matching, but is the correct date
code 426 Hemi. The 426 Hemi was built 20 over stock compression,
Direct Connection pistons along with stylite valves and seats for
unleaded gas. The overhauled 426 has just under 10,000 miles. The
Superbird is running an 833 4-speed manual overdrive transmission,
but the 18-spline trans comes with car. The overdrive trans makes
it much more fun to drive. A 5-core radiator that looks and appears
stock greatly helps keep it cool. The '70 Superbird is a 2nd owner
car since 1982. The full history from day one is available upon
request. This was a Chrysler Executive car out of Texas, and in
1971 became available through the Race Drivers Program.
In 2010 the Superbird was restored with new sheet metal from the
doors back, trunk floor, wheel housings, rear panel, rear quarter
panels. A complete prime to paint in Blue Metallic (B5). New
interior carpet including sound deadener, seat covers front and
rear, headliner, vinyl top and a very rare "Clear" front
windshield. The front clip is an all sheetmetal nose cone. The dash
is all original except for a new main body wiring harness. The
tires have been upgraded to radial tires. Interior has the sporty
front buckets, the classic 3-spoke sport wood steering wheel and
Hurst Pistol Grip shifter. The finishing touches to the car include
a Superbird decal on the wing's vertical struts, driver's side
headlight cover, steering wheel insert, and door panels, which
feature a picture of the Warner Brothers Roadrunner cartoon
character holding a racing helmet. The final detail is a
"beep-beep" horn.
