I used to see this particular car sit in the dealership showroom in my town when it was brand new, St. Augustine, FL, as kid growing up. The story went it was sold, and the buyer didn't like it, and traded it in on something else. The owner of the dealership kept it in the showroom for over 20 years. When he sold the dealership, he kept the Superbird and put it in a warehouse right next to my shop. I used to go over and look at it from time to time. He would not sell it. He eventually passed away, and his family held an estate sale auction. If memory serves it sold for $85,000 to a childhood friend of my brother. He got it running, and sold it sometime later for somewhere around $145,000. I can't remember exactly what year that was, somewhere around 2005 I think.

I got to see a 70 S.B. in 1983 up close. It was Lemon Twist(deep yellow) with a strikingly rich black vinyl top. Gorgeous car with a 440 and auto on the floor shifter. Someone that night decided to plop their ass on top of the center of the wing. It did NOT bend much less break. It was gorgeous black vinyl or leather interior. As a kid in those days you were impressed to see something like that. It was a rare sighting for me. Total unit production of 1970 Plymouth Super birds was 1935. You're seeing just 1 of 77 with 426 HEMI option.

@@rickbailey189 Plymouth themselves never cared about actually selling these cars, the only reason they were sold at all to the public was because NASCAR regulations had a rule that stated a car can only be raced in NASCAR if it sells a certain amount of that variant to the general public, which I think by 1970 the regulations were 2 for every 1 Plymouth dealership. I could be wrong though, but prior to the Bird you had the Dodge Daytona which had to sell 500 production models in 1969

@@The.Rooster Correct. 1935 Super Birds were produced and 503 Dodge Daytona's. Both were "1 year wonders." FORD and CHRYSLER Motors were duking it out like two heavyweight boxers out on the racing circuit. These 2 variations of the WING CAR were produced so that they could attain that "magic 200 MPH". I believe it was BIll France(NASCAR God father) was the one who imposed those rules. I believe it was 1 Super BIrd for every 2 Plymouth dealerships, hence 3870...give or take. The wing cars were laughable at the time an nobody really wanted them so many just sat a dealerships for several years. Today, they're worth a mint(fortune). Most especially the HEMI versions.

@michaeldavidfigures9842 Жыл бұрын

The little cowls on either side of the hood were meant to conceal a ventilation system which created vacuum pressure which created a downdraft pulling the car closer to the track making it even more aerodynamic. Interestingly the Superbirds never received the venting. The cowls were really just for show. Daytonas have the vent system and if you look under the cowls, you can se a pattern of holes drilled through the body to facillitate the air to flow. Seems kinda low tech, but it works. If you've ever been in a Daytona when you get up to around 80 mph you can actually feel the car being pulled down closer to the road deck.

1 of 77 produced with AUTO trans. That's pretty rare people. Is it worth 1.5 M? No. I believe it could be worth in the high 6 figures though. Fabulous example of a 70 HEMI S. B. which probably sold originally for about 5 to 5.5 grand give or take a few 100 bucks. Orig. list price for 440 Super bird was $4,298 in 1970.😮

@@ryanpoage477 I believe a total of 135 SB came with the 426 HEMI engine. How many exist today only the DMV knows for sure. Originally, people laughed at the car. Did NOT want them. Plymouth had to make 1935 units(1 for every 2 dealerships in USA) IF they wanted to race the car at NASCAR. Quite an interesting story behind both the '69 Daytona and the '70 Super Bird. 1 year production only.
