This iconic Muscle car was built in November of 1969 in the Lynch Road Chrysler Plant in Michigan. Offered directly from the NASCAR Race track to your door-- High Impact colors were to show off this highly styled piece of art work-- High away head lamps and high rear wings set them apart of all other street prowling Muscle Cars. Handling is added by the front disc brakes and the power steering option made it easy to use in everyday street driving. The 440 Six Pack was the famed 3x2's Holley carburetors which were able to deliver a decent MPH--providing you were able to Keep you foot out of it Extended nose cone proved to be a challenge to fit this unique vehicle into many parking spots. the Sky-High rear wing made it easy to find in jammed parking lots. 150 mph speedometer and Color Tach added to the mystique
Plymouth said he NEVER made any money on these 308 Superbird's built. and to further add insult, many remained in the showroom floor as insurance rates on these cars blew through the roof and tastes and styles in this era began to shift away from this brand. Paint from the factory wasn't of very high quality. These finishes quickly failed and within a short time most required a New Paint job with a better type BC/CC to replace the checking lacquer jobs Chrysler and the other manufactures put out.
This Bird was delivered new into the Southern California Market. it received a brand new paint job in 1994 ---back to it's original Lemon Twist Yellow Booklet containing the Govier Report and Broadcast sheet and misc. receipts over the years. All known Superbird's had vinyl roof coverings to improve dynamics
This example is destine for a Special Private collection somewhere in the world
