Ain’t they?

Looks like an old drag car

Well we try and respect them, but sometimes the need for the smell of racing fuel, the sound of an open-headered Hemi, and the bass of the elephant motor overwhelm us. Can't beat that effect.

People with money like that usually have large pieces of property. So neighbors are a ways away.

I agree Duston, Mike is a great guy. Thanks for the comment too.

Yea we just drove it up for a car show last weekend!

Me too. I'd trade your ex-wife for this Superbird any day. 😉😇

Yep-I have heard that before. These cars were not that well assembled as you know. When I had the nose off of the Daytona in 1 of the other videos a friend of mine commented on "who did that crappy paint job?" and I told him that would be the manufacturer! Some of the show judges are that way!

Not as many passes as you may be thinking, 1/4 mile race, thena 1/8 to 1/4 mile shutdown area, plus the return road back to the pits, staging lanes, and starting line. So about one mile per pass at a 1/4 mile track, but did it see any action at the 1/8 mile tracks around the country?

Automatics were generally more popular with mopars

A lot 428 and 429 cj engines were c6 equipped

Thanks Mike! No prize for 100th though.

I doubt that much of this car is stock. It's quite obvious that it's a clone and not a factory production car.

@@sergeantmasson3669 if you think that's a clone something is clearly wrong with you... I meant more or less the body and motor I know the motor is built to hell and back but I bet it's what it came with. I'm no dodge boy so don't get upset at me 🤣

Isn't the original engine though, but still valuable hell yeah

Most hemi cars are low mileage but they’re still wore out; racing takes a toll!

The engine could not be moved back that far without noticeable modifications.

Sounds very mild.

@@mysterycomment1553 Just a Mild Lope.

@@garyb5796 if it sounds like that with open headers then with a full exhaust it would basically have no lope. It needs a more radical cam to go with the cars look. Engine must be different from when it was raced.

@@mysterycomment1553 It's just the standard 10.5 to 1 flat top pistons with a thin steel headgasket factory HP Cam. If you can't hear it @4:29 your deaf. Put the exhaust back on it and you'll hear it crackel in the headers as you watch it idel from under the hood at the same time.

@@garyb5796 don’t care it’s mellow. Not a lot of crackle. Even a stock 383 has that same crackle this hemi has with open headers. Real cam you would hear a healthy crackle out the exhaust not just the crackle at the headers. This was supposed to be a race car.

hands hurt sory spelling .its #42 in sixpac /6bbl regerstery need spra7y money to get to track

B5 blue is boring.

Nope. Not every car needs to be a concourse restoration. This is 70s cool and it should stay that way.

My favorite color is blue. In about 1969-70, all the Memphis cop cars were B5 blue, maybe to match the blue Mickey Mouse lights, I dunno. They were Coronets, if I remember correctly. As a little kid, I loved that sh*t to death! AND they were Mopars! Having said all that, I think this paint job is the bee's knees. Not only because it reflects the period, but more importantly, because it looks so damn cool! 😃

The above comment is the kind that misleads real fans. To clarify the mistakes in the above comment: First: This is an "R" code Superbird-that means a Hemi, documented with 2 build sheets, complete documented history with owner history and verification and title copy tracing to when sold by Chrysler and has been invited to display at the Chrysler nationals in July after numerous other displays. It has been certified as original by both of the 2 Chrysler nationally acknowledged experts, neither of whom are the commenter. It has been acknowledged by numerous Mopar and other publications (well over 50) going back for 50 years as an original Hemi Superbird. Second: You quote 135 Hemi Superbirds being made. No one can verify that number, including the national aero warriors association or various Chrysler engineers, even though Google and others show it. No one knows, particularly Google. The NASCAR certified list of Superbirds shows 93. That list is available-I have a copy of it, and it can occasionally be purchased on Ebay. Perhaps it is correct, perhaps 135 is correct, or perhaps somewhere in between. Just because Google says it does not make it so. Third: You state Chrysler sold an aero-package kit over the counter. I worked in Chrysler parts during the 1970's. We never sold such a kit, there was no such kit from Chrysler. Aftermarket developers such as Janak and others have since developed fiberglass kits, and some individuals have actually made a few 3rd party steel noses available from them directly. Fourth-Yes Jeff Dunham owns a Hemi Superbird. So do I. Fifth: Restore to original. Your opinion is of course your opinion but I choose to leave it as a time capsule of history of 1 of somewhere around 100+- Hemi Superbirds made, but still wearing the nostalgic paint job from that era.

No way... How many restored Superbirds are out there? A bunch (relatively) How many unrestored survivors? Very few. How many still sporting all of their period modifications? Even less. Park this alongside 10 restored originals that all look alike... This one is the most interesting. Saw this car in person and it is awesome.

@@indianadave8881 Current condition, it's not worth near as much as one restored to original condition..

Who cares what it's worth. It's cool as it is right now and to any real enthusiast that's what matters

Sergeant Masson You don’t know jack about mopars! Go polish your blue oval. Lol
