Well, it has happened, another wing car,,, this time a Plymouth Superbird

[hemi68charger]

Well gang.... As some may have guessed, deducted or whatever I was going to do after the sale of the Top Banana Challenger T/A, here's the answer... I have taken the duty to take on Allen's San Antonio Express, be the caregiver of his '70 Lemon Twist Superbird; 440 4bbl console pistol-grip 4speed.. It is a project, but one I'm looking forward in tackling. Initially, I was going to replace all the lines, install a tank, service the front end and brake system along.. Allen was kind enough to send me off with a 70 HP short block and misc engine components along with a small tote full of NOS parts for it.. I just got home.. Here are some pictures of the car during my trip to Ft. Worth. So, the T/A turned into a FY1 Superbird...

Mark, it is a car Allen holds near and dear to him.. Not sure when the process will be for it, but I know, figuratively, it is one of Allen's favorite children..  

I have known Allen practically half of my life and he's owned that car.... Allen,  you realize I've known you THAT long !!!??? I still remember driving to Carswell AFB there in Ft. Worth and attending my first Cowtown Mopar Club function.. Wow, how time flies....

Now that is a cool find. It would be awesome to get it on the road with new mechanicals and drive it around. Even if you choose to do a resto you know what you got. Looks to be a great car. Best of luck with it. Big bonus of buying it from a great Mopar guy.

On the look out for spare or better sheetmetal..

1. passenger side fender ( Superbird or '70 Coronet )
2. passenger side door ( could be from a variety of vehicles; '70 Coronet, Sat./RR/Belvedere/ and even 69 Plymouths and Dodges if I'm not mistaken )
3. Rear window plug..

Can't go wrong when you buy it from a friend you've know half your life and the money I gave him he'll put to good use...
