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!
