There was plenty of funky looking Superbirds and Daytona's back in the early 80's. I'll go through some pictures here in a few days and post some of the strange ones. I believe I even have a picture of a Pink Superbird with white running down the side from nose cone to tail. I know  there is a pic of a Limelight green Daytona with a black longitudinal stripe down the side of it. There were some strange people then.

Back in the early 80's it was in a magazine, anyone remember it from that far back? Of have you seen it recently in a magazine or show? It was a 70' SuperBird for sure, I had it in a mag' myself, but it got tossed out accidently while we were moving. Car was all black with flames from the nose cone all the way down the side of it and I believe it had Cragar S/S mags even. Any info. or photos welcomed of it.

I still have that magazine, it was called "CARS" & was about the only one back then that ever put Mopars in it. (Screw Hot Rod & Car Craft) The black Superbird was on the cover if I'm not mistaken, & I was just telling my wife about it not more than a few days ago. White at the tip of the nose fading into the reddish orange further back. I liked the flame job & since my 6 year old daughter likes them & always points out the flames at car shows, I should paint the Daytona I'm building the same color. It's only paint, so what the hell?  

I can try to find it & scan it for you, but it may take a while. I'm helping a friend pick up a '65 Satellite this weekend with my trailer, it's a 383 car with a 440 now. I'll be sure to get some pics too.

Hey dads_69,

I've been going through a bunch of boxes with old magazines, & so far I haven't seen it yet. I know I wouldn't have tossed it since it was one of my favorites. It was issue #1, & I have found issue #2. (The only reason I know that, is because in the back of issue #2 there is a small, black & white pic of the Superbird in issue #1.)

I have found a bunch of other mags with ads, stories & feature cars that are definitely worth scanning, but I'm on a quest to get the blackbird first. It's now going to annoy the crap out of me until I do find it. I'll be back in the attic this week to get some decorations & will look at a couple of more boxes to see if it's there.

I found a General Lee story in a mag from when the series was still on in prime time. I think it was interviews with the guys building the cars & behind the scenes kind of thing. There's more, but I don't recall offhand, I'll have to scan that too for another thread & post it later some time. Don't worry, I didn't forget about the bird, Bob
