Here's my Superbird story... RM23U0A161593

[Montreal Wing Car]

I was really  hoping someone would come through with a Daytona 300! I'm no good with Photoshop...
Thanks! One of the reasons I like the car is because I find the front end looks a bit like a 70 Charger, so the conversion seemed natural..
The script lettering on the quarters is very classy... 
Gotta get me some plywood now!

[nascarxx29]

[nelson_audet]

hey ben très cool tes photos

[Montreal Wing Car]

Hey Nelson, you should change that picture, or you're afraid to be kicked out once they find out you switched to an E-body? 
They were still nice to me when all I had was a C...
A la prochaine,
Ben

I spoke with the next owner of ''my'' Bird again, and he recalled selling the car to a father/son duo from Portland/California, who already owned a few more Birds... ring any bells with anyone?

Sorry I cannot help you with your bird but would you happen to know if the daytona pic you took was a 4-SPD?

[Montreal Wing Car]

Sorry I did not notice if the Daytona was a 4 speed then...

The Portland/Cali - father/son in the early 80's info still does not ring a bell with anyone?

Ben

[Montreal Wing Car]

New info!
The guy I sold it to called tonight, he found an old DSAC newsletter from 1987 and his number was 1387, his name is Mike Bidard on it, from St-Jean, Quebec Canada (his actual name is Michel Bédard). So it actually went to the US in 87 or 88. Maybe there is a record of the VIN under his name/ number.
He still owns a nice Hemi-powered Daytona clone that is for sale:

Here is an old photo taken in Montreal i believe it was.

[Montreal Wing Car]

Thanks, from the other cars around, it looks like the 80's, and my car was orange by then.
This is probably Jean-Marc Gaudet's car, that he still owns today.

Ben

I took that pic probably in the late 80s.Remember it being a little rough.
Ben do you know of a guy named Louis from Montreal that has or had a orange Bird.He bought it in Asbestos from a guy who also had a blue one ( originally Y1 )

The Portland/Cali - father/son in the early 80's info still does not ring a bell with anyone?

Ben

Clyde Rollins and his son Bob had 11 or 12 Superbirds between 83 and 95.    Clyde had a summer home in Portland and a winter home in Indian Wells CA.   I know he had a few green birds.     We would store some of the cars in our back yard as he purchased them in the mid 80s through the mid 90s.  That name ring a bell?

That sounds just about right!
The car would have been orange when they bought it, and would have looked o.k., not a wreck, as seen on this ad:



Would you have any info on their cars?

Aero 426 Doug might be able to cross reference it to a vin and most new members sent in a initial story and picture when they joined the DSAC
