  is that an e-body steering wheel  ? 

[Dave Kanofsky]

Dig them tire booties!

Great lookin' car, I'm guessing thrush has something to do with it?

[tan top]

   looks awesome in black !! with that trim combo

looks like a tuff wheel i think ??    think  70 & up A bodys had them too as an option   but don't quote me on this  

[hemi68charger]

   Cool !!!

The tuff wheel was actually optional on 70 B bodies very late in the model year. Not very many left the factory. 

[moparstuart]

 cool  larry told me this car was a numbers matching  RR convert  .but just a basket case and not worth putting back original  

   scott my buddy told me larry is building it for his power tour ride this year

...'70 Road Runner...arriving at the shop last year...it was a complete car, matching numbers etc...just ugly...

...I had been kicking around the idea for a while and a donor car became available not far from my home, so "Project Blackbird" was born

...it will have a black top, steel wheels/dog dish, buckets/no console, radio delete, power windows, 426 Fuel Injection, 6-spd...all PLYMOUTH/Superbird decals will be black...THRUSH stuff will be gone soon...being built to drive like it's 1970 again

...the guys building the car do the best work I have ever seen...great attention to detail/fit/finish...it is stunning

[69 DAYTONA]

not much time for pix...this is the car about 10 days ago

HELD...Doug was probably calling me for more $$$...  ;>)))

definitely in their blood. stewart raised them with sanding blocks for teething rings.

[69 DAYTONA]

...some may condem the project because we used a real Road Runner...but we saved every stock piece in case anyone ever wants to convert it back ...but at my age, I doubt the car will ever be sold again...it oughta be a fun car to play with

[nascarxx29]

Looks good were gonna need a superbird conv registry .I think this is the first black one.My friend who has the FM3 conv .Had found a 383 X9 70 Satelitte conv.But it was gone before we had the $.I think I got pictures of it somewhere

[FJ5WING]

Very Nice!!!!! 

I love it in Black. I like the steering wheel and Im digging the seat treatments.

[Lighthorseman]

Simply outstanding.  I have a tuff wheel I was saving for... ?  Now I know where it's going.  I can't wait for updates.  

By the way - Are there REALLY 67 convertible "Superbirds" out there?  Wow.  Way more than I thought.  Can't wait until mine is counted as well.  

[70Sbird]

BEEEEUUTTIFFULLLL...........

[learical1]

They may not be 'topless', but there's been black SuperBirds for ages.  Took these pictures in 1978:

[learical1]

and these in 1980:

there might have been some "alterations" made to that production chart, which actually shows 74 of these things, not 67...

[nascarxx29]

The carlise superbird not sure who ened up with it.I found in 88 for $15K

[Lighthorseman]

Yes...I'm on something, it seems.     Okay, so, including hemis, an apparent number of 74??  Really?  74?  I'd have to agree with Stuart.  If there are 74, where are the other 60 or so that we haven't seen?

ok, there were a LOT of alterations made to that chart, including adding an extra gtx column to it, for starters. look closer at the similarities in numbers between the two columns. the gtx column is genuine; the birdvert one is not.

As long as we're on the subject of blackbirds......   

[moparstuart]

[moparstuart]

Kingston? Wow, that's about 30 minutes from me here in Newburgh, NY.

I moved here in '89 & never saw a bird in this area until I met my friend Craig who still has his two, a white one & a lime 6 pak one. 

If I recall, the one with the flames I posted was redone back to stock. I think someone on here either knows of it, or owns it.   

[FJ5WING]

Make sure to put the Corvette rims back on Black Ice!

I wish I still had my long blonde hair. I would so do a mullet and drive the wheels off of my bird. I would cruise every trailer park within a hundred miles. That includes both Arkansas and Oklahoma trailer parks.
