Vehicle Details

Another incredible Mopar collectible from the same owner as the 1970 AAR Cuda. This is a Superbird. Iconic and race-proven, it was the monster muscle car of the 70s. This one was in for some simple maintenance – fluids, checking the transmission and a general tune-up.

The 1970 Plymouth Superbird is one of the wildest and most legendary muscle cars ever built. Designed as a NASCAR homologation special, it was Plymouth’s response to the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, aiming to dominate high-speed oval racing.

Key Features of the 1970 Plymouth Superbird
Aero Package

Massive rear wing—nearly two feet tall—to provide high-speed stability.
Aerodynamic nose cone—a pointed, extended front end that reduced drag and improved airflow.
Flush-mounted rear window (on modified Road Runner bodies) to further improve aerodynamics.
Engine Options

440ci (7.2L) Super Commando V8 – 375 hp, 480 lb-ft torque (standard engine).
440ci Six-Barrel (3×2 carb setup) – 390 hp, 490 lb-ft torque.
426ci (7.0L) HEMI V8 – 425 hp, 490 lb-ft torque (ultimate option, only about 135 built).
Performance & Legacy

Dominated NASCAR, with Richard Petty at the wheel.
Required at least 1,920 street cars to be built for homologation (actual production: around 1,935).
Too extreme for most street buyers, with many lingering on lots well into 1971.
Now one of the most collectible muscle cars in existence.

If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself. Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car, and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see ‘where the magic happens.’ If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
