A sight for sore eyes for any muscle car enthusiast, the Plymouth Superbird was a force to be reckoned with on the track and a rare gem for collectors.
With a production limited to just over 1,900 units, these special edition vehicles based on the Plymouth Road Runner have become highly sought-after classics.
While estimates suggest over 1,000 Superbirds are still around, the most valuable ones are the mere 135 powered by the legendary 426 Hemi V8.
Though the Superbird’s reign on the racetrack in 1970 with Richard Petty behind the wheel was short-lived due to regulation changes, it left an undeniable mark alongside its Dodge Charger Daytona counterpart.
Pop the door on a Plymouth Superbird and you’re greeted by a stunningly simple yet purposeful interior. High-back bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl offer both comfort and support, their clean lines accented with crisp white piping.
A Hurst pistol-grip shifter sits proudly in the center console, beckoning the driver to unleash the fury under the hood. Behind the classic three-spoke steering wheel lies the heart of the machine: a legendary 440 cubic inch Super Commando V8.
This powerhouse features a four-barrel carburetor for maximum performance, a unique dual-snorkel air intake system, and a vibrant orange block that adds a pop of color.
Pumping out a factory-rated 375 horsepower, it sends all its muscle to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The seller boasts that all the engine components are original, making this Superbird a true collector’s dream.
