WOW

[Birdflu]

They're still out there!

[Dragon Slayer]

So 10-20K to restore or 100K? :-)

[chargervert]

That would cost 100k to do a proper restoration on,but I think a freshly restored V code matching numbers 4 speed car would bring more than 170k in the current market.

[Dragon Slayer]

It is a great color and option combo in my opinion, so I agree it can bring good money.  I guess it really matters how much of the original number and date code parts still on it.  And what paper work.  But I also think 100k is low unless someone doing all the work themselves.

Imaging it needs frame, pans, body metal, etc.. 100K in body/paint and another 60K in parts + labour to do mechanicals and interior.

Hagerty currently values a #1 6 pack bird at $290K + 10% for 4 speed. A #2 at $193K

I just had them insure mine for $175k Cdn (130US) and I'd put it at about a 2.5... and they told me I wasn't covering it for enough. Well maybe not for them, but I certainly won't cry...

[WINGIN IT]

One of the best color / interior / engine combos IMO .
On the east coast, betcha this one gets sold fairly quickly.

1970 Plymouth Superbird original 440 6bbl motor 4 speed. 3:54 Dana 60. Clean title Car has been sitting 10 years B-5 Blue exterior. White Bucket seats, console interior. Needs full restoration : rear quarters, trunk and interior floor plans, gas tank rear window lower valance. Someone replaced the 6bbl system with an aftermarket dual quad system. You will spend 10's of 1000's, but if you have that kind of $$ and/or skills, then you will have a car worth 200-300 k Price firm

Should I win the Mega Millions lottery this week, I would buy it and send it to Mike Mancini at American Muscle Car Restoration in Rhode Island for a full restoration.  Call me when it's ready Mike!

What  !! 

[gtx6970]

Not sure I could say good or bad deal based on whats shown. FAR to much not shown. Especially around the rear window and plug . I can see just enough to question why that area isnt shown in the ad. And I dare say that car has been sitting for far longer than 10 years stated

BUT, based on whats shown and I would dare say back half sheetmetal ( quarters, trunk, decklid  etc etc ) I think I could do that car for under $100k. will I or do I want to ? NOPE.
I would send the bare empty shell to a buddy of mine in New York, Holgar at Supercar Restorations. and I would do everything else in house)

If it needs fenders , the bottom of the nose and / or a hood, add $10-25k

My thought exactly!

About 25-30 years ago, I caught wind of a B5 440-6 4-speed blue Superbird in Quincy MA. I knocked on the door one day, but no one was home. Makes me wonder if this is the same car?

Chances are it was the same car....


This bird has been around the block so to speak, last time I looked at it personally it was in Rhode Island many, many, many years ago, then it made it's way back into Massachusetts, and a few owners since the last 25+ years, with each one doing nothing to the car....this car has spent it's entire life sitting outside every time I've seen it... surprisingly it's fared rather well considering it's neglect

[aerolith]

Come on now, who would leave a BLUE Birdie with a white interior OUTSIDE???

IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME HOW NEGLECTED THESE WONDERFUL CARS GET...

[bannedbird]

Dayclona or anyone: what is the earliest year you remember seeing the car?  I'm trying to get a timeline for possible match to another B5 car.  Thx.

[chargervert]

The Rhode Island car is a different car. That car was sold about ten years ago. This car has been owned by the current owner since the late 70s. The guy that owned the Rhode Island car currently owns a white U code 440 4 speed Superbird.

The Rhode Island car was originally EV2 orange, but had an Earle Schrib blue paint job on it. This Mass car was always blue. I looked at the Rhode Island car about a year before he sold it,and itvwas worse than this B5 car. The rear window was broken on the RI car too.

chargervert: so your saying the B5 V code in Mass has been owned by same owner since late 1970's?  His ad in Craigslist says it's been sitting for 10-years, so I was thinking he had it only 10-years.  Otherwise maybe he lost his storage space or used the space to store something better 10-years ago!  Thx.
