Only 500 of these were sold to the public because of NASCAR regulations at the time, over 1900 Plymouth Superbirds were built when that reg changed in 1970 to a "one-car-per-every-two-dealerships" formula.

” Not bad for something that cost $3,993 new”

I bought a Midnite-Blue 1964 Chevelle Malibu SS in November of 1963, just months after Chevelles were first introduced.
I bought it off the showroom floor, paid sticker price of $3290. A sheriff’s deputy in North Carolina pulled me over, walked around examining the car, then asked me how I liked it. I told him just fine. He got in his patrol car a drove off.

It was a good car, but a bolt came out of the flywheel and would somtimes get whipped around by the flywheel teeth, banging off the housing, sounding for all the world like a tommy gun firing. Eventually it blew a hole in the housing and egressed. Never had another problem.

We should raise some money for relocation expenses. ...and them pocket it, maybe by a Yes album like “Fragile”.

I never warmed to Mopar, but I hope the owner does well on this barn find.

That’s been sitting there a lot longer than four years. Check out the engine compartment pic at Fox.

Could have bought a 1970 Superbird with 426 hemi in orange in 1978 for $3k but parents wouldn’t co sign for loan. Worth $1M now? Wish I had that as a retirement fund now

No worries. You'd have sold it in 1980 for $2500.

Yes, “worth a ton.” Numerous people would love to clean it up, buff it out and rebuild every inch.

Probably, but I sold my Honda S2000 low mileage car that is now starting to be talked about as a collectable two years ago. You would have think I would have learned
