no decals, no spare tire or jacks.... 

[Aero426]

That car has been off the radar screen for a long time.   

[rob-dirt]

    I dont like the tail light pannel blacked out   

[birdsandbees]

Would love to see some more pictures and documented history. Trunk lid doesn't fit right, trunk is undercoated or painted black. Been repainted, no decals.. all on what is supposed to be less than a 10,000 mile car?

think this car has had some body work & a quickie blow over paint job , just to sell / advertise   unless its  how the pictures look through my computer screen,

Really?  A starting bid of 275K?   Hmmm.  Good luck with that. 

[A383Wing]

well, it's not "complete", and if it's been repainted, it's not an original survivor as the seller states

[rob-dirt]

The seller could have AT LEAST Pumped up the tires before taking the pictures Im in at 175k  wonder what the reserve is

[rob-dirt]

Talked to the seller today very nice guy has had the car since 1972  also has a 440-6 pack white auto he told me he is getting up in age and its time to let a few go offers over 300k will take the car ..... And that leaves me out 

[hemi68charger]

Would be a cool car for sure..... Looks like the leading edge of the hood is either too thick or doesn't have the appropriate lip-over on the leading edge or something...

What's the odds he will get an offer over 300K?
I'd rather have the David Spade Hemi Daytona. Didn't that sell for 200K?

I think it is a very nice looking car. Everybody can find something they want to bring up about it.

For me the boxes to check are; is it a real car, is it a numbers car, what is the paperwork, how much work does it need? If the current owner has had it since 1972 that is a long term history.

I think the hood just is not down because the hood pins are not in, easy enough to ask. It could have some rust in the black trunk floor.

Everyone that has a perfect car can say theirs is better than this. What is a somewhat project worth? Compared to what folks with a perfect car want, this could be OK or not. Someone needs to actually look at it.

the David Spade/Tim Welborn Daytona went for over $900,000

Wow, I guess my memory is worse than I thought!

[Bobs69]

I'm surprised he couldn't be bothered at least putting air in that flat tire.

Perhaps actually pull it outside for a photo shoot?  After all he is asking $275 000.

[taxspeaker]

It would be worth a drive to Ohio to see this. The spade Daytona brought more because it was a Daytona, but if that price is a measuring stick, this would be potentially worth 300k I think.

Agree.   Anyone priced Hemi 4-spd Birds lately?  At the moment, at something near 300, there is some room to restore the car.

Last one at mecum bidded up to 275 k and quit that was jan 15-24 2016 white auto  https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/FL0116-230009/0/1970-Plymouth-Hemi-Superbird/Automatic/  i guss if you wanted one they dont come around to often

[wingcarenvy]

It seems like a neat car, off the radar and long long term owner. That guy loves that car despite its flat tire.

Yes, but that one at Mecum was white, column automatic and a bench seat.   Those are three strikes against it before a bid has been placed.    Having the 4-gear option takes the other car to the head of the line.   High impact and buckets help too.    

I personally like the white color on a Bird.   But I've heard from more than one person that it is perceived as a negative.   

[Lighthorseman]

Wow.  275K is not an unreasonable starting point?  I guess it's me who deserves a  then.
