I found this internet data base of wingcars etc mopar or any make car your search that might have been in a movie old and new.Found the background story on the Joe Dirt movie car.Which I know was built by Pat Mc Kinney after he aquired the car with winged parts from Jim Radke.Also the blue superbird seen briefly in the warehouse of Gone in 60 Seconds was Pat Mc Kinneys aswell

If I'm not mistaken the Superbird is shown 2 times in the movie, with both shots at the same dinner, but its in the background another time I think. Maybe not the whole car, but maybe just the wing?

There is a micro second flash of a red winged car at speed on the salt flats in the beginning of The World's Fastest Indian.

Good and sad movie story.  In 1995 here in Seattle they (Big Break Films) used my Superbird in a movie named "Expert Witness"  It was to star Charles Naiper (Judge in Philadelphia with Tom Hanks).  They used the car for about 6 weeks on call.  A friend Ray got the car in the movie and was shown the edited product without sound and that is the last anyone has seen or heard of it.  Here are some pictures taken during the shooting.  If anyone hears or knows of the please let me know as it has not been released so far to my knowledge.  It is sitting somewhere in a can as I saw the amount of MONEY that was spent making it.  Enjoy the pictures.

[SBBob]

Just a couple more pictures.

The Superbird In Dazed & Confused is an original B5 440 6BBL Automatic car owned by a friend from the Austin, Texas area.  BTW SBBob, Ken has mentioned having met and spoken with you about the similarities of your car and his (other than the Hemi/wedge difference  )... I believe that it was in Las Vegas.

Here are a few pictures of Ken's Superbird in Dazed & Confused, and at a San Antonio Mopar Meet after being repainted B5 Blue...

BTW, Ken has joined the forum and generally lurks without posting... maybe this would be a good time for an intro... hope that's not throwing you under the bus my friend... 

(Note: The second pic is an enhanced version of the first pic.)

 Ken visits the board   .When I was visting family in Austin .I went over to TX big bird Matt Tolberts.And asked him if he knew of any wingcars or had any parts.I later found Kens after wandering around the area as I knew it was in Austin . Ken was nice enough let me see the car. I got a picture of the Prince Hodge decal on the air cleaner and the car .That superbirds prior owner Jeff Phillips of MO who had the chromed custom 69 Hemi daytona and a Yellow daytona  <center>

    Dave, you knew about Ken and his Superbird long before your visit to Austin... mentioning it several times on Moparts postings.  You "found" Ken's car while wandering around the secluded neighborhood where his parents live?... In that small garage with a tiny window...    If so, you are a darn good scout...

[nascarxx29]

I seen a orange 69-70 AMX sitter in same area  . I carry around my wingcar pictures and wear wingcar shirts.One lead led to another that led me to a house with a cream color satelitte on a driveway .Which I doubted was it but left my name and number an he called .If you doubt I carry my wingcar pictures .I met Troy in person for the first time at a Baytown mopar event Had all my pictures then .And Got leeds and meet new people at the Charger Boerne TX meet by showing my pictures and asking .And got to see other non aero cars after stopping by Sams mopar car lot in Austin that trip lead me to Nortec auto who had a 70 FM3 70 GTX .Then he gave me a lead to see a 70 Coronet RT Conv

Yes, I remember running into Ken in Vegas.  It has been several years since my Superbird has been there.  Lately have been taking the 70 Fury Ragtop to Vegas as don't get the top down here in Seattle much.  Looking forward to saying hi to him again - will be on the look out for him.  Also if anyone has info on where BIG BREAK FILMS went to or on the car wrangler Shawn Conway give me a shout.  I know the film is just sitting in a can somewhere on a shelf.  Thanks, SBBob
