1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird

Description

This was filmed Saturday June 6, 2009 at the Fleetwood Country Cruize in London, Ontario Year: 1970 Make: Plymouth Model: Superbird Engine: 440 Super Commando, 440 Super Commando Six Barrel, 426 Hemi Produced: 1935 Yes i know i said Daytona in the video, i was referring to the fact that this car was based off the '69 Dodge Daytona, also the front fender scoops where for looks on the production Superbird and Daytona, but on the Nascar race versions, this allowed the fender to be cut to allow for tire clearance, also all production 1970 Superbirds have a Vinyl top, as this hides the weld seams left from the fitment of the flush mounted rear window, not sure what engine this car has, but what ever engine it has, it will defiantly move! also i think these cars are really interesting, and i think its quite radical for a automaker to produce something this crazy for production, and it was sure a radical answer to the Ford Torino Talledega and the Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II, which had very good aerodynamics due to there slanted fast back profile, anyways these cars did not sit well with car buyers of the time, and some '70 Superbirds sat on the dealership lots in till 1972!, and many where converted to standard Roadrunners!, only this past decade has there value increased, and now they are quite collectible, for more info, musclecars.howstuffworks.com en.wikipedia.org
