Own a Concours 1970 Boss 429 Mustang, in Calypso Carol (11000 miles). Also a 1969 Cyclone GT, 390, 4 speed (23000 miles), Harley etc

I have been interested in Superbird for only a short time, but my interest is growing fast!

Welcome!
Ford guys have an easy time sliding into Mopars, they're used to spending $GM x 4 for everything...

Oh,, Gary..... Welcome board !!!!

Welcome Gary. Be aware that this February is Ford Excused Month here. If you don't have a Mopar by the end of the month you're out of here.

And no matter what those Dodge guys say, the Daytona was just for practice, the Superbird was the real deal.

nascarxx29 · February 02, 2011, 12:40:45 AM

Though the KK Nascar mustang doesnt have Aero car following .It to was outsourced to the vendor Kar Kraft for its 429 conversion.As our aero cars were outsourced for conversion.A part of which makes them unique

gtx6970 · February 02, 2011, 08:18:25 AM

I know of a Bird . It's not really for sale persay. But I think it might be able to be bought
Vitamin C , black int 6 barrel console auto. 3rd bird built, 1st bird released to be sold

the owner and myself had lunch over the weekend and he mentioned getting it driveable again and trying to sell , (, it was slated to begin the restoration about 3 years ago, but he lost interest in doing another car and it's been in dry storage the last 15 years )

shoot me a pm if you want to know more and I'll ask the owner

maxwellwedge · February 02, 2011, 08:53:42 AM

Actually - I have owned Boss Mustangs and have been casually looking for a good Boss-9.....everyone I see has had "too many excuses". None at B-J impressed me this year. They are a cool car to be sure!

FJ5WING · February 02, 2011, 09:11:50 AM

Welcome....

Im a Ford guy first but I never progressed past a 428CJ Mach1.
Go ahead and get the Bird dont let these Charger bullies

Welcome to the site Gary. I'm one of the lower income guys here and could only afford a GENERAL LEE (68 charger) and not a wing car... But I do look at these threads time to time and dream. Hahaha. Chuck

All I know Dave it takes a lot of time and input from others/club members to construct a website. Being the former President of the Houston Mopar Club for many terms, I know what's involved with newsletters and websites. So, when there's one to a couple of people contributing to creating and maintain BOTH a club newsletter ( I know both clubs I mention do that) and a website, it's hard work.

With the stats and pictures you have, it would be a great project for you to undertake.. I commend and salute you on your next Aero-Endeavour.

Welcome to the website!!! I LOVE your Boss!!!! The reason I'm actually into muscle cars and have my Mopars is because of a Grabber Blue '70 Boss 429 4spd Mustang

62 Max · February 02, 2011, 10:41:31 PM

You can have this one cheap.

Hi

About 6 months ago, there was a guy selling a couple of Superbirds on Ebay. His Ebay handle was something like "hank..?
Does anyone know this ebay user?

Did you notice his "Superbird-only" Bendix disc brake booster? Superbird-only?

70Sbird · February 03, 2011, 10:01:32 AM

Welcome!
lots of great folks on here and lots of information on the Ford and Mopar Aero cars (and a whole lot of other stuff to)

limelightsuperbird · February 03, 2011, 12:18:21 PM

One thing we can all agree on, in a straight line they are all a blast!!!Nice couple of kickass fords you have there! Birdman.

boss429kiwi · February 03, 2011, 01:42:59 PM

OK guys, here is the BIG question!
First off, I am sorry to ask, but I need as much asistance as possible on Superbirds. Ask me a question about Boss 429,s and I could tell you what bolt head goes where. If someone were to ask this question on the Boss 429 forum it would end up in a shit fight.

So please play nicely.

How much would I be expected to pay for a good Superbird. Let say a good driver, older restoration quality etc (no rust!)

440 6 pack, 4 speed, buckets = $

440, auto, bench = $

moparstuart · February 03, 2011, 03:03:06 PM

you should be able to find a very nice driver for 100k maybe less if you shop 75 to 80 k for auto ? there are better deals out there with people really hurting in this economy

Looks about right to me.

held1823 · February 03, 2011, 03:22:46 PM

A dealer in Delaware, mentioned in a thread last week, has a fleet of wing cars. His Superbirds range in price from the 90's to the 140's. Better prices are going to be out there, but the guy definitely has some nice stuff.

boss429kiwi · February 03, 2011, 03:39:57 PM

Wow, nice collection!
But he certainly loves column autos and bench seats.

held1823 · February 03, 2011, 03:45:40 PM

True. Out of the entire fleet, it looks like a grand total of ONE car isn't a column shift, and only two with bucket seats.

Nah, that's just what happens when you buy used.
