INTRODUCTION: Authenticated by a David Wise Elite Validation Report, this is the real deal! It is a genuine Superbird with its original body numbers in place, original fender tag, and all the key identifiers collectors want to see. Finished in its highly desirable factory color combination, it features a correct 440 Super Commando engine, VIN-matching 727 TorqueFlite transmission, and an exceptional level of detail throughout. From the beautifully restored interior and highly detailed engine compartment to the solid, well sorted underside and iconic aerodynamic styling, this Superbird checks all the boxes. Whether you're looking for a blue-chip Mopar investment or one of the most recognizable muscle cars ever built, this authentic winged warrior is a standout example that will be the centerpiece of any collection. The Superbird is one of the most recognizable muscle cars ever built, and its radical aerodynamic design remains just as captivating today as it was in 1970.

EXTERIOR: The extended aerodynamic nose cone, towering rear wing, and stretched profile were developed for high speed NASCAR competition, giving the car a look unlike anything else on the road. This example presents exceptionally well, with outstanding fit and finish throughout. The body is laser straight with no signs of rust, damage, or poor bodywork. Repainted in its factory correct B5 Blue, the finish is laid out evenly across the entire car and polished to a smooth, glossy shine. The bold Superbird graphics and decals are crisp and vibrant, perfectly complementing the dramatic styling. The black vinyl top looks like new, weatherstrips have been replaced, and the windshield is crystal clear. Additional details include the correct antenna, dual mirrors, and a beautifully rechromed rear bumper. Completing the iconic appearance is a set of 15 inch Rallye wheels wrapped in reproduction Goodyear Polyglas tires, giving the car the exact stance and look it had in 1970.

INTERIOR: The highly desirable factory white interior is the perfect complement to the B5 Blue exterior, creating one of the most striking and recognizable color combinations available on a Superbird. The interior is in excellent condition throughout. The white upholstery on the seats and door panels is fresh and presents beautifully, while the carpet on the floor is clean and well kept. The white painted metal trim on the doors is finished nicely and matches the rest of the interior. The entire dash area is in outstanding condition, with the knobs, factory AM radio, and Rallye gauge cluster all looking great. Mounted neatly below the dash is a pair of AutoMeter Sport-Comp gauges, providing more precise readings while blending well with the car's muscle car character. The steering wheel features the desirable "beep-beep" horn button, a signature Road Runner touch. As with all Superbirds, the unique rear window design required a custom headliner and rear package shelf, both of which are in excellent shape. Overall, the interior is exceptionally well restored.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine bay is restored and detailed to a highly authentic factory appearance. At its heart is the correct 440 Super Commando rated at 375 horsepower. It is presented exactly as enthusiasts like to see them, featuring the stock exhaust manifolds, factory valve covers, restored air cleaner assembly, and even reproduction spark plug wires. The engine runs smooth, starts easily, and delivers strong performance. The wiper motor is detailed properly, the windshield squirters are hooked up, and the engine compartment is complete right down to the small details. The cooling system has been upgraded with an aluminum radiator while maintaining a stock appearance. It also features the distinctive Road Runner "beep-beep" horns, which are operational, and a factory style battery topper for an original appearance. Power steering and power brakes make this winged warrior much more enjoyable to drive. The entire engine compartment is finished in glossy body color B5 Blue and presents exceptionally well. A major plus for collectors is the presence of the hidden VIN stamping on the core support, not all Superbirds got that #. The original fender tag remains in place, further supporting the car's authenticity. The hood insulation is installed, and the compartment has been detailed with factory style assembly line markings and inspection stamps throughout.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is exceptionally clean, complete, and detailed throughout. Under the trunk lid, in the jamb, and inside the trunk, everything is finished in body color B5 Blue. It features a reproduction trunk mat, correct decals, and a fresh weatherstrip. One detail many Superbirds are missing is the complete jack setup, but this one has both original style jacks in place. Because the Superbird has a chrome rear bumper but no front bumper due to the aerodynamic nose cone, it was equipped with both a bumper jack and a scissors jack from the factory. Adding to its authenticity, the trunk contains the proper blue painted spare wheel wrapped with a reproduction Goodyear tire, along with the complete jack assembly. The metal wing support braces are also present. It also retains its hidden VIN under the weatherstrip.

UNDERSIDE: It is solid, clean, and well sorted. The floors, frame rails, and structural components are in excellent condition, with the floors neatly coated in factory style undercoating. The steering and suspension systems have been thoroughly inspected and sorted, making it ready to be enjoyed on the road. The brake system features front disc brakes and rear drums, and the emergency brake assembly is properly hooked up and functional. The exhaust system has been restored with a factory style reproduction setup, including the crossover pipe, correct mufflers, and chrome exhaust tips. The fuel tank has been replaced, and gas shocks have been added for improved ride quality. Looking up at the engine, it is exceptionally clean and has correct casting code. It has been upgraded with a high torque starter for dependable operation. Backing the 440 is its VIN-matching original 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission, which sends power to the 8�-inch rear end.

SUPERBIRD STORY: In 1969 the Dodge Daytona was built to win NASCAR races. The engineers at Mopar squeezed all the horsepower they could out of their cars, so they called in a rocket scientist to increase speed with aerodynamics. Every bend, curve and arch served a purpose. It wasn't for show, it was to win races and that is what it did. It was the first car to ever exceed 200 mph on a closed-circuit track. Over at Plymouth their star NASCAR driver, Richard Petty, was handicapped by the limitations of the Road Runner so he jumped ship and went to Ford. In 1970 it was Plymouth that would carry on the Winged Warrior program with the Superbird. It was an attempt to lure back Petty and win races, both were achieved. As a matter of fact, it won so many races it caused its own demise. The top speeds these cars were achieving caused NASCAR to change their rules which brought a quick end to the Winged Warriors. NASCAR regulations said the manufacturers had to offer whatever they were racing as a production car to the public. Each one was hand assembled at a remote location. They were rather obnoxious looking and impractical as an everyday car so they collected dust at the dealer showrooms, some dealers went as far as to remove the nose and wing. Today they are considered the holy grail of muscle cars!
