1970 Plymouth Superbird V8
Description
Power comes from a numbers-matching 440ci V8 that has been fitted with a “six-pack” induction setup, and equipment includes a numbers-matching three-speed automatic transmission, Superbird-specific aerodynamic bodywork, power-assisted brakes with front discs, and an AM radio.
The 440ci V8 has been fitted with a triple-two-barrel induction system.
The removed intake manifold, four-barrel carburetor, and air-cleaner assembly will accompany the vehicle.
The engine-block stamping reads 0A165362, which matches the final characters of the car’s chassis number.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed 727 automatic transmission.
Based on Plymouth’s mid-size Road Runner model, the 1970-only Superbird was redesigned for NASCAR competition, which required Chrysler to produce approximately 2,000 examples for homologation.
Features include an aerodynamic nose cone, fender vents, a tall rear wing, and special decals.
This car was delivered new in Vitamin C Orange (EK2) with a black vinyl top (V19) and have been finished in orange in 2005.
A replacement black vinyl roof covering has been fitted.
Gray-finished 15″ wheels wear chrome beauty rings and are mounted with Goodyear Polyglas GT white-letter tires.
The power-assisted braking system utilizes front discs and rear drums.
The interior features bolstered front buckets and a rear bench with black upholstery and white piping.
Road Runner–branded mats protect the matching black carpeting, and an AM radio is mounted in the center of the dashboard.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of instrumentation that includes an 8k-rpm tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline and an inset analog clock, a 150-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges.
The five-digit odometer shows 75k miles, true mileage is unknown.
