Few American muscle cars command the same level of admiration as
the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird. Built to dominate NASCAR
and now recognized as one of the most iconic homologation specials
ever produced, the Superbird's unmistakable aerodynamic styling,
towering rear wing, and signature nose cone have made it a true
legend among collectors. Finished in eye-catching Lemon Twist over
a black interior, this beautifully restored example represents an
outstanding opportunity to own one of Mopar's most celebrated
creations.
Powered by its legendary 440 cubic-inch 4-barrel V8 paired with the
dependable 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission, this
rear-wheel-drive Superbird delivers the authentic driving
experience enthusiasts expect from one of the era's most revered
muscle cars. The drivetrain has been carefully maintained, the
engine was completely resealed using new gaskets and freeze plugs
and serviced wherever necessary to ensure reliable performance.
This Superbird is exceptionally well equipped with desirable
factory options, including the special-order vinyl roof, 26-inch
radiator, 3.55:1 Sure Grip rear axle, 15-inch Rally wheels wrapped
in Goodyear Eagle NASCAR tires, high-back vinyl bucket seats,
center console with console-mounted shifter, power steering, power
brakes, AM radio, heat and defrost, dual exhaust, and the
unmistakable Road Runner "meep meep" horn. Of course, no Superbird
would be complete without its defining aerodynamic features,
including the signature nose cone, flip-up headlamps, and towering
rear spoiler that made this model an instant icon.
The current owner acquired the car in 2014 and invested in a
thoughtful, targeted restoration. It received fresh paint, new seat
upholstery, a new headliner, and numerous additional cosmetic
refurbishments, all while preserving its authentic character. The
result is a striking example that presents beautifully and reflects
the care and attention it received throughout its restoration. The
car comes with its original fender tag, and the engine casting
numbers, dates, and VIN stamping on the block are present, as shown
in the photos. Other relevant markings and stampings are present,
including the VIN number on the radiator core support. Owner
history and some restoration sheets are also included with the
sale.
With production believed to total just 1,935 examples for the U.S.
market, along with only a handful built for export, the 1970
Plymouth Road Runner Superbird remains one of the rarest and most
collectible American muscle cars ever produced. Whether destined
for a premier collection, weekend cruise, or prestigious car show,
this Lemon Twist Superbird stands as a remarkable example of Mopar
engineering and NASCAR history.
